To use this tapestry, you can hang it on a wall indoors to add a touch of art to your living space, or put it up outside to decorate your patio. When it gets dirty, simply toss it in the washing machine with cold water on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent to protect the colors and fabric. After washing, tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using bleach or high - heat settings as they may damage the tapestry. Also, be careful when hanging it to prevent any snags on the hand - sewn edges.
