To use this tapestry, you can hang it on a wall inside your home to add a touch of charm or outside to liven up your patio. When cleaning, simply put it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Then, tumble dry it on low heat. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they might damage the vivid colors. Also, make sure not to wring the tapestry forcefully to preserve the hand - sewn edges.
