Kilims are flat woven textiles that are made of intersecting warps and wefts.  For thousands of years, kilims have been woven to serve utilitarian purposes, such as for floor coverings in tents, tent covers, tent bands, baby cradles, and numerous other functions.  Throughout history, however, Kilims Rugs have also been enjoyed not just for their utilitarian benefits, but also for their great beauty and unique aesthetic.  In recent times especially, kilims have gained a wide popularity in American and European interior design.  This article aims to provide a guideline for how to care for handwoven kilims so that they can be preserved and handed down to future generations.
