If you are going to use your textile as a rug, place a foam mat underneath it to prevent skidding and extra wear. Also, regularly vacuum it. If you decide to hang your rug, make sure it's not in direct contact with wood. This will cause it to yellow and become brittle. If you need to store it, make sure you roll the rug rather than fold it.
Fibers weaken or can break along the folds.
It's tempting to use cleaners or other traditional dusting tools on pottery, but it's important not to. It's best to dust only with a soft cotton cloth to avoid scratching the piece. It's important to remember that your pottery is decorative, not functional. Make sure you wash you hands before handling pottery. Oils in your skin can discolor polychrome pottery.
