The idea behind Shiraz Ivory Traditional Washable Rug
Shiraz, Fars province, southern Iran
Where the design begins
Shiraz is the market city for the Qashqai and Khamseh tribes of Fars, and rugs sold under its name were mostly woven by those tribes on the move — town name, nomad hand.
How to read the pattern
Stacked diamond medallions running up the length of the rug, with small birds and animals filling the ground. The animals are not decoration: they are a record of the flock the weaver lived with.
Made to be lived with
Soft chenille polyester is woven into a dense, low pile on a cotton backing with a non-slip finish. It is designed for everyday vacuuming and a domestic 30°C wash.
Guía de lavado según el peso
¿Qué lavadora es adecuada para mi alfombra?
Todas las alfombras lavables Rug Weavers se pueden plegar. Elige la lavadora según el peso en seco de la alfombra, no por sus dimensiones extendidas, y lávala sola.
Nueve tamaños Rug Weavers, incluidas las dos alfombras redondas y la medida 155 × 230 cm.
Elige esta capacidad para la medida 200 × 300 cm.
Cómo cargarla: Dobla la alfombra sin apretarla, colócala sola en el tambor y no superes nunca la capacidad de carga en seco indicada. Usa un ciclo delicado a 30 °C con detergente suave, devuélvele la forma y sécala extendida al aire. Sigue siempre la etiqueta y las instrucciones de la lavadora.
Care, without the guesswork
Wash, dry, back to the room.
Follow the sewn care label and use a drum with enough room for the rug to move freely.
-
01
Vacuum first
Lift loose grit with low suction and no aggressive beater bar.
-
02
Blot the spill
Use cool water and a clean cloth. Blot gently—never scrub the fibres.
-
03
Wash at 30°C
Load loosely, wash alone on a gentle cycle, and use mild liquid detergent.
-
04
Keep it gentle
No bleach or fabric softener; both can alter colour and reduce grip.
-
05
Air dry flat
Reshape while damp and let it dry fully before returning it to the floor.
-
06
Match the dry weight
Fold loosely and use a machine whose stated capacity is at least the rug's dry weight.
Always check the sewn care label and your machine instructions. Wash the rug alone and never exceed the machine's stated dry-load capacity.
