The idea behind Hereke Navy Traditional Washable Rug
Hereke, north-west Türkiye — founded 1843
Where the design begins
Hereke was built as an imperial manufactory on the Sea of Marmara to weave for the Ottoman palace, and for a century it set the standard every other Turkish workshop measured itself against. Its weavers weighted the design toward the centre and kept the borders disciplined.
How to read the pattern
A Hereke field is organised around a single medallion with quarter-medallions answering it in the corners. Read it as a domed ceiling seen from below: the centre is the apex, the corner spandrels are the pendentives that carry it.
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.
Guida al lavaggio in base al peso
Quale lavatrice è adatta al mio tappeto?
Tutti i tappeti lavabili Rug Weavers sono pieghevoli. Scegli la lavatrice in base al peso a secco del tappeto, non alle dimensioni da disteso, e lavalo da solo.
Nove misure Rug Weavers, inclusi entrambi i tappeti rotondi e la misura 155 × 230 cm.
Scegli questa capacità per la misura 200 × 300 cm.
Come caricarlo: Piega il tappeto senza stringerlo, inseriscilo da solo nel cestello e non superare mai la capacità a secco dichiarata. Usa un ciclo delicato a 30 °C con detergente neutro, ridagli forma e asciugalo disteso all’aria. Segui sempre l’etichetta e le istruzioni della lavatrice.
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.
