The idea behind Hereke Gold 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.
Guia de lavagem por peso
Que máquina de lavar é adequada ao meu tapete?
Todos os tapetes laváveis Rug Weavers são dobráveis. Escolha a máquina pelo peso seco do tapete, não pelas dimensões abertas, e lave-o sozinho.
Nove tamanhos Rug Weavers, incluindo os dois tapetes redondos e o tamanho 155 × 230 cm.
Escolha esta capacidade para o tamanho 200 × 300 cm.
Como colocar na máquina: Dobre o tapete sem apertar, coloque-o sozinho no tambor e nunca exceda a capacidade de carga seca indicada. Use um ciclo delicado a 30 °C com detergente suave, volte a dar-lhe forma e seque-o ao ar, na horizontal. Siga sempre a etiqueta e as instruções da máquina.
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.
