Yildiz

Soft washable rug made in TurkeySoft washable rug made in Turkey 100% recycled polyester, OEKO-TEX certified Medium pile: about 5/16" thick (8mm) Slight variations in size to be expected The CollectionWe made a better washable rug. The Field Collection offers a modern take on traditional Turkish motifs, done in tonal colors and textures. Their pile is—we cannot emphasize this enough—divinely soft. This collection has a slightly lower pile than most of our recycled polyester washable rugs, which makes their yarn a little less shiny. It also makes it a bit easier to fit them in your washing machine. The DesignYildiz means star in Turkish, and is the primary motif of this rug. It traditionally represents happiness, attentiveness, and fertility. The rug’s borders feature repeating evil eye motifs, historically woven for protection. An outward, open organ of the body, the eye is said to symbolically possess deep meaning and power of influence. The MaterialThese pieces are made with recycled polyester left over from production companies who manufacture polymers for textiles, medical, and engineering purposes, and which would otherwise end up in a landfill. The polyester runoff is transformed through heat into a soft, sustainable fiber with the look and feel of wool. Our recycled poly is highly durable, OEKO-TEX certified for safety, mildew-resistant and machine-washable. The MakerOur partner in Turkey began as a small family-owned weaving house over 50 years ago, with only two looms. Today, they're recognized as an award-winning leader in weaving technology, even making their own yarn for their various types of textile production. The DesignerOur in-house, all-star design team collaborates across three different countries. Based in Los Angeles, Istanbul, and Mumbai, they put a lot of thought into each and every collection they design. Starting with the weave itself, they determine material and technique, then create moodboards to capture the look and feel before starting to design. When designs are finalized, they conduct an extensive sampling process, perfecting each style and color before it goes to production. When it's time for a deeper clean, machine wash your rug with like colors on a delicate setting with 1 TBSP of unscented, clear detergent. For size 5' x 8' we recommend using a 60lb (8cu ft) commercial washing machine, for 6' x 9' we recommend an 80lb (11.5cu ft) commercial washing machine, and for 8' x 10' we recommend a 100lb (13.5cu ft) commercial washing machine. Please call your local laundromat ahead of time to determine if the right washer size is available. For sizes 9' x 12' and above, spot or dry clean. Be sure to wash rugs according to their recommended washing machine size capacity. Please note: failure to adhere to size recommendations could result in damage to your machine. Preferably line dry. Alternatively, tumble dry on no or low heat setting. If your rug is heavily soiled, or if it's tough to find a laundromat, dry cleaning is recommended A slight shrinkage of up to 1% can be expected for all washable rugs Spot cleaning instructions: Lightly dampen a paper towel or cloth with clean water Gently blot the affected area with your damp towel or cloth to dilute the stain If the stain persists, try using an unscented, citrus-free, clear soap to avoid bleaching the textile. Repeat this process until the stain is removed Vacuum on low power with a non-rotary (no spinning brush) vacuum or suction attachment only. Foot traffic and movement can skew the fiber direction of your rug. For a more uniform look, brush your rug with your hand or a stiff plastic bristle brush to smooth and reorient the pile.
