In Sampler, paired rectangles come together, introducing a distinctive weave as they overlap. This dynamic design is inspired by samplers that were used to learn and demonstrate darning: a sewing technique for repairing holes or worn areas in fabric by replicating the structure of the original material. Dating back to at least the 18th century, these samplers typically covered small pieces of cloth in darning "blocks" of various weave structures in a variety of colors—especially blue, green, red, and yellow yarns—to make intricacies visible and show the weaver's skill.
- Occasionally lift and air out your rug, which allows it, and the surface on which it sits, to ventilate and stay dry.
- When moving or storing, roll up your rug with the woven surface facing outwards and tie loosely. In case of creasing, steam using a handheld garment steamer on the lowest heat setting.
- Cleaning is easy. To remove loose dirt and debris, sweep, vacuum, or shake out.
- In case of spills, blot quickly with a damp, lint-free cloth. Persistent stains may be treated with spot cleaner and wiped with a cloth. If needed, follow with a residential carpet cleaner or mop the surface.
- After cleaning, lift your rug and clean the floor. Allow both the rug and floor to dry completely before replacing.
- For deep cleaning, we recommend hot water extraction with mechanical brushing using equipment such as the Rug Doctor Deep Carpet Cleaner, Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3, or Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine.
- Do not clean with acetone, Pine-Sol, or citrus-based cleaning agents, as they can cause degradation and/or discoloration.
- Do not machine wash or iron.
