Sisal Carpeting



    Jute, Sisal, Seagrass, COIR, Hemp are names associated with floor coverings made from raw plant material. Ranging from mats to wall to wall, some with backings, some not, this type of material is in a very raw state. Therefore, an understanding of how they react to every day soiling and how they respond to cleaning is very helpful.

    One of the unique characteristics of this type of floor covering material is the tendency to develop mysterious dark spots when cleaned, regardless of the method used. Generally bringing a "worn" Sisal back to it's original state is a lost cause. Also, Sisal stains very easily. One of the best things to do is have it protected with a solvent based fabric protector to resist against water spots that result from any type of spillage. In addition to developing dark spots, Sisal may also "lighten" when cleaned. The best way to clean plant material is with a low moisture approach. The bottom line is that these products are not very spillage, traffic or cleaning friendly. However, you can't beat the look.

    Place this type of floor covering in a non-traffic, non-spillage area to prevent over use. Have a light, maintenance cleaning done about once a year to remove surface soils, pollen, asphalt, exhaust and other foreign matter that finds its way into our homes.

    A final note about Sisal is that some wool carpets come in a "Sisal style." These products are made to look like sisal, but are actually an entirely different material.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Due to the natural characteristics of these types of materials our company requires a written consent before proceeding with cleaning.
