There are thousands of different types of carpet to decorate your home with. Sisal carpet is a great choice and has many beneficial attributes. Sisal rugs and carpets are derived from products that are “naturally green”. A few natural fibers include sisal, seagrass, jute, mountain grass, and sisal wool. These fibers are both biodegradable and sustainable. Sisal fibers tend be shorter in length, and has a sort of “hairy” appearance. Majority of Sisal is grown in Kenya and Tanzania in Africa. Sisal is an extremely durable fiber that comes from green, long leaves of the Agave Sisalana cacti plant. Approximately 1000 fibers are derived from each leaf. The fibers undergo a long process of extraction, washing, being sundried, brushed, graded, and bailed. Sisal carpet is also affordable on any budget. There are many different colors and binding designs to help you pick the perfect match for you!
Sisal rugs and carpets have fairly easy maintenance regimens that make this an ideal choice for your home. For everyday cleaning, vacuum your Sisal fibers to help pick up dirt and other loose particles. Sisal manufacturer’s recommend using vacuum with a strong suction and a detachable brush, or an upright vacuum with a beater bar. Stains and spills need immediate attention because it will act as a magnet to any dirt particles stuck in the fibers, and causing the dirt to rise to the surface. For cleaning up an accident, make sure to always blot and not rub, with a clean white towel. Rubbing the stain can potentially force the stain deeper into the fiber layers resulting in a permanent stain. There is a Sisal spray-on sealant you can apply to your rugs to repel liquids.
If you want to use a sustainable and natural fiber, Sisal could be the perfect choice for you! The strong durability of this fiber makes it an excellent choice for any room in your home.
