Sisal Rugs And What You Need To Know
Natural fiber rugs are relatively easy to maintain because dirt does not cling to the hard fibers, but rests loosely in the weave. As with all rugs, regular vacuuming is the best care you can do to keep the fresh appearance of your rug. If there is a binding border, take special care to vacuum in the direction that the binding is sewn so as not to pull up the binding from the rug.

Beware, your dogs and cats will LOVE your rug! It is a grass product and they are going to be so pleased that you brought the grass “inside” for them. If an accident occurs, and it will, you need to act fast. Blot as much as you can. The old trusted solution of water and white distilled vinegar can be used to help neutralize the spill. Because natural fibers can absorb moisture, dry with a hairdryer or fan to prevent watermarks. Your rug can be professionally cleaned as needed.
Heads-up, you may have some slight shrinkage when the entire rug needs to be decontaminated, but definitely worth the investment.
