Our natural floor coverings retain their appearance very well –
even if you don’t clean them regularly! You will find that our
pure sisal and coir floor coverings have a greater resistance
to soiling than woollen and synthetic carpets. They tend to hold
less dirt and dust than conventional tufted carpets due to their
tight woven structure and their anti-static characteristics.
However, they can still trap fine dirt in the fibres close to
the surface. This may not be immediately apparent but, over
time, this fine dirt could damage the fibres, or if mixed with
water, cause a stain.
Regular vacuum cleaning, ideally twice weekly, is the most
important step in preserving the fine appearance of your
floor covering. Cleaners with power brush heads (such as
the Dyson™) are the most effective at removing dirt from within the fibres.
Never steam clean your natural floor covering. Steam cleaning,
or any other overall cleaning method that uses water, will
saturate the natural fibres in your floor covering causing sisal
to shrink and coir to expand. Again, we stress, that our natural
floor coverings are not suitable for damp areas.
Heavy furniture can, over time, create indentations in some of our
boucle (ribbed) weaves. These indentations are superficial –
they do not affect wear. Use furniture caps or regularly move heavy furniture.
