Sisal, jute, seagrass & coir
Sisal, jute, seagrass & coir carpets can look absolutely beautiful in your home, and specific cleaning of them is needed. These hard wearing carpets MUST NOT be cleaned in the same way as ‘traditional carpets’ as introducing moisture to them can damage the fibres and cause irreparable damage. Unfortunately I’ve seen a case first hand where a carpet cleaner didn’t understand the delicacies of this natural fibre and wet cleaned it. Unfortunately it all had to be replaced!!
How To Clean Sisal, jute, seagrass & coir
There are many benefits to this hard wearing carpet, but specific cleaning needs to be carried out by a trained specialist! Stains can be difficult if not impossible in some cases to remove, and the overall appearance of the sisal carpet after cleaning sometimes does not give the wow factor that you may get from a wool/nylon carpet.
These natural fibres must be cleaned by a dry compound method which is a powder like a sea sponge with a very small amount of water in it. This is brushed into the carpet, which absorbs soils, then vacuumed up.
The fantastic thing about cleaning these natural fibres is that there is absolute ZERO drying time once they have been cleaned.

Our 6 Most Frequently Asked Questions
As a guide though, we would say a few hours to have the carpet perfectly dry depending on the above factors.
We endevour to remove all stains, but if the stain has already caused permanent damage to the fibres, this may not be possible. With any stain, we recommend you do not use household cleaners on it prior to professional help as a combination of the product and scrubbing/agitation can cause damage.
Think of a radish and a carrot. A radish can be white on the inside and pink on the outside, this is how we describe a carpet stain that has not been scrubbed or worked on and the stain remains on top of the fibres. A carrot is orange all the way through, so could have already caused permanent damage to the fibres, permanently stained carpet.
The type of carpet also plays a part in stains being ‘removeable’. A wool carpet for example can easily absorb stains as it has ‘fish scales’, where as a polypropylene carpet is more likely to repel stains as it is more plastic based.
This is a common myth unfortunately. Your will notice that your carpets get soiled at the same rate as before cleaning but because the carpet is cleaner, it can appear more noticeable.
When detergents are used, a residue can be left in the carpet, meaning the carpet can go sticky and attract more soil very easily and quickly. We clean using the latest technology and solutions, so strong chemicals and detergents are a no no for us. We rinse through any cleaning solution that we use with an acidic rinse solution. As well as giving the carpet a ‘conditioner’, this also leaves the carpet safe on the pH scale.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words
Absolutely, but please be aware that there is a reason we undergo as much training as we do. We are able to identify issues that may arise. Its also worth considering that a shop rented machine may not have been sanitised between visits so you could be cross contaminating your carpet with the previous users dog wee, blood, or worse!
Shop rented machines also tend to not be as powerful as our machinery, so if you do hire a machine, make sure you give as much attention to the drying as you do to the actual clean itself. Opening windows is a must, and if possible try to do this on a warm day.
The product that is generally supplied with these machines is a general cleaner. We advise that you try and match your problem to the bottle of cleaner that is supplied.
Hiring a machine from shops will generally not remove issues of dog urine odours as this may already be deeper rooted in the carpet. Sometimes, carpet needs to be pulled up and underlay to be replaced.
