DIY: Cleaning your Sisal Rugs

Now do you have a sisal rugs stuck on your dining room or any part of your house and it started to become dirty through the years or life of usage and you want to clean it yourself? Well first you need to determine what type of rugs do you have in your home. Is it synthetic or natural sisal rug? If it is synthetic, the usual method to clean it is through hot-water extraction or dry cleaning method as per recommended by the manufacturer of this rugs. Now, for the natural fiber-sisal rugs, the usual recommended way of cleaning it is through dry-cleaning only. It is not recommended that you use steam-clean or wet shampoo. It is because excessive liquid or dampness on the rugs may cause it to shrink or crumple which is not good for rugs appearance.

Removing stain from it should be done lightly using cleaning solution recommended by the manufacturer. It should not be applied directly but use a white towel to gently remove the said stains. I know that this should be done elaborately with high care. That is why it is better that the rugs should be applied with fabric protectants so that fibers of the rugs are protected from foreign dirt. Use only fabric protectant that is recommended by the manufacturers.
