I. Daily Maintenance: Reduce stains and wear, with prevention as the priority

Daily maintenance is the core of sisal carpet care, which can reduce cleaning pressure from the source and prevent premature aging of fibers.

Regular vacuuming to prevent dust accumulation: The pores of sisal fibers are prone to collecting dust and sand particles. If not cleaned for a long time, it will wear down the surface of the fibers and may also form stubborn stains when exposed to moisture. It is recommended to vacuum at least 2 to 3 times a week, paying special attention to areas that are frequently stepped on or prone to dust, such as doorways, under sofas, and coffee tables. When vacuuming, please note the following: Use a medium or low-power vacuum cleaner (to avoid strong suction damaging the fiber structure), pair it with a brush head instead of a roller brush (roller brushes can easily pull sisal fibers, causing pilling), and vacuum along the texture of the carpet to ensure that the dust is thoroughly sucked out from the pores.

Control environmental humidity to prevent mold and brittleness: Sisal fibers have a strong hygroscopicity. If the environmental humidity is too high (> 65%), it can easily cause the fibers to mold and discolor, while if it is too low, the fibers will become brittle and break. It is necessary to keep the indoor air well-ventilated on a daily basis. This can be achieved by opening Windows, using a dehumidifier (during the rainy season) or a humidifier (during the dry season) to adjust the humidity, keeping it between 40% and 60%. At the same time, avoid laying carpets in areas prone to getting wet, such as the bathroom and kitchen entrances. If they accidentally get wet, immediately use a dry cloth to absorb the moisture.

Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading and aging: Long-term direct sunlight exposure can cause the natural pigments in sisal fibers to decompose, leading to local fading of the carpet and brittleness of the fibers. If the carpet is close to the window, it is recommended to install curtains or blinds to reduce direct exposure to strong light. Every 3 to 6 months, you can turn the carpet over diagonally once to ensure even force and light distribution in each area, preventing excessive wear or fading in any part.

Place anti-slip MATS and floor MATS to reduce wear and tear: Lay special anti-slip MATS under the carpet, which can not only prevent the carpet from shifting but also reduce the friction between the carpet and the ground, protecting the bottom of the fibers. Place foot MATS at the entrance to absorb sand and soil from the soles of shoes in advance, preventing them from being brought into the room and scratching the surface of the carpet.
