Natural fibre rugs, made from materials such as Coir, Sisal, Jute, and Seagrass can be a beautiful addition to your home. Their unique textures and properties require specific maintenance to preserve their beauty and durability. Here’s a brief guide to help you care for your natural rugs effectively.
Preferred cleaning methods
Hoovering
The recommended frequency for hoovering plant fibre based rugs depends on foot traffic. Generally, aim for once a week, but with pets or children, you may need to do it more often. A suction cleaner without beater bars or rotating roller brush should be used to prevent surface damage.
Heavy soiling
When dealing with heavy mud buildup on your natural fibre rug, allow the mud to dry completely. Once it has dried, use a brush to loosen any soil from the fibers, and then hoover thoroughly to restore its cleanliness.
Spillages & Stains
Reacting swiftly to prevent staining is vital; spills are commonplace in households, but the response can determine whether they leave lasting marks on the rug.
Intec stain protection treatment
Developed specifically for natural floorcoverings. Intec acts by coating every fibre with a polymer shield so that the floorcovering resists the absorption of stains and dirt which in turn helps your floorcovering look good for longer. It is completely safe and does not affect the colour and texture of the floorcovering.
You can add Intec stain protection to your rug as an add-on for a small extra cost at the cart/checkout before paying. *note stain protection is only applied to the inner/weave and not to border(s) or piping.

Our cleaning & care kit costs £35.99 which includes a specially formulated cleansing solution, together with applicators and full instructions on how to deal with a variety of spills. Click here to buy a cleaning kit, or add one to your rug order as an extra during checkout.
