Sisal Rug Cleaning: Professional Care by Devine Rug Care Sydney
Sisal rugs are a beautiful and eco-friendly addition to any home, offering a natural, rustic texture that complements a wide variety of interior styles. Made from the fibers of the sisal plant, these rugs are durable and sustainable, but they do require specialized care to maintain their integrity and appearance. Unlike synthetic rugs, sisal rugs are prone to absorbing moisture and staining, which means that proper cleaning is essential to prolong their lifespan.
At Devine Rug Care Sydney, we specialize in sisal rug cleaning, offering a thorough and delicate cleaning process that preserves the natural beauty of your rug while effectively removing dirt, stains, and odors. Our process is tailored to the specific needs of sisal rugs, ensuring that they remain vibrant, fresh, and in pristine condition.
Why Sisal Rugs Need Special Care
Sisal rugs are made from natural plant fibers, which means they are highly absorbent and can easily trap dirt, dust, and allergens. These rugs are also more susceptible to moisture damage, staining, and discoloration compared to synthetic fibers. As a result, how to clean a sisal rug requires a unique approach.
Sisal rugs are delicate and should never be cleaned using excessive water, as this can cause the fibers to shrink, warp, or yellow. Additionally, stains like red wine, coffee, and pet accidents can set quickly in sisal fibers, making professional cleaning essential to prevent permanent damage. Regular maintenance and professional sisal rug cleaning Sydney services ensure your sisal rug stays beautiful and functional for years to come.
Devine Rug Care’s Sisal Rug Cleaning Process
- Automatic Dusting: Removing Embedded Dirt and Debris
The first step in our cleaning process is to remove any dry dirt and debris from your sisal rug. We use an automatic rug duster, a powerful machine that is more effective than traditional vacuum cleaners. This machine efficiently dislodges particles such as sand, dust, dandruff, and hair from both sides of the rug.
- Why It’s Important: Sisal rugs tend to trap a lot of dry dirt deep within the fibers. Even the strongest vacuum cleaner can’t reach this dirt effectively. Our automatic rug duster ensures that all dry debris is removed before washing, making the cleaning process much more thorough.
- Hand Washing with Water and Vinegar
Once the rug has been dusted, we proceed with our hand-washing process. Sisal rug cleaning requires a gentle approach, and we use a combination of water and vinegar to clean the rug safely and effectively.
- Water: Water is used sparingly to avoid saturating the rug. It’s excellent for loosening and removing daily grime, dirt, and stains from the fibers.
- Vinegar: Vinegar is an eco-friendly cleaning agent that neutralizes bacteria and eliminates odors, such as those caused by pets or spills. It also helps soften the sisal fibers, restoring the rug’s natural texture.
By the time the washing process is complete, the rug is left with just clean water and no harmful chemicals. This ensures that your sisal rug retains its vibrant colors and feels refreshed.
- Water Extraction in a Centrifuge
After hand washing, we place the rug into a high-speed centrifuge to extract all excess water. This step is crucial for sisal rugs, as it prevents the fibers from absorbing too much moisture, which can lead to yellowing, warping, or mold growth.
- Why It’s Important: Proper water extraction ensures that the rug dries quickly and evenly. If left damp for too long, sisal fibers can become damaged, discolored, or even develop unpleasant odors. The centrifuge ensures that the rug is only damp, not soaked, and ready for rapid drying.
- Rapid Drying in a Climate-Controlled Room
Once the excess water has been removed, the rug is placed in our climate-controlled drying room. This room is equipped with fans, heaters, inlet fans, and exhaust fans to ensure optimal drying conditions. By constantly circulating dry air and removing humidity, we ensure that the rug dries quickly, regardless of outside weather conditions.
- Why Rapid Drying is Essential: Sisal rugs are highly sensitive to moisture, and slow drying can lead to yellowing, especially along the edges. Rapid drying helps prevent these issues while maintaining the rug’s natural softness and appearance. Whether it’s raining for weeks or the humidity is high, our drying process is unaffected by outdoor conditions.
- Stain Treatment for Stubborn Stains
The final step in our sisal rug cleaning process is stain treatment. Sisal fibers tend to hold onto stains like red wine, coffee, tea, pet urine, and other liquids, which can be difficult to remove. To treat these stains, we apply gentle and effective stain removal treatments that are designed to be safe for natural fibers.
- Why It’s Important: Treating stains on sisal rugs requires patience and care. We apply stain treatments over several days to ensure that they penetrate the fibers without causing damage. This method is effective for even the most stubborn stains, while also being gentle on the rug.

How to Care for Your Sisal Rug Between Professional Cleanings
- Vacuum Regularly: Vacuum your sisal rug regularly using a vacuum without a beater bar to remove surface dust and dirt. This helps prevent buildup and keeps your rug looking fresh.
- Blot Spills Immediately: If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub the stain, as this can cause it to spread or set deeper into the fibers.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Keep your sisal rug away from areas with high humidity or moisture, as sisal fibers are highly absorbent and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water.
The team pride themselves in their colouring process for rugs that have dye run. When some rugs get over wet or are water damaged, the colours can become unstable and run into each other (colour run) ie red or dark blue can run into the white or cream patterns in the rug. Devine Rug care use a specially made stripping agent which will remove the colour run and return the white pattern back to its original state.
