  Sisal
 

Sisal is a kind of leaf fiber extracted from a kind of Agave plant, and originates from Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Its formal name: Agave Sisalana Perrine; English name: Sisal; alias: Sisalana. The leaf of sisal shows sword shape, hard and narrow, the length of lamina is commonly 100-140cm, width 13-15cm,and celadon to cyan. The sisal is characterized with thermophily and drought resistance, and suitable to be planted in tropical and semitropical regions.
Sisal is the perennial leaf fiber crop, and also a kind of hard fiber with the largest amount of consumption and widest use in the world at present. Because the hard fiber is characterized by easy woven, pure white color, tough texture, acid & alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, tough texture (strong tension), rich elasticity, seawater intrusion resistance, friction resistance, non-friableness, small gelatine, non-skidding, etc, it can¨t be substituted by ramie, jute or other bast fibers.
Unlike the traditional wool or synthetic carpets, the sisal carpet is a new type of carpet that is made of natural materials and has been produced in the past 20 to 30 years. Although the natural sisal carpet emerged in Europe since 80¨s of last century, it still is very popular around the world due to its unique texture, excellent characteristics as well as meeting the trend of nature and environmental protection pursued by many people nowadays.

  Carpet Maintenance
 
It is not advisable to use the water to wash the sisal carpet. We recommend regularly shaking or vacuum to remove dust or dirt outdoors. In order to keep the carpet clean, it is recommended that the doormat should be used outdoors and the slipper should be used indoors in order to prevent the dust leaving on the carpet.
If the dirt is left on the surface, it can be locally cleaned by using wet cloth with a small amount of liquid detergent.
In order to avoid growing mould, the carpet shall be used in the dry and well ventilated environment.
In case the water or other liquid spilled on the carpet,blot with clean, undyed cloth by pressing firmly around the spill to absorb as much as possible;do not wipe as this will make the spill area extend.
To keep the cotton borders clean, they should be cleaned regularly. If they were stained with dust or dirt, the sprayer with small amount of liquid detergent and mild water can be used to spray a small amount of mixed liquid on the dirty area, and use the undyed clean cloth to wipe off;dry the border as soon as possible after finishing the cleaning.
