Sisal Runners

Sisal fibre is incredibly strong, hardy and versatile. Traditionally, it was used to make rope and twine, which is why a sisal runner is most certainly hardwearing and a great flooring choice for living rooms, hallways and busy spaces. A latex-backed sisal runner is one of the most hardwearing of our natural plant fibre runner rugs.

Sisal is a hardwearing fibre and if fitted correctly a great choice as a natural stair runner. These Everyday Favourite sisal runners are intended for use 'loose laid,' but the great thing about our products is that they can also be made into bespoke rugs, runners and stair runners too. Simply contact your local Alternative Retail Partner who can arrange to visit your home, measure your staircase and advise on installation. Find your nearest using our handy Where to Buy to start the process.

When it comes to sisal runners, one of the key things to remember is that they don’t like to get wet; even water can potentially leave a mark. However, we can treat your sisal runner with Intec, which is our environmentally friendly stain inhibitor, before it leaves our production. This will help to reduce the impact of liquid spills, but it will not guarantee a mark is not left - it all depends on what was spilt, how quickly it was treated and what was used to clean the area. Our Natural Flooring Care Kits are WoolSafe certified, meaning that all products contained in the kit have been thoroughly tested and are safe to use on natural fibres. If you ever have a question or need the details of a professional cleaner, speak to an expert at WoolSafe now.

When it comes to vacuuming your gorgeous sisal runner, it’s best to do this regularly, using a strong suction-only vacuum. This will make sure that any fine dirt will be picked up without causing damage, keeping your sisal runner fresher for longer.

It’s important to remember that sisal as a material is naturally absorbent, which can mean it’s susceptible to liquid spills; even water could potentially leave a mark. It is also a plant fibre and therefore, in extreme circumstances, be susceptibile to mould and mildew. For that reason, we wouldn’t recommend utilising sisal runners in potentially wet environments such as the bathroom. If you do get your sisal runner wet, then remember to blot it up as soon as possible with a dry, clean white cloth or towel to avoid marks being left.
