Sisal, Seagrass, and Jute carpets are notoriously difficult to clean - and if you're here, chances are you've been told that stains and colour fading are permanent. But that's no longer true.
At Brio Carpet Care, we remove most stains to restore your sisal carpet to its former glory. We have pioneered a breakthrough colour repair system that allows us to spot dye and restore faded areas on natural fibre carpets - blending seamlessly with the surrounding area for a near-invisible finish.
Want to see how we can spot dye your sisal carpets? Get in touch with Brio Carpet Care today.
How does it work?
In short, we reduce the stain and spot dye it to blend in.
We’ve spent years refining this technique and now train carpet care specialists across the UK, USA and Australia in its use.

Sisal Carpet Colour Loss
Sisal, seagrass, and jute carpets are highly sensitive to moisture and agitation, often resulting in faded, discoloured patches.
At Brio Carpet Care — the UK’s leading carpet dyeing specialists — we’ve developed Brio Dyes, a proprietary set of dyes for cellulosic fires, that allow
us to permanently restore colour to sisal carpets by spot dyeing faded areas. We custom match the carpet colour and airbrush the dye formula
to blend seamlessly with the surrounding fibres.
What causes sisal colour fading?
When wet, sisal, seagrass and jute fibres can easily release dyes, leading to visible fading - especially when combined with agitation.
This is a characteristic of all cellulosic fibres. Unlike wool, these fibres lack dye pockets to retain colour, making fading much more likely on sisal, jute,
seagrass.
That’s why, in the event of a spillage, gentle dabbing and rapid drying are the best ways to address the issue without causing damage.
Can Sisal Carpets Be Wet Cleaned?
No - unlike wool, nylon, polyester and polypropylene - fitted sisal, jute, and seagrass carpets should not be wet cleaned.
These natural fibres are highly sensitive to moisture and agitation, which can cause:
Shrinkage
Browning (due to cellulosic composition)
Prolonged drying times
Colour loss and fading
✅ Safe Cleaning for Sisal Carpets
Professional carpet cleaners use a dry cleaning compound system designed for natural fibres. Micro-sponges dampened with a solvent-based solution are agitated into the carpet using a counter-rotating brush. This method lifts dirt with minimal moisture and fast drying — ideal for sisal.
✅ Immersion Washing for Seagrass, Sisal and Jute Rugs
Loose sisal, jute, and seagrass rugs can be immersion washed by specialist rug cleaning workshops.
