Sisal carpet. Do you have it? What are the goods and bads?

[floridafam]

We are thinking of using this in 2 of our bedrooms.

Anything we should know. Our DS had bad allergies, if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

What I've heard about sisal is that it is very hard to clean. If you spill something on it, it will stain and you may not be able to clean the stain out. I don't think it does well with water.

We purchased a sisal look-a-like carpet from Ethan Allen, it is a nylon material, so it can be cleaned.

Thank you. I guess this isn't real Sisal we are looking at so maybe we'll be okay.

How do you like your carpet?

I have sisal in my sunroom. It looks beautiful with all the windows in there, a nice garden look.

I really like it. As you can see my LR is very neutral, so it works well. Here is a pic...
