Editing Sisal (section)

===Carpets===
Despite the yarn durability for which sisal is known, slight matting of sisal carpeting may occur in high-traffic areas.<ref name=wigglesworth/> Sisal carpet does not build up static nor does it trap dust, so vacuuming is the only maintenance required. High-spill areas should be treated with a fiber sealer and for spot removal, a dry-cleaning powder is recommended. Depending on climatic conditions, sisal absorbs air humidity or releases it, causing expansion or contraction. Sisal is not recommended for areas that receive wet spills or rain or snow.<ref name=wigglesworth/> Sisal is used by itself in carpets or in blends with wool and acrylic for a softer hand.<ref>{{cite book|author= Kadolph, Sara J and Ann L Langford |year=2002 |title= Textiles |edition=Ninth |location= New Jersey |publisher= Pearson Education, Inc |isbn=0-13-025443-6}}</ref>
