Is there anyplace I shouldn use natural fibers?
Because sisal and other natural fibers are naturally absorbent, they should be used indoors, in dry areas only. That means that covered porches, basements, kitchens and bathrooms are out. Exposure to changes in humidity and other elements can cause excessive wear and a potential environment for mold growth. Also, we do not recommend using sisal on stairs, as the fibers are sufficiently smooth that there’s an increased risk of someone slipping and falling. For areas like patios, screened-in porches, covered verandahs, damp basements, bathrooms, kitchens, poolside areas, etc., take a look at our Synthetic Sisal collection.
