Ordering
We recommend viewing a physical sample before ordering, as most screens do not show true colours.
While our quality control systems are designed to keep colour variation within normal industry tolerances, the tones of all natural fibres may vary slightly between batches and samples may change a little over time. For carpet orders where an exact colour match is required, please request a stock cutting. If joining carpets, please ensure at the time of order that you request cuts from the same batch.

Size tolerance
For carpets please always order 3% more than is required both on length and width.
For inset locations order oversized broadloom and cut in on site.

General
Natural fibres may fade over time, this may be accelerated by exposure to direct sunlight.

Fitting carpets
Our high quality carpets tend to be thick, dense and therefore heavy, so please ensure plenty of labour to move and fit them.
Hibiscus carpets should always be installed by professionals. They may be stretched onto grippers over good quality, solid underlay. They may also be stuck directly to the floor or fitted over underlay using the double stick method.

Installing rugs
A quality underlay beneath your rug will eradicate slippage and can reduce wear. Hibiscus offers non-slip rug underlay suitable for rugs laid over carpets or hard floors.

General maintenance (aka: keep Your carpet happy)

Give your newly fitted carpet or rug a regular vacuum. Some early fluffing or “shedding” is totally normal — think of it as your carpet settling in. This will soon stop with frequent vacuuming and won’t affect its good looks or performance.

Keep up regular vacuuming throughout your carpet’s lifetime, and remember: turn the beater bar OFF — carpets with loop pile prefer a gentle touch!

Want Your Carpet to Live Its Best Life?

Help your floorcovering stay fabulous for longer by following these easy tips:

• Pop barrier mats by doors — they catch dirt before it crashes the party (just clean them often!)
• Use castor mats under wheely chairs — prevent wheely-chair wear and tear
• Add furniture cups under furniture legs — no more tiny pressure divots
• Lay non-slip underlay under rugs and rotate rugs regularly — fair wear is happy wear
• Grab an Emergency Spot Cleaning Kit when you buy your carpet or rug — because spills happen, and it’s best to be ready!

Cleaning carpets or rugs containing sisal

Caring for sisal carpets and rugs is straightforward and follows many of the same principles as caring for wool — with one important difference: keep it dry. Sisal is highly absorbent and sensitive to moisture, so gentle, dry-focused cleaning is key to preserving its natural texture and appearance.

Spills & Stains — Do:

• Lift, don’t smear — Remove any solids carefully using a spoon or blunt knife
• Blot promptly — Use plain white absorbent paper (kitchen towel is ideal)
• Keep it fresh — Replace the paper frequently until it comes away dry
• Use your emergency spot cleaning kit where appropriate
• Call in the professionals if the stain proves stubborn

Spills & Stains — Do NOT:

• Do not rub or scrub — this can burst the pile surface and cause permanent damage
• Do not add water or liquid
• Do not use home steam cleaners — sisal prefers a gentler touch
• Do not use household cleaning chemicals — these may set the stain, damage fibres, or leave a sticky residue that attracts re-soiling
