SEAGRASS RUGS

Though considered as perhaps the least expensive natural fiber, seagrass is by no means less elegant or durable than the other natural fibers. Seagrass thrives in the coastal regions of China and India and is grown in wet paddies. Because of its non porous fiber, seagrass cannot be dyed and only comes in color ranging from brown to sage hues. This important non absorbent characteristic is what makes seagrass naturally stain resistant.

Despite the limited color options, seagrass’ natural colors blends well with various furniture settings as well. A favorite of beachowners, seagrass can withstand heavy traffic and repels stains fairly well. Its fibers also resist moisture, mold, and mildew relatively better than other natural fibers. Just like sisal, seagrass is backed with natural latex and bound with cotton tape for added durability.

Seagrass is relatively easy to clean. Its smooth stain-repellant fibers allows dirt to be easily brushed loose.

MOUNTAIN GRASS RUGS

Mountain Grass owes its name to the geographical conditions from which its fibers are harvested. Abundant in countries along the Pacific Rim, mountain grass is native to high altitude slopes. The fibers are thick and rigid, taking on a wood-like appearance. Just like seagrass, Mt. Grass only comes in natural colors, hence the presence of color variances and imperfections that add to each rug’s beauty.

Mountain grass rugs blend well with dark flooring surfaces such as hardwood and tiles. It warm colors bring a calm ambience to living rooms and hallways. For added support, Mt. Grass rugs are backed with natural latex and bound with cotton tape. Unlike seagrass however, Mt. Grass has a low tolerance for locations with high moisture levels. Though Mt. Grass is durable enough to withstand heavy traffic, exposure to moisture makes it susceptible to stains, molds, and mildew.

To preserve its beauty and quality, periodic vacuuming is recommended. Spills should be blotted immediately using a clean cloth.
