How do I clean a sisal area rug at home?

Question:I could always send it out to a dry cleaner or a rug specialist, but I'd rather save the money and do it at home. Here's a link to what a sisal rug looks like: http://www.potterybarn.com/products/p576...

Answers:
Sisal area rugs are simple to clean using mild dishwashing detergent and water. To do this, take the rug outdoors. Dip a brush in a detergent solution to clean the entire surface, and rinse with a hose. Hang the rug up to dry in the sun.

But be sure it dries quickly and completely. Damp,
natural fiber rugs will mildew and eventually disintegrate.
