We looked at a similar job a while ago and the seagrass had been cleaned before using sponges but the customer wasn't happy with the results, he also said a lot of the sponges had not come out of the weave and it had taken them weeks go get them all cleared out.

I walked away from they job, but it's just something to watch out for.

I believe seagrass can also be bonnet cleaned, anyone used this method?

A friend of mine is a major importer of the stuff.

I asked him what is the best  method to clean the stuff.

He had no answer

I believe he had also asked the manufacturers

The best treatment for Seagrass, Sisal etc is a Litre of unleaded
and a box of Swan Vestas.

Good answer AJB ;D

I've walked away every time I've seen the stuff.

I've spoken to people that have tried hwe :o, dry compounds and low moisture and none have been happy with results.

As Ian said I think its just un-cleanable.

Unless anyone knows better?
