Shag Rug Cleaning Challenges and Their Solutions

They cannot be vacuumed easily. We cannot run away from this fact. Even if we have a canister vacuum or upholstery attachment tool around. We need to literally vacuum in between the fibres row by row in order to get most of the dirt pulled out. Time-consuming but yes it is needed if you love the look of your rug and want it to remain with you as your treasured possession for a longer time.

Have a spill? There’s a need to worry about it. We can’t spot clean it instead they need to be blotted up quickly. As the cotton constructed backing can quickly suck the spill so you need to be a bit fast especially when you had a food spill or else it will attract bugs.

Trying to clean them on your own can be a bit difficult as they’re heavy to move. They also take much more time to dry. It is recommended to use a softer pressure washer spray when it is being washed with a full wash system. Pile distortion may be harmful to these rugs so extra care should be taken for its cleaning.

Taking out odour completely is also a mammoth task with these rugs as the cotton foundations of many shaggy rugs would absorb urine easily. We need to use a lot of water to get those contaminants out. We won’t recommend using them in your home if you don’t have trained pets. Even when it has latex adhesive, you may still be struggling to get the entire odour out of the rug.

Washing the shaggy rugs (whether they are natural or synthetic fibre made) is not a quicker and cheaper option. Washing is a labour-intensive service that requires a substantial amount sometimes it can be equivalent to the cost of getting a cheaper new rug. So cleaning the shaggy rug, dusting, vacuuming them regularly can bless them with more life and glamour.

Although we’ve discussed so many cleaning issues and challenges from nowhere we aim to discourage you from buying and using them. They can be used to redefine your living ambience offering it a soft and cosy look but yes special care is needed.
