Care and Maintenance of Shaggy Rugs

Proper care and maintenance will ensure your rug remains soft and beautiful for years. Here are some common questions:

How do you clean a shaggy rug?

Cleaning a plush rug isn't too hard, but you just have to be a bit gentle with it. What we usually recommend to our customers is to take it outside and give it a good shake to get rid of the loose dust and dirt. For regular cleaning, use a vacuum without the rotating brush. 

If there's a stain, quickly blot it with a clean cloth and use a mild detergent mixed with water to gently clean the spot. It really helps to air it out every now and then too, just to keep it fresh.

How do you get a shaggy rug fluffy again?

After cleaning by shaking or soft vacuuming, You can sprinkle a little water using a spray bottle and then run your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through the fibers to fluff them up. For extra softness, steam cleaning or using a fabric steamer can work wonders, just make sure not to soak the rug. Let it air dry completely, and it’ll feel fresh and fluffy again.

How do you keep a shaggy rug from shedding?

To avoid shedding you have to keep the fibers strong by regular cleaning, using harsh chemicals and rough cleaning methods can weaken the fibers. Placing the rug in low-traffic areas and rotating it occasionally can minimize wear and shedding.

How do you take care of a shaggy rug?

Proper care requires regular maintenance like shaking, spot cleaning, and gentle vacuuming. Don’t use harsh chemicals and detergents. 

Can you put a shaggy rug in the washing machine?

Due to long fibers, machine washing is not recommended for long pile rugs unless mentioned on the care label. Spot cleaning, shaking, and gentle vacuuming are recommended. If necessary, have them professionally cleaned to maintain their texture and shape.

Can vacuuming a shaggy rug damage it?

Yes, vacuuming with rotating brush can pull, fray, or tangle the long fibers. But you can use vacuum with suction-only settings to gently remove the dirt without damaging the rug fibers.

What materials are shaggy rugs made from, and which is best?

Wool, polyester, polypropylene, and acrylic are the significant materials used to manufacture shaggy rugs. Each material has different properties, Wool is considered the best in terms of quality as it's naturally soft, durable, and insulating, but also more expensive. Polyester and acrylic offer a soft feel and are more affordable, while polypropylene is stain-resistant and easy to maintain, making it great for high-traffic areas.
