How to Clean a Shaggy Rug
Shaggy rugs need care that suits their pile height and construction. Always follow the specific product care instructions before cleaning.
Vacuum carefully
Use a vacuum setting that is appropriate for the pile. Avoid aggressive brushing that can damage fibres.
Deal with spills quickly
Blot spills promptly and avoid soaking the rug unless the product's instructions specifically allow washing.
Deep cleaning
For heavy staining, consider professional cleaning where appropriate. Some rugs may have specific restrictions based on backing and construction.
