Shag rugs have deep, plush pile — a little regular attention keeps them soft and full.
- Vacuum with suction only — a beater bar tangles and pulls the long pile.
- Shake it out regularly to release dust trapped deep in the pile.
- Rake or brush the pile occasionally to keep it lifted and fluffy.
- Blot spills deep into the pile immediately, working from the outside in.
- Professional deep clean for set-in stains — avoid soaking it yourself.
- Rotate often to stop flattening in high-traffic spots.
