What is a shag rug made from?
Shag rugs can be made from a variety of materials, which fall roughly into two fibres: synthetic and natural.-Synthetic: Synthetic shag rugs are common, made primarily from polyester and polypropylene.
-Natural: Natural shag rugs are often more expensive, and can be made from a wide range of materials including real fur, wool and cotton. Sometimes, a combination of materials is used, such as cotton and wool.
How long does a shag area rug last?
While shag rugs look great, they don’t typically last as long as other types of rugs. This is because the long fibres are susceptible to flattening in high-traffic areas, trapping in dirt and bacteria.With regular maintenance and cleaning, a good quality shag rug could last you up to a few years. If you’re planning on placing your rug in an area away from foot traffic, you should be able to squeeze even more life out of your purchase.
How to clean a shag rug
If you’re noticing a fair amount of wear and tear on your shag rug, it could be time to give it a deep clean. Here’s how to clean a shag rug:1. Vacuum it: Your first step will be to remove the trapped dirt, pet hair and dust from the dense fibres of your shag rug.
2. Spot-clean stains: Using a mixture of baking soda and warm water, dab at any obvious problem areas with a clean towel.
3. Consult a professional: If your rug is still looking worse for wear, consider having it professionally cleaned to extend its lifespan.
