How to Maintain Your Red Shag Rug

How to Maintain Your Red Shag Rug

Whether you are looking for an area rug to accentuate an existing room’s décor or an eye-catching centerpiece rug to add all other accessories around, a red shag rug can be just the item you need to add color and spice to any room in your house.   Not only does it enliven the atmosphere of a room, but adds character and style to your environment.  With the many styles and materials to choose from, these area rugs are an elegant way to decorate any floor and create the warm comfortable environment you desire.

One of the beautiful features of a shag rug is its long fibers which give it a fluffy full appearance.   Though this adds to the attractiveness of the rug, it also makes it more difficult to clean.  So in choosing your product it would be wise to check into the different fabrics and their care ahead of time so you will know how to properly maintain your purchase.  Some shag carpets such as the flokati style (Greek rug) cannot be vacuumed.  This style needs to be taken out and shaken or cleaned with a vacuum attachment.  So if you want this rug to stay clean longer, it is better to place it in a location that does not have a lot of traffic.  Nylon shags also are maintained by using a vacuum attachment but are more durable than wool rugs and come in many colors and patterns.

Another disadvantage to shag rugs is their shedding.  You will need to be careful with red shag rugs especially as the red color will show up on other furniture, especially if the other furniture is light in color.  Despite the extra attention needed to properly maintain a shag rug, they are still a very attractive accessory to add to your home.  Becoming familiar with the proper rug cleaners and techniques to maintain your carpet will help you in its care.
