5 Ways To Keep Your White Shaggy Rug Looking New

1. Vacuum Cleaner

Slowly vacuum your Shaggy Rug with an attachment, row by row. You can also turn your rug over and vacuum the back to knock the dirt laying in the shag outwards.

It might be helpful to shake your rug out before vacuuming to get a fuller clean.

2. Shake It or Smack It

Take your rug outside and shake it. Hang it upside-down or over the clothes line and beat it with a broom or a mop handle.

Some recommend leaving the rug outside in the sun for a few hours to kill any lingering bacteria, but keep in mind the sun's UV rays can damage the color of your shaggy rug if it sits out for a prolonged period of time!

3. Shampoo

This one is a little risky to DIY, but you can use a dry carpet shampoo, which usually comes in powder form, to clean your Shaggy rug. Powder being sprinkled into shaggy rug is like sand going into long hair--it takes forever to get the last grain out!

Shampooing is not recommended to clean any type of shaggy rug although it still does break the dirt loose from the fiber strands when vacuumed on the back.

4. Spot Clean Shag Rugs

Spot cleaning shag rugs is a great method for when the kids spill their juice boxes or the glass of wine pours onto the shaggy rug
