Question:

how do i rejuvinate my shag rug?

i have had a shag rug for more than a year and the area my kids love to sit it is all smooshed down.....even when i vaccuum...The area under my coffe table is like it used to be when i vaccuum. how can i make it pop back up like it used to?

Answer:

Vacuums can pick up all the loose dirt, but some of it gets matted into the carpet fibers and eventually weighs them down. Rent a steam cleaner or rug shampooer or have a professional company do it for you and you will be amazed at the results. Carpet should be cleaned once a year or every other year depending on the traffic they get - sounds like yours needs it once a year.
on top of that- using a leaf rake helps to flff it back up.
i have heard of wetting the rug and using a wide toothed comb with rounded ends, you can really detail it that way.
