i was wondering if you can vacuum shag carpet because i am redoing my room and i always wanted shag carpet but am a neat freak so i wanted to find out if i can vacuum it. --------------------lt;3 Cassie Thanks
Yes, vacuum your room at least once a week. A carpet rake will keep it groomed, many homemaker's use them to keep the carpet looking neat and orderly.
Yes, dont worry they vacuumed shag carpet in the 60s and 70s you will be fine!
Absolutely you can! Most vacuum cleaners should have different options for the length of the carpet fiber, from extra low to high. For shag, you just choose high. If you use low, your carpet fibres will get ruined and the vacuum won't be happy either. Enjoy!
We moved into my husband's grandparent's former home which has two rooms with shag carpeting. I have a bagless vaccum and I set it on the 2 to lowest carpet level setting in one room and the highest in the other (that shag is sooo tall!). We've had NO problems! I'd say go for it! Also, since you are a neat freak I've also shampoo'd both rooms too! And my shampooer has no carpet height setting.
