There's a shag rug that has been in my basement for 15 years. Now, my basement is unfinished and is a bit damp in the summer but only on the walls. The rug itself is in pretty good shape but it does smell a tad bit damp and gross haha, and the bottom is a little shredded. Is there a way to clean it up so I can use it in my bedroom upstairs?
Professional or a commercial carpet cleaner will often do this type of cleaning and rug repair as a side business They will have the knowledge ir the rug can be cleaned and the shredded part fix. Dry cleaners wont have the experience about the age and condition of the rug will hold up to a machine wash or cleaning. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL
Talk to a dry cleaner. They will tell you whether or not it's salvageable and how much it will cost.
