Unique Loom 4' 0 x 4' 0 Solid Shag Snow White Area Rug

A: Hello. The solid Shag and Infinity Shag rugs vary in terms of material and thickness. While solid shags are made of Polypropylene and are 1.5" thick, the Infinity shag is made of Polyester and is 2.5" thick.

A: Proper care is essential for maintaining the delicate fibers of a shag rug. Follow these steps for effective cleaning: Regular Vacuuming: Utilize a vacuum cleaner equipped with a rotating brush or one specifically designed for high-pile carpets to routinely remove loose dirt and debris. Spot Cleaning: In the event of spills or small stains, gently blot the affected area with a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb the liquid. Avoid rubbing, as this can embed the stain deeper into the fibers. Shake or Beat (for smaller rugs): For smaller shag rugs, take them outdoors and gently shake or beat them to dislodge trapped dust and debris. Professional Cleaning: For heavily soiled or stained rugs, or if you are unsure about safe cleaning methods, consider engaging a professional rug cleaner.

A: Unfortunately, our rugs do not have a non-slip or rubberized backing (except our small bath mats). The backing for a machine-made rug will either be cotton or jute. Unfortunately, we can not tell with certainty which material is used for the backing of a machine-made rug, as the material is chosen based on market prices and could vary within a collection.

A: Hello Judi, Vacuuming is generally not recommended with shag rugs. This is because a strong suction has the potential to break or rip out the long fibers of a shag rug. If you still want to use your vacuum on the top of the rug, be sure it is set to its highest height and the beater bar or brush is turned off. Leaving the beater bar on has the potential to rip out the pile of your beautiful rug.

A: Hi Katie. For the Unique Loom Solid Shag Area Rugs, we recommend to vacuum without a beater bar as this will cause damage overtime due to the harsh bristles. The vacuum needs to be suction-only or the rug can be taken outside and shaken out. You can use a carpet cleaner, commonly known as a shampooer, but he rug should be dried immediately and evenly.
