Shag Rugs Cleaning and Care: Shaggy, high pile rugs collect the most dust and debris on their top level, which makes cleaning them as easy as giving a shake to loosen the dirt. Vacuum these rugs with a handheld attachment piece.

Natural Fiber Rugs Hemp, Linen, Jute, etc.

Cleaning: Blot stains with a wet, soapy washcloth as soon as possible. After cleaning stains, dry rug using a fan or hairdryer, as natural rugs are sensitive to excess moisture.

Care: Vacuum natural fiber rugs regularly, occasionally vacuuming underneath the rug to get any dirt that could've fallen through the weaves of the rugs.
