rpet — while it may be tempting to have your laundry detergent pull double duty, it needs too much water to properly rinse, and you don’t want it to sink through and lead to mouldy floorboards.

Carpet cleaning for shag rugs

While most flatweave and low to medium-pile rugs can be dealt with in the usual ways, extra high-pile and shag carpeting needs a bit of special care. Hoover gently with the floor attachment of your vacuum to avoid making the fibres frizzy or loose. A steam cleaner is also a great deep cleaning option. For small area rugs, hanging your shag rug up outside and beating it with a broom handle or wooden spoon can remove dust with ease.

Bonus: if your furniture is leaving indents in the carpet, set an ice cube in the dent and let it melt a bit. This will expand the carpet fibres and bring them back to life. Then blot away the water and fluff up the fibres to the same height as their neighbours.

Corcoran’s flooring is sturdy, stylish, and ready to stand up to years of daily footfall, but even the best flooring needs a little help to keep it looking as clean and fresh as the day it was installed.
