If the rug isn't too unmanageable, shaking it outside is also a great solution.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing what you do.<br /><br />Best,<br />CBCB Whittemorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737846177421292411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239939622083929042.post-22038953986568425762011-12-29T14:20:57.791-05:002011-12-29T14:20:57.791-05:00I have a big 10x14 shag rug.

I also flip it over once or twice a year or whenever I rearrange the room. It's amazing what stays deep down in there!Kat D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239939622083929042.post-62668828080811382872010-08-20T16:48:27.282-04:002010-08-20T16:48:27.282-04:00Vacuum cleaners, I bet your shag carpet looked gre...Vacuum cleaners, I bet your shag carpet looked great after your mom raked it!<br /><br />Best,<br />CBCB Whittemorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737846177421292411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239939622083929042.post-17567749986601801312010-08-20T11:21:41.855-04:002010-08-20T11:21:41.855-04:00I recall my mother after vacuuming

In addition to the methods you suggest, sometimes I take it outside and give it a good shake (it takes two people to do this). Shaking it really makes it look fluffy and nice again. <br />BethanyBethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04002624195568613587noreply@blogger.com
