Shag rug cleaning. Clean pile, right down to the base

- From 19 €/m²
A thick rug is hard to wash at home
A wet shag rug weighs several times more and won't fit in a home washing machine. Drying is the hardest part: the thick base stays damp indoors for days, and damp brings odour and a risk of mould.
- A vacuum can't reach the dirt at the base of the pile
- A wet rug is heavy to carry and hang
- A rug that dries slowly starts to smell
The pile stands up again
Over time long pile gets flattened, and dust, grit and hair collect at its base. Washing loosens the dirt right down to the base, and the pile is soft and fluffy again. Drag the line across the photo to see the difference.

Why a shag rug is best cleaned in a facility
- Washing loosens dirt, dust and hair right from the base of the pile
- Spinning removes the water from the base, so the rug doesn't stay damp
- The rug dries indoors under control, so the weather doesn't affect the result
- Satisfaction guarantee: if you're not happy, we'll re-clean the rug at no extra cost
The process
How we clean a shag rug
1Pickup at your door
We collect the rug from your door at an agreed time in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa or Kauniainen.
2Inspection and stains
We check the material and pile and pre-treat stains before washing.
3Washing
The rug is washed with a detergent that suits the material and rinsed until the detergent is gone.
4Spinning
We spin the water out of the rug's base. This shortens drying and prevents odours.
5Drying and return
The rug dries indoors right through to the base. Then we bring it back clean, 3–7 business days after pickup.

Care between washes
Good care keeps the pile soft and stretches the time between washes. A shag rug is best washed about once a year, more often in a home with pets.
- Vacuum without a rotating brush, or use a rug nozzle. A rotating brush tears long pile.
- Shake a small rug outdoors. Dirt comes out of the pile more easily than with a vacuum.
- Turn the rug now and then so the pile flattens and fades evenly.
- Blot a stain straight away with kitchen paper. Don't rub, or the pile will get matted.
