Shaggy Rugs

[Tinks]

How do you clean them? My vacuum doesn't seem to be able to get to the bottom of the pile. I'm always finding lego, lolly wrappers and stuff down the bottom of the rug.

I have the same problem.. I wish we never bought it!

I get DH to help me turn it upside down and bash at it, that usually makes a lot of the stuff fall out.

I'm very interested to hear what others suggest!

Oooh... glad I found this thread. I was just about to buy one!!!

Aww nuts. They look so good though! Like Celsie, I was thinking about it...

THey are lovely. I love mine, it looks so lush.

BUT I can never get all the stuff out of the bottom of the rug no matter how i try.

I take the end off the vaccuum so that it is just a tube. Then I get down on my hands and knees and vigorously go back and forth gradually moving my way across/down the rug. This still doesn't get everything, but is a lot more effective than normal vaccuuming.

I will never buy another shaggy as this gives me the irrits - I have better things to do with my time (like have a cup of tea). Mind you my MIL has one and it is not nearly as hard to keep clean. It's all the things that come with having kids that make it grubby.
