Shag Rug Cleaning in Englewood Cliffs – Mo’s Rug & More
Deep Cleaning for High-Pile, Ultra-Plush Rugs
Shag rugs are soft, stylish, and luxurious, but cleaning them is no easy task. Their deep, dense pile traps dirt, dust, and allergens like a sponge, and regular vacuums just don’t cut it. That’s where we come in.
At Mo’s Rug & More, we provide professional shag rug cleaning services for customers in Englewood Cliffs, Fort Lee, Edgewater, and nearby cities. Our specialized process restores softness, eliminates odors, and revives the vibrant texture of your shag rug, without damaging its long fibers or backing.
Our Strategy for Shag Rug Cleaning
Every shag rug is treated uniquely based on fibre, height and condition.
1. Inspection and Pile Assessment
We will assess the rug’s fibre (wool, acrylic, polyester, cotton, etc.), backing, stain locations, and how the pile reacts to agitation or moisture. This gives us direction for the safest cleaning method.
2. Dry Dust Removal
We utilize a rug duster or gentle air/wave system to agitate and release the dry soil and debris from the fibres, far beyond the reach of vacuums. This is essential because it protects the foundation of your rug.
3. Pre-Treatment and Spot Cleaning
We pre-treated stains, pet accidents and high traffic with safe treatment solutions compatible with the fibres. For Flokati’s and natural shag we also used safe shampoo for wool when possible.
4. Controlled Washing or Foam Cleaning
Depending upon the construction of the rug we used the following:
• Low moisture encapsulation for tufted synthetic shag rugs
• Hand washed and rinsed for Flokati and natural fibre rugs
• Foam cleaned and lightly brushed for shag rugs with high sensitivity backing
Once again, we took care with retainig the backing moisture rate not being overtly saturated or too soft causing shedding
5. Rinsing & Detangling
After washing the shag, the rug is gently rinsed out to ensure there is no residue left, and then detangled using combing tools that are designed for longer fibers. The result is an improved fluffed appearance, and reducing the chances of matting.
6. Controlled Drying & Fluffing
The rug is then laid flat in a humidity-controlled environment for drying to eliminate any likelihood of odor or mildew. Once dry, we groom the pile to help it regain the bounce and soft texture inherent in the fiber of the shag rug.
