How to Clean Shaggy Carpets?
Shaggy carpets require special attention and cleaning due to their long yarns and hollow weaving. The dirt and dust accumulated between the yarns of shaggy carpets, which need to be cleaned frequently, can be distributed to all rooms of your home as well as allergic effects. For this reason, if your carpet is in a frequently used place, it should be cleaned once a week.
- Shaggy carpets can be cleaned by hand wiping. However, in order for this process to be healthy, you should first shake your carpet well. The large pieces left between the threads will then be removed by themselves.
- The next cleaning step is to gently pass over your shaggy carpet with adhesive paper to remove fine debris such as hair, pet hair, etc.
- With the help of a vacuum cleaner, you can easily sweep away the dirt and dust accumulated at the bottom of your carpet.
- Equal amounts of white vinegar and water in a bowl is the most effective and natural cleaning water you can use to clean your shaggy carpet. By soaking your cloth in the mixture and wringing it well, you can quickly get rid of the stains on your carpet. After taking special care of the stains, you can clean your entire carpet with vinegar water.
- The most important point in shaggy carpet cleaning is to get your carpet as little wet as possible. It should be kept in mind that its soft texture may be damaged if it remains wet due to frequent cleaning. Another way to clean shaggy carpets is with carpet washing machines. If you do not have a carpet washing machine at home, you can clean your carpet once a month by wiping it with carpet shampoo and then dry it in the sun. Shaggy carpets, regardless of their size, should never be washed in a washing machine. The yarns of shaggy carpets exposed to even low temperatures may lose their softness and deterioration may occur in their structure.
What are Shaggy Carpet Features?
Shaggy carpets offer an incredibly soft, cotton-like appearance compared to machine-woven carpets. This appearance contributes to the environment where they are placed to turn into a cozy home in an instant. The yarns of shaggy carpets with a fleece look are quite long compared to machine woven carpets. The pile height, which is normally kept at a maximum of 1 to 2 cm, can be 3 or 6 cm in shaggy carpets depending on the models and the type of yarn used. Long yarns do not stay upwards due to gravity and are distributed in different directions. This causes a wavy appearance. This is the main reason why it resembles post carpets. At the same time, since the long yarns appear in a ball, the softness can be felt even at first glance. Shaggy Carpet Types Shaggy carpets with soft and long yarns can be seen in several types due to differences such as colors and the type of yarn used. The most common types of shaggy carpets are wool, acrylic, flokati and leather. Each of these different types of shaggy carpets, which look similar to each other from a distance, has its own characteristics and therefore their usage areas may vary. Examining the types of shaggy carpets also means finding the answer to the question of where shaggy carpets are used. Acrylic Shaggy Carpets are woven from acrylic fabric that is highly resistant to stains. Acrylic fabrics have a composition of fibers and look and feel like wool at first glance. However, they do not have as much liquid absorption rate as wool carpets. Acrylic carpets are the type of shaggy carpets with the most color variety. You can place them in frequently used rooms such as living rooms and living rooms or in your kitchen if you wish. Leather Shaggy Carpets are produced by hand weaving soft leather material into yarn. Leather shaggy carpets, which require a great deal of effort, have a colorful appearance. Leather carpets, which are the easiest type of shaggy carpets to clean, are suitable for use in rooms that are not overly intensive in daily use, such as bedrooms or bathrooms. Wool Shaggy Carpets are produced with soft, strong, long-lasting, durable wool material. The purpose of the existence of shaggy carpets is to provide a warm environment alone. Wool shaggy carpets, which have been used since the first production, can create a fireplace effect in a large living room.

Flokati Shaggy Carpets are carpets where the pile height reaches 6 centimeters by leaving the yarn part of the wool carpets longer. Flokati shaggy carpets, which use wool at every point from the bottom base to the yarn, have become an ideal choice for the least used parts of the home such as bedrooms and children's rooms.
