Hello there!
I have a few questions for the experts here on this forum :) About 3 months ago, i moved into a new townhouse that has shag carpets, the fibres are about 2/3 of an inch long. Since then, ive only vaccumned a few times (I know :( bad bad bad!). Now the carpets are all flat :(. I know I need to start vacuuming every few days -- I will start on it asap (and will remove the beater on my vacuum as I hear it is bad for shag carpets?). How can I unflatten the carpet? When I vacuum it, it flattens immediately once I start walking on it. I was told to look into a carpet rake and rake daily -- I am eyeing the grandi broom. Will that solve my problem? Thank you! :) |

I have the same problem...the shag looks great after I vacuum but that nice appearance doesn't last very long.
Probably doesn't help either that my carpets haven't been professionally cleaned in quite some time (years). (I know :( bad bad bad!) ;) Do you have a disco ball to complement your shag carpeting?...I do!   |

Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

When carpet fibers get dirty, they bind together. When clean they are fluffier.
