About

Every restoration treatment of Shag rugs begins with a full cleaning. This will show what marks that can be washed away is, and what is true deterioration that needs different care.

Whatever material it is made of, long pile is good at trapping dirt and food. Pet stains can cause discoloration and when left to settle for too long, actually lower the resilience of the fiber. Moth larvae can create holes that allow the backing to fall apart.

In order to bring a discolored rug back to its original look, the right dyes must be mixed up and a match must be found.  If faded from the sun or discolored from bleeding adjacent dye or pet stains, we will evaluate what must be done and let you know your options.
