Hello AT,
What is the cheapest way to clean my cream shag rug? It is an $80 rug from Target, so spending a lot of money doesn’t make sense (then I should just buy a new one), but I was HORRIFIED to see how dingy the parts of it were that weren’t under my bed. I live in Manhattan on the UWS if that has any bearing on rug cleaning recommendations.
Thanks, Andrea

Dear Andrea,
This is a tough question because cheaper rugs use cheaper processes to process the wool and fibre that actually leaves them very raw and vulnerable to staining without their natural oils.
Does anyone have a real suggestion?

Hello Andrea,
After researching through many companies to find the one that would provide the best cleaning for the lowest price for my own rugs are found Rug Stars. I am very pleased with the service they provided at their very low price. I would personally recommend them to anyone. Who is looking for a trust able company to get their wool, Persian, shag, and oriental rug cleaning.

I hope this helps.
