We like the Belham Living Striped Hand Tufted Area Rug's multi-colored transitional design because it looks at home in nearly any decorating scheme. Placing a rug like this in your living room or bedroom is one of the simplest ways we know to bring together a room - with the added bonus of cushioning your feet against cold floors. (In fact, shag rugs on hard floors are a luxury you shouldn't do without during the wintertime.) But don't make the mistake of assuming that rugs are only for tile or wood floors; even carpeted rooms will benefit from the colors and patterns a rug offers. To keep your rug looking its best year after year, vacuum it regularly and seek professional rug cleaning when spills or stains occur.

Caring For Your Shag Rug:

To care for your shag rug, vacuum it weekly and set the vacuum to its highest height setting to prevent it from pulling out the rug material. Avoid using beater bars or brushes, as they may damage your rug; suction-only vacuum wands are gentler on rug fibers.

Regular vacuuming helps rugs retain their beauty and extends the life of the rug. Clean spills immediately: blot clean with a clean cloth and a solution of clear dish washing detergent (non-bleach) and water. Do not dry clean. Do not bleach. Professional rug cleaning recommended.
