Living With a Shag Wool Rug

My love for the Moroccan shag wool rug runs deep. I love the lux, the comfort, the good looks. The shedding and fluff, not so much. I'm talking fluff on 'roids here. I'm not a totally neat freak but I've been vacuuming every second day to try and control the fluff bunnies in every single room of the house. In an attempt to control the fluff, I turned to my old friend Google. The results were expected but disappointing. Basically, the take home message is...live with it. Boo hoo! I haven't got time for that. I decided to tackle the problem head on and now I sweep my rug every day. Yep, 7 days a week I get the broom out and feel like an idiot but so much easier than lugging the vacuum out every 2nd day. It's reduced the fluff no end and leaves less dirt, dust and hair to work its way into the rug fibres. Not a total win win, but pretty close.
Wool shag rug, so in love but the shedding drives me bananas!
Fluff balls on 'roids! This is from one room in one day. Ack
Sweeping a wool rug. Yep, seems silly but really cuts down on the fluff balls.
