What pile materials are commonly used in high-pile shaggy rugs?

High-pile shaggy rugs typically feature plush surfaces made from materials such as wool, polyester, and polypropylene. These fibres provide softness and durability, enhancing the luxurious feel of the 30-50mm pile.

Which sizes are available for shaggy rugs with a 30-50mm pile?

Shaggy rugs in this category are available in a range of sizes including 80x150 cm, 120x170 cm, 160x230 cm, 200x290 cm, and 240x340 cm. Round options with diameters of 80 cm, 120 cm, and 160 cm are also offered to suit various room layouts.

How durable are high-pile shaggy rugs compared to low-pile options?

While high-pile shaggy rugs offer exceptional comfort and plushness, their longer fibres require more gentle care to maintain durability. Fibres like polypropylene and wool are chosen for their resilience, but they may show wear faster than low-pile rugs in high-traffic areas.

Can I clean a shaggy rug with a 30-50mm pile at home?

Regular vacuuming with a suction-only vacuum is recommended to prevent fibre damage, but deep cleaning should be done professionally to preserve the shaggy texture. Machine washing is generally not advised for high-pile shaggy rugs.
