Can this be used on a shag rug?

I'm sure it would work , but be sure that the fibers are standing up when you apply it so that the spray covers all sides of each fiber. If the fibers are lying down, you will be spraying just one side of them. Also, you probably will not be able to cover as much area, since you'll need more product to cover the long fibers of shag carpeting.

I don't know why it could not be. It dries quickly and leaves the rug soft. In fact, there is no apparent evidence the product has been used on it.

I bought it for my daughter and I know for a fact she didn't use it on any deep shag. There was no problem in her apartment or anywhere else to my knowledge. I wouldn't think that there would be any trouble with any carpet. However I have not used it myself. Hope that helped.

It might. But it also might seep through the fabric. On a rug, any (possible) seepage wouldn't/doesn't show on the right side.

Hi Cynthia: If your carpet is thin this would probably work okay. It is flexible (it comes either rolled up or folded over) and is very good on hard floors. It would not be good on plush carpet

Not really. If the pile of the area rug was very low, then maybe. It is really best for hard floors.

I don't see why not and because it is motorized it should provide more power; especially, with the suction. In addition, because of the spray nozzle feature; this would be ideal so not to over soak those priceless rugs, since you control how mush distribution. For best results, always do a 'spot check' first in a corner or darkest part of the rug.

I would think so...I bought it for my nephew and he only used it outside. The older model I bought was only steel except the tracks so the bucket would not be floor friendly, however it would probably work on rug.

Not sure about shag ... works great on my low pile carpets ... I have a double coated Swissie & shedding would be awful without this rake ...

It works fine on shag carpet or large area rugs. Not so good on small throw rugs, regardless of pile. Too much suction.

If the rug is large enough or can be secured(maybe by stepping on it) it should work.

I use it on a rug and it works great. I would imagine it would work but hard to say for sure if you have very plush carpet.

I would think so. It goes from bare floor, indoor/outdoor carpet, to the thick church carpet keeping the great suction throughout. I don't have shag, but I think it would do fine.

If it is a small area I would say yes. Not to a big area though. I use mine mainly on my small door rugs and on my hardwood floors. It is great for that.

I only have a few thin carpets but it's completely smooth on those. I'd venture it'd be good although thick shag may slow it down.

I have no idea since our home has no shag carpets but it works well on all other type of carpets just by adjusting the height of the brushes. Jim

Never used it on a braided rug but can't see why it wouldn't work just as good on one as it does on carpet..
