What really happens to Ruggable Rugs including shag: 10 month review update

I’m here with an update to my Ruggable rug review I posted about. While I was happy with my rugs when I got them, I know some of you out there are wondering about their longecity. I’ve had mine for about 10-12 months, so I can tell you exactly what you’re in for.

In March, I bought a ruggable shag rug. I’d previously bought two regular rugs and was pretty happy with them at the time, so I deccided to splurge on a Ruggable Shag for my new work at home office. I was so confident is the washability of Ruggable that I even went for a white rug, something I wouldnt do with a regular rug, because, life happens and it definitely happens on the white rug. But with ruggable I felt pretty confident

When it arrived I was thrilled, it’s soft and furry and provides a wonderful base for my new office.

It’s been about 10 months since I bought the shag and with each month that goes by I think I’m becoming less and less in love with it, so I thought I’d share my experience in this video update so you know what you’re getting if you’re shopping for one of these rugs.

The key issue I have with the Ruggable shag is that it starts to get matted in higher traffic areas, like the spot under my feet when I’m sitting at my desk. It does start looking a bit like matted fur.

Thinking that was just a sign it needed washing, I put it in the laundry, carefully following Ruggable’s washing instructions, which includes using fabric softener. When it comes out now, the tentacle-like matts in the long faux fur fibres are still there. Ruggable suggests you mix up a spray bottle with softener and water, spritz it on the rug, and use a pet brush to comb through it. Which I’ve done the last few times. It works okay I guess, but it takes a lot of time and multiple passes to get it to look like it did when I got it.

And honestly, for a rug that’s supposed to be low maintenance, come on, combing it out every time? That’s a bit ridiculous.

I’d say my Ruggable shag has been washed probably four to five times in 10 months, and honestly, I’m a bit concerned that it’s not going to look good much longer. That’s frustrating, particularly since I spent $330CAD on it. Overall I’m pretty disappointed with the durability and longevity of the Ruggable sghags and I would not recommend getting one.

When it comes to the other rugs, the regular two-layer ones, those have held up much better. I’ve washed them each numerous times when they get dirty and they still come out looking good. My biggest complaint with them is that it’s almost like they’ve shrunk a bit; it’s now really really hard to get the cover evenly onto the base and without it peeking out from one end or another now, whereas during my initial lay-down it seemed to be a great fit. It’s frustrating
