“The one sharp odour patch made the rug feel older than it really was. The dog had one bad moment on our shaggy rug, and it was enough to make the room smell off. It came back smelling clean rather than covered in perfume.”Liam Reynolds · Burleigh Heads · customer review

From your front door to our Yatala facility and safely back again. This is the real process, not a quick spray.
Why a shag smell keeps coming back when the room warms up
| In-home / van clean | Premier facility wash | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it is cleaned | Sprayed where it lies, in your home | Full immersion bath at our facility |
| Water and drying | Left damp in the pile for days | Controlled rinse, dried with airflow |
| Dye and shrinkage | Heat and over-wetting risk both | Dye-tested and controlled, no shrinkage |
| Pet urine in the backing | Surface spray never reaches it | Immersion reaches the whole rug |
You rolled the rug up after a pet accident because you couldn't use it in the lounge, and every time the room warms up the urine smell comes back. Or you've pulled a shag out of storage and the musty, rolled-up smell is too strong for the house. The trouble is the pile is built deep and dense, so urine and damp wick straight down to the backing where a vacuum, a spray or a quick steam can't reach. Airing it on the line never quite clears it, and you didn't want to risk making it worse with another home cleaner or a weekend of hand-brushing it in the yard.
A carpet cleaner with a van can ruin a fine rug
One-size-fits-all carpet machines are the number one cause of rug damage. Here is exactly what goes wrong.
The smell reactivates, again and again
a surface clean or a spray only masks the odour for a fortnight. The urine salts sit deep in the backing, so the smell floods back the next warm, humid day and the rug goes straight back into storage.DIY shampoo leaves it soaked and stiff
push detergent into a pile that holds litres of water and it comes out clumpy, soapy and slow to dry. In Gold Coast humidity a thick shag stays damp at the base for days and turns musty, not fresh.A beater bar shreds the loft
hired machines and beater bars rip long fibres loose so the rug sheds for months, and they crush the plush pile flat instead of lifting it. The damage doesn't grow back.Steamed over on the floor
many cleaners won't touch high-pile shag, or they steam over it where it lies and leave it wet at the base, soapy and no fresher than before. Light and white shag shows the leftover dirt creeping in worse than ever.Don't risk a one-size-fits-all clean on a rug you love

Your rug is collected and brought to our dedicated washing facility, where it is hand-assessed and cleaned by fibre, then dried under control. A deep, safe clean that protects the rug you love, backed by 29 years and a free re-wash guarantee.
Built to protect your rug
where other cleaners tell you high-pile shag can't be done, it's exactly what we specialise in. We submerge the whole rug to flush grit, sand, dander and urine salts from the backing, then dry it slowly and flat so it comes back lofty, not crushed.
competitors steam over the surface; full immersion reaches the urine and stale storage smell trapped against the backing and rinses it away. The rug comes back smelling normal and stays that way, no two-week perfume cover-up.
no destructive beater bar, no fraying. We dye and colour-fastness test first, hand-wash in controlled water, and dry flat under control, so white and light deep-pile shag returns soft and even, not grey or shedding.
no folding a heavy shag into the car or wrestling a soaked one in the yard. We collect from anywhere on the Gold Coast free, fully insured, 29 years and IICRC-certified, backed by a free re-wash guarantee and an honest assessment before we start.

Common questions
What's the best way to clean a shaggy rug?
Full immersion hand-washing is the only method that truly cleans deep, high-pile shag. The dirt, dander and odour that age a shag sit right down against the backing, where vacuuming, spot-spraying and surface steam simply can't reach. We submerge the whole rug at our Yatala facility, flush the pile from the base up, then dry it slowly and flat so it keeps its loft. Home methods only ever touch the surface and risk damaging the pile.
How much does it cost to get a shaggy rug cleaned?
We quote each rug individually rather than charge a flat rate, because price depends on size, fibre and how deep the pile is, and a dense high-pile shag takes more work than a thin flat rug. Tell us the rough size on 1800 655 949 and we'll give you a clear price with no surprises, and we'll tell you honestly if cleaning is worth it. Bringing more than one? You save $20 on every additional rug in the same booking.
How do you clean a shaggy rug?
We collect it free from your Gold Coast door, then dye-test and colour-fastness test it before any water touches the pile. The rug is fully immersed and hand-washed in controlled-temperature water so the wash reaches the backing, gently agitated by hand with no beater bar, thoroughly rinsed, then dried flat under controlled conditions. We never do this in a van or steam over it on your floor, then we deliver it back fresh and dry.
How do you make a shaggy rug fluffy again?
Usually gentle, pile-safe immersion lifts fibres far better than a home steam clean, and slow controlled drying lets a dense shag regain its loft and softness so it feels softer underfoot. A beater bar or hired machine does the opposite, crushing and fraying the pile. We'll give you an honest assessment of what to realistically expect for your particular rug before we begin, so there are no surprises.
How to make a shaggy rug look new again?
Bought a vintage or 70s shag and want a fresh start before laying it down? Or watching dirt creep into a light deep-pile rug? Full immersion clears grit and grime from deep in the pile, evens out a dull, grey look and brings the colours back, while controlled drying restores the loft. With our free re-wash guarantee, if it isn't right when it lands back at your door we'll wash it again at no cost.
