We don't have any fitted carpets but have a few shaggy rugs - all in need of cleaning.
I'm not sure if all carpet cleaners can cope with shaggy rugs, or if they're really designed for low pile carpets. Does anyone have any recommendations?
This thread is quite old now so some of the suggestions may be out of date, but if you’ve landed here looking for product recommendations, we’ve recently updated our guide to the best carpet cleaners with lots of options, as tried and tested by Mumsnet users and editors. We hope you find it useful.
