Is it ok to scrub down a shag rug with soap, then let it air dry?
Question:
Answers:
rinse or it will be slippery and attract more dirt.
Yes, as long as you rinse the soap out. I would take the rug outside and use the water hose on it.
Depends on the type of carpet, You really should try and find out the style of carpet it could be Wool, Nylon, Polyester, or Olifen. If you can find out that information, then find a janitorial store in your area. They could give you better advise on the chemicals that should be used for that particular fiber. If you had an expensive wool carpet and used a regular household soap, it could cause it to brown or fade, regular soaps also leave a residues that make it easier to attract dirt.
