I bought a new rug and it sheds, how can I make it stop?
Question:
Answers:
You bought a rug that is made from a staple fiber, rather than a continuous filament. During the manufacturing process, small pieces of fiber that have been cut, stay in the carpet. Vacuuming several times usually will remove them, but occasionally, a carpet keeps shedding. If so, call the store where you bought it. It could be a manufacturing defect. But vacuum it a lot first. It is not your carpet that is falling apart, just extra fibers coming out. Good luck!
turn it over
shave it lightly with a womens razor..that will take the fuzz off without harming it...
Wash it.

constant vacuuming. New rugs and carpets will shed for a while. If you're not comfortable you can always contact the company you bought the rug from and ask for some tips.
