Answered on 16th Feb 2021 - Member since Feb 2021 - report"The make or quality MTA contribute to carpets/rugs shedding.
Here are some tips to minimise that:
1) Lightly vacuum it regularly, going with the grain of the pile and not against it.
2) Make sure not to use a heavy beater bar or have the vacuum on the setting closest to the ground.
3) Use a high-quality rug pad under the rug to absorb shock and reduce further damage to the pile.
4) If possible, move it to a low-traffic area."
