Shop Loose & Shaggy Rugs for Sale in South Africa

Shaggy rugs are becoming increasingly trendy because of their luxurious look and feel paired with their versatility to be used in any room in the house. Also known as shaggy rugs, these rugs are inherently known for their longer pile, which makes them look fluffy and shaggy.

These loose rugs are made from synthetic fibres, making them perfect for use in high-traffic areas. The synthetic fibres also mean that they are easier to clean, with some shaggy carpets being machine-washable and those made from natural fibres can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.

However, even though this sounds easy enough, shaggy carpets need a significant amount of cleaning. While vacuum cleaners are ideal, spills on these carpets can stain if they are not washed immediately after an incident.

Luckily, there is a wide range of shaggy rugs for sale, making it possible to choose the right rug according to the function of each room, which will save you a lot on maintenance.

Flokati Rugs

These are a type of handmade wool rug which originate from Greece. These shaggy carpets are traditionally white or cream, but they come in a wide variety of colours in modern times.

Shaggy Wool Rugs

There are two different main types of wool shaggy rugs namely noodles and shaggy. Where noodle shaggy rugs are concerned, their wool fibres resemble the shape of noodles. This unique feature makes them feel extremely soft and luxurious. However, this texture tends to attract a significant number of particles such as hair, dust, dirt, etc. that tend to stick to the fibres, making these rugs ideal for low-traffic areas.

The shaggy type of wool rug features thinner fibres that are closer together, which makes them just as soft but easier to maintain.

Leather Shaggy Rugs

These rugs are also not pet friendly and they are more suited to low-traffic areas in the home to ensure that they remain clean.
