She just looked confused. I remember my mom had a plastic rake for the shag we had in the house when I was a kid. I don't remember how she vacuumed it tho. <br>Did anyone else's shag shed and shed and shed the first bit when they got it? Mine is moulting I think. Maybe I shouldn't have bought it in summer. Shedding season and all....Robinhttp://isthistjhingon.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369493130283425436.post-31109608978897906692009-07-09T16:52:44.000-06:002009-07-09T16:52:44.000-06:00Sadly, I've vacuumed that thing once a week fo...Sadly, I've vacuumed that thing once a week for the past 6 weeks -- but just with the attachment I use for the laminate. It basically clogged the hose with "fur" from the rug.<br><br>That's what I've always loved about that carpet. It can be a complete mess and you can't really notice it, unlike more sanitary things like hardwood or lino.<br><br>It's been 2 years since the flood when the kids lived in the living room and I have pictures of them eating apples and yogurt tubes and all the rest on there.

It's about how anal I am about certain things: cleaning windows/mirrors, vacuuming, wiping down the shower walls, ironing wrinkles out of shirts and pillowcases...<br><br>It's just that once I get started on those things, I can't stop. And they must be as perfect as I can make them.
