Did a job today. It was a Pakistan wool rug. The lady bought it from a big store ( not a rug specialist). The advice she was given was......" because its a handmade rug dont use water on it at all, not even a wipe up of a spill, and certainly dont have it wet cleaned as it will disintegrate!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ". Does the shop know something I been missing over the last 11yrs of cleaning rugs ???????????? lol

Ever seen this on a suite
"Do not wet clean, do not dry clean call Service master"?
How do they clean? ???

Mark, we clean with Wizard's spells and fairy dust ;)
Chris, if it's a genuine hand knotted Pakistani rug, it could be a Peshawar, in which case it will be tea-washed. Cleaning is almost certain to lighten it to some degree, especially strong spotters in localised areas.
Disintegrate?? Funny :)
Does it look like any of these?

Chris,
How did you clean it ? ;D
Bad advise from a big store.
If the same advise would of come from a rug specialist shop[not all of them] there could be some
underlying problems covered up with a tea-wash or painted as Jim stated.
Disintegrate ;D
Sounds like the shop knows very little.
You should pay them a visit,and educate them with your 11 years experince.

It was about 6 X 4 very dark reds with a short fringe. Wasnt very dirty so probably wont see that much difference. They payed £400 about 6yrs ago.
