Title: Rug question
Post by: james roffey on December 09, 2010, 08:52:09 pm
I have today collected a couple of rugs to clean that are a type i have not encountered before they are 100%wool woven with the pattern showing through on the reverse side no hessian backing  etc.
My concern is that they are very thin and not the thick Oriental type i usually come across are these liable to buckle, sorry if this is a stupud question but thought i should cross my T's and dot my I's before i clean them in the morning.

Treat normally Jim and you'll be fine. They may curl a bit at the corners if your saturating but will drop back mate.

Many thanks  i did think they would be ok otherwise i would not have taken them but they are different from anything i have done in the past and visually one looks like one i read about before than was a shrinker so thought better safe than sorry and ask you guys.

James,

no buckling with those rugs.

You can surface clean or immersion,depending on soil load.
