Be careful some of these are the ones where the latex breaks down during cleaning and stink to high heaven. It is not reversable either.

Any photos? I would clean a very small area and see if it starts smelling. If it doesn't then a normal clean will do it, good vac, pre-spray, agitate, dwell and extract.
Warn them about the odour problem first because even that small area will be pungent.

Just to add to your worries some tufts have a habit of coming loose and lifting.  ::)
