My first question would be '' how did it get into this condition''?

More information regarding rug required... a picture would help

Removal of fugative dyes is very specialised which is why there haven't been any replies as yet

Before cleaning

Did you carry out a colour bleed test?

What are the pH values of the chemicals that you used?

Am I right in thinging that you pretreated with the Hydromist light and shampoo then rinsed with what?
