Depends upon testing.  The silk may be you biggest challange.

If your not sure pass it one to someone who has experience in this field.

Cashmere is the soft wool, so a rug made from this will be all wool or as the percentage on the label.

Kashmir Rugs can be made from cashmere wool, or silk or even rayon.

Is it a flat weave or with a pile? Might have a painted border which can bleed......................

If you don't know what you are doing, walk and get some training for this type of work.

Oriental rugs can be a different kettle of fish to our everyday rugs.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

Simon
the rule of thumb for pricing on this quality rug is 10%  of the rug value for a clean.
owevr £1300 would have been a bit high.
Would charge £700 . ;)
