Title: Belgian wilton rug
Post by: kinder clean on August 18, 2009, 12:52:53 pm

Got 3 rugs 1 of which is a Belgian wilton, no wool content, pattern through to the back.

I can either leave it well alone or have a go, but as it's part of a bigger job id like to attempt it if possible.

What about a very light prespray and attack it with the cimex or sebo duo ?

Any of you guys got a good method ?

Cheers

Paul

If it's a rug not a problem.

I clean loads of these with Ultrapak and they come up a treat.

I used to be worried about rippling but the more I did the more I realised so long as you tell the custy up front and that they will eventually drop down you will be fine.

Worst case scenerio is you have to put a sheet of hardboard over it for 24hrs with some weights on it.

I have an impressive wad Clinton. On inspection it can be seen to be stuffed with petrol receipts.  ::) :'(

Hi Paul

If there is no wool or cotton (are you sure?) in it you can do pretty much what you damn like to it. I would heed Mikes comments re ripping though. Other than that try to wreck it and you will struggle.
