Keep neutral with cleaning agents , good pre vac , prespray well agitated then rinse, set pile.
Qualify with client results expected, they clean up well if not too minging , stains are particularly hard to remove if at all and I dont use reducing or oxy stain removers on them .It maybe just me but find the dyes react badly to such products, too risky

I always take rugs away for cleaning is it a genuine one

Thx for replies. How about sebo /powder/ sponges? Still to risky?

Are you cleaning on site or off site?
Does it have a frindge?

I do a lot of these, often taking them off site but I have done some (even big ones) on site since I got my RX20.  I mention this as three issues spring to mind:

Deep cleaning such a thick dense pile
Cleaning the edges properly
Drying - VERY important whether done on site or take away.

The fringe issue shouldn't be ignored either.

I also take off site when possible - much to my wifes delight.

Same as Mike .if you did Ashby's course i presume you use their products  I would prespray with their shampoo and clean with their fabric safe powder and finish it by spraying it with Finish.

Always do off site can take a while to fully dry especially the thick oriental wool ones. i always keep ph neutral with these as said stains dont always come out but clean up well

You can still do onsite depending on your facilities and the customers needs. I have cleaned them with everything from MS to Ultrapac, just test first. Rinsing is best done with a hand tool to get in deeper and leave drier in the case of a porty. Fringes I have cleaned with various ph neutral detergents, followed by rinsing and ideally left acetic acid in to help prevent browning. Drying has never been a problem either way just advise the customer to leave heat on if onsite.
