Gentle with the agitation and acidic rinse, the backing will be ok cos it shouldn't get wet
Happy cleaning

be warned habitat rugs sometimes have viscos in them aways check lable , nearly been caught-out couple times , just be very very carefull , more and more rugs especially the designer ones are appering with mixed fibers like viscos ,

What would the best course of action be if it does have viscose in?

As you know viscose is weak when wet and can change texture. I would dri - vac then spray dri -clean solvent, then brush in. Wipe over with towels then final vac. Results aren't as good as HWE but then you don't own the rug.
good luck..

I checked the label did not mention viscose. It does say dont use optical brightners on it...
I am going to vac, pre-spray prochem natural carpet solution and rinse. then fan dry asap. I will go easy on the water.
cheers
