Hi Sergio I am not sure why you would use such harsh chemicals on hand knotted rugs.
The only purpose I can see for it is to age rugs and make them look older and therefore antique. Which in turn may increase value.
I am not sure what if any value there is in treating wool in this way. It may brighten initially but when dry would look faded.

It's a long time since I'm looking for information online to make the wool brighter during the wash operation. I have read that the most used chemical products in europe are these?

I can't see a use for something like that on any wool carpet. I find it hard to believe they are the most used cleaning agents for rug cleaning in Europe.

I may be wrong of course but I certainly wouldn't use them in my process. Other than a small amount for stain removal below 6%

High pH is detrimental to wool. As a pro you should not be damaging your customers furnishings.  Prochem prespray gold is very good at brightening wool dyes if that is not enough to meet your requirements then try spraying a bit of fabric restorer as the solvents in the react really well with a lot of dyes.
