Bill, price wise it is so small you should just charge whatever your minimum is.  Each to their own but £35 is just way to cheep and not worth taking on.  By the time you go to pick it up, bring it home to clean it and then take it back I wouldnt do it for less than £100.

Anyway, Kilims are a bit of a pig to clean results wise.  I say this as they just dont clean that well. 

They are usually multi-coloured and all out of shape.  Not as bad as a needle point but still out of shape.  Chances are you will change the shape again but this is normal and not worth worrying about.

They are such a short flat weave  that you should be able to remove all dry soil by air or beating or however you de-dust your rugs.

They will take flooding so clean it that way and you should be fine.

Best, Dave.

Bill, I have no idea what one clean is but if it is for wool then it will be fine.

Best, Dave.
