Not that i have ever cleaned a Belgium Wilton, but i attended the 2 day NCCA course last Friday and Saturday and from what i was told by Paul Pearce BE VERY CAREFUL we were shown pictures of one that shrunk 3 inches off the gripper rods just from the prespray!

You have probably already cleaned a belgian wilton using HWE without even knowing.
Make sure that all the fixings are secure, if unsure get some carpet tacks and tack down every 12 " or so leaving the head proud so that you can extract once dry.
Keep the moisture to a minimum, where sofas have been just dry vac.
There is more of a risk of shrinkage than other carpets, all i can say is i have cleaned dozens without any problem using HWE.

Always check for bad fitting before you do anything then procede with care.

I always try to make sure all the work is done before I hwe. Not to heavy with prespray. Dwell, lightly prespray again followed by very thorough agitation. By the time you get the wand on, it the soil should just need gently rinsing away. Plenty of drying strokes. Lower the pressure and therefore the water flow if your machine has that facility.

and don't forget the turbos!

Have seen the shrinkage on b w that have been fitted against a patio door come away about an inch or so due to the damp from the outside.

Always try and bonnet them but give a good vac first
