Done a few of these not a problem.

Vac first. Use your usual prespray for wool and use a hand tool with hwe 200 to 300 psi or what you have.

Inform customer you may not be able to remove all the bits from below the pile.

Any problem area's left, treat appropriatly

£40 to £50 or whatever you charge....not normaly more than an hour unless you are experimenting

From the wife.... It's a Rag Rug made from scraps.... Washing machine (If there was one big enough) Just be aware the fabric dislodges pretty easily so go easy on extraction.....

If all the bits of rag were soundly attached, and if all thecolours were stable, there's only one way to do that - power washer.

Otherwise, take it to the dry cleaners.  If it falls apart in their machine it's their problem ;)
