Most of the work on it probably needs to be done with the rug face-down.  Hopefully you've got a good machine to back-dust because it'll spit all sorts of stuff out at you, probably bits of Lego in there, maybe a pair of false teeth or even the customer's long lost Aunt who came round last Christmas!

A combination of back-dusting and vigorous shaking whilst face-down will get the majority of the crud out of it, then to vac the face pile I would use a cylinder vac with upholstery tool, alternating between steady slow strokes and vigorous back & forth ones to flick up the rest of the debris.

Then pre-spray, extract , groom and blow it dry as usual

Honestly, some of your posts crack me up!

I first vacuum as best as possible, both sides.

Then it's up on my tower, then use the air compressor with a small nozzle to blow the crud out prior to soaking, scrub, rinse and extract, then back up on the tower to dry.

Pull down when dry, groom, roll-up, tie and deliver.

I have a real #^%$$ of a rug, 10 x 8 foot, heavy as when dry, very testing when wet.

I've done it three times now for an elderly, incontinent couple. 

NO MORE !!!
