sorted yesterday, i dont have a rug pit, need to get one, however after soaking with a mix of f90 nd enzall on both sides, leaving for a good dwell prior to hot water extraction at high pressure, (both sides) the rugs smells pretrty darn good this morning, just waiting for it to dry now........  but no discernible smell remaining.......  thanks for the chat JK!

can you buy a rug pit??  im thinking maybe of an inflatable thing that can be pumped up for use then let down after?
may ring a few of the bouncy castle manufacturers, i reckon they could easy come up with something.....

i think its the drying which is the hard part for submersible rug cleaning rather than the cleaning bit

really need a centrifugal big spinny thing  ;D
