 The rug i mentioned last week........ 

 label says 100% cotton made in India, its laura ashley, very flat material on the outer panel(which is virtually clean),
 more textured in the centre panel which is filthy,  ive done loads of rugs before no problem, just not sure about this one, any advice welcome!!!!     (missus says it feels like a bath mat just chuck in  the washing machine, yeah, okay duck!!!!!!

suprised at lack of advice, however, rug done, poop or bust, looking very clean indeed, stains gone, just got to dry it out which may take some time.........    i rang the client, told them of my concerns and of the potential problems with this rug, she told me to just crack on and do it, if it kills the rug im not responsible, so off i went. have to say at the moment its looking good.............
envisage a long drying out time which is where ill see any problems, but looking good at the moment.........

Not drying the rug quickly enough is where you're more likely to see problems.......

Biggest problems with these type rugs is they deferentially shrink, some areas tightening up more than other so can distort, corners turning up, etc. If using a wand without a glide, the vac tends to grab the material, making it hard work.
I only ever do these at owners risk.

i also did it at owners risk, tbh came up bloody well if i say so myself!!! pain in the arse to do though!!!
and took some drying.............

They clean fine with hwe. It will ripple and take a couple of days to totally flatten again.
