Cleaning wool oriental rugs requires a delicate approach. Start by gently vacuuming to remove dirt. Use a mild, wool-safe detergent mixed with cold water, avoiding hot water, which can damage the fibers. Test any solution on a small, hidden area first. When cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth, not a wand, to prevent damaging the fibers. After cleaning, avoid wringing the rug—just let it air dry flat to prevent shrinkage or distortion.

In the middle east the put the rugs out on the street so people can walk and drive on them...so they can have that cool worn out look.
Hammy you are right ...you should know what it is.....but as long as your careful does it really matter???
do a burn test on the custys rug..LOL
always do a pre-qualification before you take the rug....so at least you can give the customer an Idea of whats going to come out.
if I see pee..I always tell them NO that aint comin out

It dont matter if you cant figure out where it came from you do a bleed test..
I should know better? what u mean? If it cleaned well and didnt bleed and dried fast he did well.. its not as difficult as some of you make it..

Nice to here everything worked out for you.
Next time maybe you should consider educatding your self some more before taking on a job that you are not confident about.
Steamer gave some good info on cleaning area rugs......................unfortunatley you haven't learned about crocking,bleeding, or identifying the type of rug you where cleaning.
Everybody wants to be a professional cleaner in front of the client.
You just got lucky this time!
