Jute???????

Jute has not been used for sometime.  Check the stability of the jute. It it crackles just be a little more cautious.  Use a little water as possible keep the ph down attempt to speed dry to avoid  browning as jute is a natural fiber.  If you have a rack clean the rug turn it over to dry with the face down this will allow the jut to wick into itself and not to the surface of the carpet. The braided rugs should not be a problem are they ovals and are the reversable. Be carful as braided rugs should be handeled with care when wet.  I have probably confused you by now.  Maybe one of the experts on the board will be more assistance to you.

The only safe advice in my opinion is to use a dry compound like host.

Jute shrinks and bleeds brown very easily. It will also dry splotchy sometimes if cleaning solution is not applied evenly.

Grab a 5 gallon pail of water, about a pound of Tide, a good scrub brush(Stiffer the better) and your shop vac and your all set up.

Of course, I don't get much repeat business and I've got a mound of lawsuits pending.

No Willy, if that's how you clean jute, you need to hide

I would, if he had one of my jute area carpets

look on the bright side...if you screw up a jute back, you can always buy it from the customer and roll it up and smoke it...it'll be less expensive than the going rate on the streets these days...LOL

Only if has been in a sewer backup???
