They're still waiting for SGG's check for the rental

And you think changing the words in my posts is not doing the same thing, Doug? Works both ways.

Clean wall to wall the same as other carpets, except keep pH below 10 when cleaning, and leave at a slightly acidic pH of 6 when finished.Area rugs made from wool should be cleaned off-site and dryed on a drying rack where humidity is controlled.
    

Ya think so Kenny? I think you missed a few important steps. jtuseo if that was a serious question better get some better answers than that one.

Properly identify it first
Crock test it with your intended cleaners on all colours
Use the right ph
Prevacuum extensively or dust if an area rug
Stay away from enzyme based unless you know some tricks
Keep a lower Ph not over 8.5
Acid rinse
Post grooming on wool has a very positive effect
Speed dry with fans
You can pay just a little for a IICRC RCT course or the Wools of New Zealand course on the high end or the specialized courses of Lisa Wagner Certified Rug Specialist School - Dallas, TX or Aaron and Ellen's Master Rug Cleaner Program. Even the more expensive courses are less expensive than just one rug ruined.
