It's not all rippled, just the edge binding that was likely NOT pre-shrunk.Would you clean again and then block while wet?
A bad joke born out of frustration Fred, although if taken off-site it could be part of the blocking process.Staples
Not sure this is going to be easy to block, as the center of the rug needs to grow enough to get the edges flat, while not putting more stress on those edges. If there is someone in the area that has some experience with blocking, it might be worth letting them handle it.Is there A Thread here that explains the blocking procedure?
This rug is 8.5 x 11.5

It looks like that one ripple is from them hanging it to dry.*like these dudes
I talked to Buzz this afternoon. Sent him the picture and waiting for his responseBoston? It would be worth your time to meet the folks at BonTon in Watertown. Great people, great resource.
Not on that floor, but the first thing I would try is to get it wet all the way through for about a foot all the way around. Let it soak in. Then extract toward the edge, not along it. See if it relaxes. You can always try something more complex if that doesn't work.What would you try first?
Could be, I've hand stretched worse than what they show from ones rippled in my drive.It looks like that one ripple is from them hanging it to dry.
I would bet in a few weeks it will settle down. I had a very similar situation
On a 2 to 4”bar...It looks like that one ripple is from them hanging it to dry.
Bon Ton blocked the rug for half what I charged to clean and it laid flatI think Fred’s just an idiot who shouldn’t be cleaning rugs
