In your experience what is the best tool to clean woven, wool area carpets.
I am talking about expensive wool area carpets that are cut and bound like a rug. Any excessive water may cause warping and or shrinkage. Too much scrubbing may potentially fuzz the wool.
I frequently hot water extract clean it, with very low pressure, wet clean pass on the pull only, many dry passes, controlling and removing moisture on over laps both on side and front + fan. Works well, still somewhat risky. Also can be done in plant- Costly.

- So which is the VLM machine that will cause the least amount of fuzzing in wool?
- Which product do you use? Is it Wool Safe?
- Long term soil loading?
- How do you deal with binding (shows substantially more wear in high use areas, does not clean as well, may shrink and cause warping and corners to curl.)
