All Cotton construction. No backing., Lots of loose "threads" sticking out.
New @ Cost Plus $125

danielc said:I cleaned a rug very similar to the one in your picture. Only the one I cleaned was soaked with urine. To clean it I soaked it with a bio-enzyme and let it sit overnight. The next day I rinsed the rug thoroughly with a hose and flooded the rug and used a water-claw to extract the rug. I repeated this procedure three times then dried it with fans. Do not try to use a wand as it will not clean it as thoroughly as flooding it and extracting with a waterclaw. Nothing fancy but great results.

Throw it away, go to Cost Plus and buy a new one, give that to custy, hand them a $475 bill.
Mikey P said:The problem with this thing is that there are hundreds if not thousands of loose ends (as you can see in the 2nd pic) that will pop out of the weave if overly agitated or "sucked".
We actually put it in the commercial wet washer.
And this process can be done profitably for less than $125?danielc wrote:

I like that idea.
