Wilton Rug Washing

[Harry Myers]

Here is a Wilton wool woven rug I washed today. Extremely dirty. I made this rug years ago . Actually there daughter gave her folks this rug . They called me up to clean it for them . Lol I was like this is my work. Anyway the rug is cleaner than clean . Cleaned it with 45 gaRinsed with like 200 gallons of water along with a nice glacial acedic acid rinse.

"Drying floor"? Elevated? Air movement from below and above? Did you secure the edges to prevent shrinkage during the drying process? thanks for the thread!

I would like to see a pic of you drying it if you have any of that.

Thanks

I could not help but notice the blog section. LOL. This is a perfect example of it was done and it can be done with no problems. But im experienced with these fibres for over 25 years. i know what to do with what and what I can expect. However I do understand Im not pushing a cleaning method . It can be dangerous to someone else.

Steve no shrinkage at all. It is in perfect shape. I' ll post it cleaned. Yes an elevated drying floor.
