How to clean this?

This rug was in a puff back - it is really white! I already vacuumed it like crazy and will wash tomorrow. Any ideas?

Lisa will be able to give a more exact reply, but I do not think this rug is worht the cost you would need to charge to be worth the effort.

I was going to clean the rug, I would consider just putting it in a commercial sized clothes washer if it fits. (Hard to tell the size of a rug in a photos.) Pretreat with Unsmoke's SMoke Wash and let it soak in that for a couple hours before laundering.

Too big for that - haven't measured it yet but its about a 9X10 or bigger.

Well - here are the results. There are still some faint lines (can't see them in the pic) but overall about 90-95% out. I flood washed it on the floor with X-tol.

Hey Bob - sorry about the delay ... I love Xtol - good choice.

Hi everybody. Nice job rugman. I just found this thread. Just a heads up about X-TOL. It is now manufactured by Superior Flux in Cleveland, Ohio. They are expanding the whole Carolyn line. X-TOL also now ships as non-hazardous, as it should have previously. Superior Flux is marketing X-TOL, the Carolyn carpet product line and their expanded products under the brand name Carpet Chem. Superior Flux can be reached at 440-349-3000 or X-TOL is available at the carpetchem website.

Thanks. CCG
