    Dirty and thin wool runner- how would you clean it?

    Thank you for your suggestion! The peroxicap is labeled wool safe but I havent cleaned immense amounts of wool with it so yet to have a problem. But, I would prefer to air on the side of caution and will take your advice! Many thanks!

    Dirty and thin wool runner- how would you clean it?

    Thanks so much for your suggestion! I'm not sure if the backing is jute but either way I'm going to use minimal water.. either one earth prespray with cold water or peroxicap with warm water. And extract at 200psi as you suggested. We'll see how it goes!

    Dirty and thin wool runner- how would you clean it?

    I am thinking of misting on a wool safe fine fabric pre spray, then using a hand bonnet on the edges, and rinsing with the saphire upholstery hand tool. Do you think this is best? I fear of overwetting otherwise. How would you tackle this? Many thanks!
