No offense (really, i'm not being mean here) but why would you not use a grate and on top of that why would you air dust and them flip the rug over and air dust again? the rug is re-collecting the dirt and dust and the dust is not being collected.
Air dusting Rugs?! No Badger OR Wolverine

Yes we flip them two or three times then follow with vacuuming
well the main reason you don't use a great is it would push the dust deeper into the rug the air hunt hits the solid surface blowing the dust forward with a grate it just pushes it deeper down

Never had a problem with odor, but I flood 95% of them afterwards anyway and odors don't transmit after that. The blower method is a 98% effective dry soil removal method, it spanks the crap outta any other method I've used. You couldn't give me a one trick pony rug badger.
Never thought about a gas powered leaf blower connected to a wand and floor it.
Wow I cant wait to try this

Hang the rug and put the blower nozzle right up to the rug backing, no wand.... Let it flow through the back of the rug into the air. Vacuum first and then try this, you will be shocked. Do it with 4 o'clock sun for the best effect in your video.

The MacGyver of carpet cleaning is now the Larry the Cable Guy
Dude really think of the repercussions of one that drop of 2 stroke gas on a high-end tapestry
Wow
I've been doing this for a long time and have a great deal of experience with Oriental rugs the very thought of running gas anywhere close to one gives me the shivers of unprofessionalism
Maybe your customers don't care
but mine know that I caret enough they'll actually mail me rugs from other states to have them cleaned
Justified if you want do whatever you like dude
It's hard to call it professional or proper

Two-stroke smoke goes everywhere lol
You're just trying to justify something unjustifiable lol
It's just like when people argue that a Crb is not a good tool lol
The fact is they can't afford the right tool
Why don't you just scrub them down with black stripper pads and call it a day

How far does my TM exhaust have to be from a rug when I in plant clean one? Do I have to watch the wind? Are you selling wind socks too?
