[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just rent a rug doctor (I actually heard the Bessel green machine was better) and DYI? Use a little soap and water. [/quote] This works, as long as you manage to only get the top of the rug wet (not hard to do, just move relatively quickly). Assuming a rug pad and good ventilation you can do this without hurting your floors and it will remove a lot of dirt from the top of the rug. But if you send the rug out to be washed, they’ll get it fully wet and soapy and then rinse it. It’s just a deeper, more thorough cleaning. They have giant spinning tubes to remove most of the water and then they hang them to dry in rooms with big fans for several days. With a small rug, you can maybe replicate that at a car wash. But wet rugs are super, super heavy and without the spinner you have to wait forever for them to dry. [/quote]
