Those answers will determine how you clean it.
It has a burlap backing. The label says 100% polyester Pile hand hook.
The backing is really tough, because that means it can’t really be washed. But you can probably use an extractor, either a home one you can rent from Home Depot or giant or one on a truck you can hire like Stanley Steemer.
Thank you.

How do you clean a 8' x 10' rug? It's a yellow rug. There aren't any stains but it's looking dirty.
