    You can just buy a floor squeegee like the ones the professionals use to scrape the water out of the rug so it's not so heavy and wet.

    If you let carpet dry for more than day it starts to smell. I would first squeeze ass much water ass possible and then try more by putting towels around it while squeezing. Then let it out in sunny and non-humid day with some fans and hot air fans if possible. Keep them several feet away depending how powerful those heated fans are.

    The reason this can be done in Morocco is that it's hot. Really hot. Same as river washing in Iran and Afghanistan. The sun dries the rugs really quickly - DO NOT do this if it's below 30/35 degrees Celsius you will not be able to get your rug dry and it will get mould spores and possibly rot!

  • @Spooms1961

    A suggestion, I use a high quality wool wash on my wooden rug. I dilute it well. I then use a bunched up towel to ‘roll’ the mixture into the pile. I NEVER use a brush as that can pull knots out or stretch fibres as seen here where she needs to trim some. I rinse with a gentle hose, turning the rug over about two times. I gently roll the rug up to squeeze a lot of the water out before applying a dilute mixture of fabric softener, then roll it again to squeeze out a lot of the water so I can lift it easily. Then I drape it over an outdoor table to dry in the shade. This works for me.

      Because she didn't want to saturate the foundation with water. She knew she wasn't going to extract the water and she knew it would be too heavy to lift and hang dry.

    Readers; This is a good basic video, let me add to it. I have raised wool, worn wool, woven wool &tc. for longer than Kira is old, so a word from a 'wooly antique'. Whatever soap you use, Do NOT use a petroleum based product, it 'takes the life out of wool,' Kira's soap is good, but there are wool only cleaning products, NOT WOOLITE! they have changed the formula. Next, do not dilute the vinegar, it is already diluted and very weak, 10%. Use as is, or buy, if you can find it, full strength vinegar. A wash with Borax, if the rug is badly off also helps, I have a wool/cotton woven rug from the former Burma, which I have had for more than 20 years, cleaned every year this way, and I have pets, I even had our horse walk on it more than a few times, not planned, however

      Hello, I just watched this video getting a quote from a local shop for 25$ per sq foot drycleaning. Then read your comment. You seem very knowledgeable. We have a hand-woven South African carpet in deep jewel-colored stripes it Mohair wool and cotton mix 7 feet by 4.5 feet. What could you add to your comment above advising me? I am surprised the lady above did not wash the backside also. My carpet is not tufted but rather woven flat on the loom. If I use pure vinegar I would easily use a full bottle of 2L (1/2 gallon) to spray all over the surface. Thank you kindly

    Remember anytime that you apply soap you have to rain said completely by leaving the soap in the rug the soap will blend with the pee pee and you will end with the pee pee soap is this is what you're looking for don't clean Oriental rug or area rug at home
