      Asking according to the comments. Will a carpet shampooer not work?

        Warm day/hose/dawn dish washing liquid/ roll/ spray concrete u set rug on/ invert/ and spray other side with dawn. Repeat if necessary. Let air dry.

        If you can hang /better.

          I power wash & dry on the deck rail, finish flat on the deck

            My husband placed ours on the driveway and used a carpet shampooer on it. It dried in a couple of hours.

              I use a rug cleaning service. Once or twice a year is worth it!

                These rugs can be incredibly heavy when wet. Be prepared for that. We washed one of ours in the bathtub/shower, and it was a nightmare due to the weight.

                washing out doors with a power washer works well but drying it over a fence or line of some sort can cause semi permanent creasing at the fold.

                You have to move it around a fair amount.

                  I use my carpet cleaner & an organic enzymatic cleaner on an 8’x10’ wool area rug. I also use it on poly area rugs placed on carpeting in the bedrooms.

                  I usually open windows, turn on the ceiling fans & sometimes use box fans, but there really isn’t much wetness after going over a few times extracting liquid with the carpet cleaner.

                    Best if you have a clothes line. I take mine out & hose down, scrub brush with Dawn, rinse good & line dry. Once it gets mostly dry I lay flat so it doesn’t kink.
