Sue Collins on Jan 26, 2015I agree! Many of these, if not all, contain silk, and colors could fade or run. Although durable, they are fragile, and should be professionaly cleaned.Helpful Reply

Richard Perry on Aug 29, 2015I picked up a beautiful wool handmade Chinese rug on the side of the road. It had pet staines on it. Irolled it out onto my concrete driveway. I mixed up oxyclean and a large bucket of warm water and poured it all over the rug. I let it sit for an hour then rinsed it off with the water from my garden hose. Be sure to rinse it well. Then had my son help me hang it over my fence with the backside up. Turned out like new. No bleeding of colors at all. it took several days to drip dry. They wash wool handmade rugs in the rivers in foreign countries after making them. Sad thing is my cousin talked me out of it for her house. Well had several others anyway.Helpful Reply
