Ok folks heres where your opinion becomes extremly VALUABLE we've been encapping 2 $90,000 wool rugs for about 2 years now, one rug is white with patterns the other is mixed colors with woven patterns, heres the dilemma upon till now the traffic has been relatively limited to just daily foot traffic. but my customer several months ago decided to start hosting huge parties on these rugs, so we'vr got all the stains you can possibly think of (wine,foods with color,soda ect,,,,. I've been debating weather or not to extract with luke warm water but i'm not sure which chems to use ( as you know wool has some funny reactions to water plus we've been bonneting this carpet for the duration of the contract, before we got there the previous janitorial company had been using a host like product. So guys heres where you big boys step to the plate what would you all do. i need the best knowledge you got cause I've got $90,000 reason not to mess this up?!?!?!?!?!?

I have trained people how to clean rugs for about 20 years. With that said I have never had to buy a rug. Watch your Ph. (about 8.5) Low pressure and fast drying. O yea, test your solution to make sure its not a bleeder. If so apply dye block by cti.

I always use Rick's Releasit Punch on wool even when I HWE them, does a great job. For most of the stains you mentioned I would use CTI Stain Magic for wool and Red Relief for Wool.
