Run, don't walk.

In your previous post you outlined that these rugs had previously been cleaned 15 years ago and they returned misshapen. That means the rugs were not dried properly and the warp and/or weft fibers have shrunk. Also the photo above looks like there is damage to the backing.

There are also tough stains on these wool rugs that have likely set up for quite some time. Rugs with spots like you're describing would need to have the spots treated with wool spotting products such as CTI's Stain Magic for wool, and Red Relief for wool. It also would likely need to be cleaned with a submersion method.

These rugs truly sounds like a problem waiting to happen. It sounds like it could turn into an insurance claim if you ask me. I would pass on this job, unless you're extremely knowledgeable about rugs and have the expertise to pull it off. Better safe than sorry. That's just my 2 cents, perhaps someone else will have a different take on it.
