Subject: Wet Cleaning Rugs and Carpets in Collections I would like to make contact with anyone who has in the last few years, or is planning to, wet clean rugs or carpets in their Collection. I am interested in any methods that differ from straightforward immersion, and any special equipment used to aid the process - however basic. I would also be interested to know if commercial facilities have been, or are being, employed.
I have been awarded a Fellowship to investigate methods of wet cleaning rugs and carpets in Collections and am seeking as much information as I can gather on current practice. All information gratefully received.
