If damaged, repair before cleaning. Quote repair costs before cleaning.
If the core of the braid is made of paper, the paper will buckle and may bleed into the face fibers when wet cleaned. Get a written release before cleaning.
If cores are paper, low moisture clean with an upholstery tool. Do not get the paper wet.
Check for color fastness. High potential for bleeding.
Note on paperwork if rug does not lay flat.
