9'x12' Persian rug. It has only been cleaned with: A Hoover 28, 69 Convertible, and 2 different Dial-A-Matics. Stored for years, I had it professionally cleaned last year. It's still wrapped up. I'm hoping to sell it.
I have 3 Karastans. I bought them new. They, too, have only been "Hoover vacuum-cleaned". They're all still perfect. No surprises there. |

A lot of professional rug cleaners (as a step in wet cleaning) turn the rug upside down on a clean smooth surface and vacuum from the back side. You want a vacuum that beats and vibrates the carpet to shake the dirt from the base off onto the floor. After carefully folding the rug back onto itself, vacuum the floor with a suction only head, and then you can easily vacuum the rug from the top-side with a gentle vacuum if you wish. Of course this is a step in rug washing and may be useful for you to consider even though you are only dry cleaning as it were. It is very difficult to really clean all the dirt from the top like you're talking about, and if you have a space to do it, turning it upside down helps break loose impacted dirt and debris. Fitted, wall to wall carpets can't be cleaned this way, which make them the real problem, rugs are far easier to thoroughly clean because you can flip them. Hope this helps.
