This acidic water prevent color bleeding (color running) and keeps the color to the wool. Just make sure apply the water and winger mixture to the small section of rug before applies it to the entire section. : : OK! Letˇs go! : : 刪 Make a mixture 50%-50%.

If the odor still there apply the same remedy one more time. If this time also didnˇt work contact me! : : Good Luck! : i have three large oriental rugs that were quite expensive over time the dogs we have three have urinated on them and i've always cleaned asap but sometimes i can't find it. i recently had my rugs by a profesional and when i put them back down the smell was awful. help what can i do. i can't believe my expensive rugs are completely ruined.
