*Message was: Try contacting dealers in antique rugs in your area(2-3 at least,opinions and biases vary substantially)and see who they use locally.An experienced cleaner can remove most color runs and can clean your rugs without causing additional problems.Ask to visit the cleaning plant that will do the work.You can tell a lot by how the place looks and how your questions are answered-or not. Good luck,Robert Mann : I have 3 semi-antique (circa 1930) hand-knotted Persian rugs - the colours (vegetable-died) have run in some spots. : I would like to have these cleaned professionally but do not know what the risks are and how to find reputable cleaners (or cleaners that know what they are doing!) : Any ideas? : Thanks! : Holly
