The time comes, so you do some research and begin calling rug cleaners in Austin. You don’t really know what to ask, so the only thing you can think of is price.

Price is important, but it’s important to remember there are other, more important things you may not even know to ask. Is your rug worth cleaning?

A machine-made them in about 5 minutes and they are considered “disposable” in the industry. The same applies to “Viscose” rugs. None of these hold up as well as wool over time.
