how does the product do in the laundry when rugs need to be washed?

When my wife washes the throw rugs most of the product washes off. As soon as the rug is dry she puts another coating on and she is back to "square one" perfect.

It still works, but it's not as "good" as it is before it's washed. I'd say it loses about 10-15% of the adhesion.

The coating does not survive washing. Works great on things that do not need to be washed!

We have a tumble washer & it washed up nice in it! It doesn't have to be dry cleaned. 8-)

I've only used it on flooded carpet. It worked great on that, but it leaves the kind of smell that you associate with cleaners--not bad, but definitely that kind of smell. You'd have to wash the clothes in a "normal" detergent afterwards, etc. to get rid of it.

I have not used it on rugs but it does not suction up anything, I think you are looking for the bissell spotbot.

I've been using this for a long time and it has removed every stain with only one washing. However the stain comes out in the wash. I don't know how you could duplicate a wash cycle on carpet. Perhaps you could put some on the carpet, let it sit for a few minutes and then go over it with a carpet cleaner. It's worth a try.

I throw mine in washer with towels & cleaning rags. I dry flat instead of using dryer.

I have several area rugs and the vacuum cleans them well and does not "over-suck" them and get caught in the rollers. If you are talking bath mats style lightweight mats - I haven't the experience.

I've had mine in use for 8 months and I've just vacuumed it a few times and occasional going over with damp sponge. It has worked so far but I don't think I would be afraid of putting it in the washing machine.

I have washed mine in the machine, but I had to go to laundry mat it required a huge washer because it is so big.

It has a function like a vaccum cleaner. Carpet is damp after. But it doesn't take long to dry.

I usually just rinse it out by hand unless the floor is really dirty, then I machine wash w/ regular load. Don't put in the dryer. It is a great dry & wet mop. Great for cat hair & getting cob webs off walls.

Yes ! I use it all the time. The only problem I have had is, if the rug is too light weight. I use it on most area rugs too, just move it faster when you get near the edge until its off the rug.

two was I would suggest either like some type of liquid soap and a scrub brush and then hose down- will take a little to dry but not long if leave out in sun. that's probably best to get a more deep cleaning. On a week to week basis I just use sweeper I use in my home and just take off brush attachment and sweep the rug.

Yes, you add water for the wash, add clothes and soap, run the wash cycle, drain, add water for the rinse, run through the wash cycle again without soap, drain. Take the clothes out of washer, squeeze a bit, put them into the spin section and run. The clothes are very clean and get as dry as they would from a regular washer spin cycle. Much easier for me than washing by hand. Tip: you only need a very small amount of soap, Even a little too much soap and you'll probably have to rinse several times.

I have used this product to clean all kinds of carpet spots with great success. I'm not sure about a wool rug but I think it wold be fine to clean a spot and let it dry without using any heat. Any heated drying would likely shrink the fabric. I would try a small spot--spray on the Advanage, rub a bit, rinse , and blot with a towel.

Test it first on some crap clothes - but not in the washing machine. The Oil Eater may damage it. I tried Oil Eater on an oil stain on some outdoor carpet, and it cleaned the oil great, but took out some of the color of the carpet.

I personally hand wash my bathroom rug and let it drip dry. I never put it in the washing machine, due to the fact that I did that with a similar rug and the wash machine ate it! Yikes! I hope this helps you.
