Hello.
Today i bought this nice Ghom.

But it is drawn. The rug now do have a fold but only on one side. Is a washer able to pull the rug and clear this fold? Somebody with experience?

Thank you,
Chris

Hi Chris
I don't think so myself but might be possible. try at this site:
http://www.therughub.com...in/forum/Blah.pl?b-777/
They are rug cleaners and knowledgeable in oriental rugs.
They might recommend someone in your area.

This is a common problem that is often able to be resolved through blocking, a process where the rug is wet down and then slowly and carefully stretched to have its shape returned to normal. Take the rug to a pro to have this done.

Chris did you ask at the site I put up? Some have been in oriental rug cleaning business many years and may help. David here has posted
over there and Nathan K. Very knowledgeable in cleaning and stain removal. Any rug can be blocked but it might not fix the problem, I think
they might have contacts for you in Germany.
