Carpet is my friend’s - I suggested a reputable pro, but she doesn’t want to spend the ducats. Would rather have me do it.
Wool carpet in great shape, regularly vacuumed, but this is first time it needs to be cleaned with machine ...
Try sprinkling a couple of boxes of baking soda over the carpet. gently sweep the soda into the carpet, then vacuum it up after letting it sit for a couple of hours without walking on it. The other trick would be use what one would use on a fine cashmere garment, minus water ... ever smell wet sheep?
Oh, s**t! You're getting married? Congrats!
