Lots of good advise.

My 2 cents is to make sure you dry it fast with a airmover. The Studebaker airpath dryer is amazing. Lots of good reports on it.

Is it wool berber or wool cut pile?  Berbers are fun.

How old is it?  Aged wool also fun.

Has it been cleaned before?  What did they use?

If it's loose stretch it before you clean it.  Be careful with the seams.

Pull up a corner see what kind of pad and backing it has.  Could be Jute backing, not good when wet.

Any animals in the home?  Animals and wool bad juju.

Did you test the fiber yourself or are you going on their word?  Not a bad idea to test for yourself.

Wool can hide a lot of dirt.  If if looks dirty, it's real dirty.  What you don't get out will wick up. So clean it well.

Last and not least, What are you charging?  Specialty carpets mean specialty prices, not plastic prices.  CHARGE WELL!

Depending on what the going rate for your location charge at least 50% more.  If you are at 30 cents charge 45 etc.  Be carefull.
