Usually I send my rugs off to be washed and reproofed unless they are small eg coolers. However I've managed to fit a double duvet in my new washing machine so would like to wash as many of my rugs myself where possible to save money. (I'm going to try and cram a 500g stable rug in tonight!!)
I'm wondering if it would be worth washing my turn out myself and using some of that Nikwax stuff in the wash, however has/ does anyone do this and if so is it as reliable a method as paying someone to do it? The last thing I want is to try it myself and it not be as effective and the rug leak. Any tips for wash/ temperature/ spin settings from those who've had success?
