<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9726282, member: 10944"]Thanks for all the replies guys. Sounds like it won’t be an easy battle vs. these possibly puke, possibly pee, possibly mystery stains. I’m not up for a laborious fight or expensive pro treatments. I was actually thinking the washing machine was worth a try and OBB’s mention of the same is encouraging. I too think the stains are unlikely to come out without, or even with professional help but it’s an easy enough effort. Since the rug has no collector value, which I assumed since it’s so contemporary looking, there’s nothing to lose. Despite having no collector value I think clean it would have garnered me a nice profit. The colors are just so unique to most rugs I’ve seen, south westy/tribal adjacent deigns do well for me, and it’s just so comfy and warm. I think I would have gotten an easy 100-200 out of it in a local sale. Nothing to write home about but I think it would have been a worthwhile effort. Those sales add up. Maybe I’ll just put it in one of the free groups online if the washing machine doesn’t work and let someone else tackle it. Glad a few of you got a chuckle out of it. I must have looked pretty funny pressing my chin into it to anyone in the know who was looking out the window as I walked away. It was a good sale, they pulled in over 150k and had enough great stuff left to be better than 97% of most fresh sales day one. I happened to grab one of the only crappy things there, pun intended.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
