Forcotchi rug?

[Newman]

A valued customer called and asked if I clean forcotchi rugs. I do have a small rug room in my shop and do many area rugs but this term is not familiar. Google could not even come up with 1 result. Forcotchi sounds more like somthing you order at an Italian resturant or a Starbucks drink.

Did I spell it right?

What is forcotchi?

What are they made of?

Where are they from?

How do you clean them?

Easy to clean.
Use a cleaning product that is wool safe.

Do not agitate as they shed like crazy. They will shed plenty no matter what. So be prepared to vacuum your shop after.
And that may be a good thing since no self respecting carpet cleaner ever vacuums their own place unless they absolutely have to. Ever!

Let the rug drain completely before hanging to dry as it absorbs a lot of moisture and will stretch a lot.
Good luck

Holed GG on your wand will help too.... if you don't have a glide on it, do yourself a favour and clean your wand, including inside the lips BEFORE you clean the rug.

Don't ask how I know that
