I did my own. I got a 3x5' Pakistani hand-knotted wool rug in 1985, and finally got around to cleaning it properly just last year for the first time. It was a pain to clean, and definitely a process. It isn't 100% clean even still, I know if I had it done professionally it would be better. But it's a whole lot better than it was.
In hindsight I probably would've priced it out and gotten it done professionally. I still might, in another 5 years or so.
