Also if your rug is actually DIRTY (I've had several cats, some of whom who had really good [bad] aim with coughing up hairballs), even though you spot-cleaned over the years - you'll go through a couple of brushes. You have to go slowly, and be firm but gentle, and make sure to brush it in the correct direction the entire time.

And vacuum. And vacuum again. And clean, and dry, and vacuum some more. And brush, and clean, and dry, etc. etc. It took me two days total.

But it only cost me $5 in tools and hand-made cleaning solution. I had no plans for those two days anyway
