Just discovered this sub. Which I came here an hour ago. I decided to wash my 100% wool rug in my driveway with a hose, a brush and some Dawn. I used very little soap but I did fully saturate.

I used a squeegee to get out a good amount of water, but when I picked it up, it was quite heavy. It’s now in the shade outside, hanging to dry. It is a 6’ runner.

Did I totally ruin it? Will it smell of mold and mildew? I’m going to try to squeegee it some more now that it’s hanging. Any advice is greatly appreciated, I can’t afford a new rug right now :(
