How can I clean a Woollen carpet at home without causing any kind of damage?
Its an exquisite beige-coloured Persian carpet (should have gone for darker shade, I know!) with lovely patterns. Can I wash it at home? Will the colour run? What kind of washing agent should be used? If the procedure is too cumbersome then I'll think of giving to professional cleaners!
Expert advice sought!
Thanks 
I do use vaccum cleaner, buzzbe, but over a period of time it has got some dirt patches which won't go!
@ Novice: In my Home Management class I learnt that good mgmt. involves weighing three main options, namely, time, money and effort! I intend to save money by putting in my time and effort. If I can't expect good results then obviously I'll have to hire professional help

If you want to do it at home, rent a carpet cleaner (steam/water injection and vacuum). Take the rug to a clean area (patio, garage etc and just clean it with normal carpet cleaning shampoo. Go back over it when done with just clear water and no detergent. Let it dry completely (perhaps drape it over a clean bar somewhere. If not take it to a pro.

Usually I leave it simply to dry in the hot sun without washing in water.
Later heap it on the floor and beat with a cricket bat or other sticks…left and right turning.
Dust off well or better use vaccum cleaner.

Usually carpet cleaning is done by vacuum cleaner or if necessary use dry cleaning,
but if it has to be washed (dirty), there is no easy way, but to mat on earth and use the detergent and brush and to be immersed in water. Otherwise, how the water scarcity is faced by people all over the world. If a professional cleaner is nearby, the question should have been avoided.
It is easy to advise to consult a doctor for any sickness, which you are not unaware. .

use a mild soap or best is a shampoo do it w/ a hard brush and then followup w/ a clean cloth or rags and let it dry that’s all.
