    Soak it in cold water with a small amount of Woolite. Rinse well with cold water. Gently squeeze excess water out, then roll it up in a thick towel and squeeze it a little more. Do not wring it out. If your dryer has an "air dry" cycle, use that to dry it. Otherwise, let it line dry, then fluff it up as much as possible.

    You can get Woolite at Dollar General a lot cheaper than anywhere else.

    Take it back. It wasn’t done right to start with! Sounds like you got it there just before they changed the chemicals!!

    Rug cleaning is a specialty business most dry cleaners are not competent at cleaning rugs

    You could take it back to the dry cleaner or take it to a specialized rug cleaning operation

    There are some fleece type rugs for example, Greek Flocatti rugs that become matted from inappropriate cleaning processes and poor post cleaning grooming
