Rug Doctor has a foam/suds suppressant liquid to be used with their machines, they sell it at supermarkets. In your case it might require way more than they recommend used in a shopvac. Maybe calling a carpet cleaning company? Good luck! | ||

 Yes, I would look for a rug cleaning company. Tell them what you have on the rug, I'm sure they won't blink an eye as they've likely seen it all. They'll have the capability to flush the detergent out properly.
My first instinct would be to hose it out, but being still in the throes of winter, that's going to be difficult.
Wool is durable enough to withstand the cleaning effort, but since it's detergent, you should get it out ASAP so none of the dyes will bleed or fade. | ||

Wow. I wonder whether you might not want to call the manufacturer? They might have an idea. If its impractical to take the rug somewhere in the current weather, perhaps there is some sort of material which might be sprinkled on it to absorb a lot of it? Would placing the carpet above a container and letting it drip through help? Seems to me as if the more you can remove, the smaller the problem will be. | ||

Would recommend Using these guys. They have a patented system, it looks so cool. Would recommend sparing the 9mins for the video and a coffee. Shows it for an oriental rug, but will work with any. This will properly flush out all soap. | ||

Washerboy posted this in another threat, I'm assuming it goes here? Something glitched somewhere me thinks.
use fabric softner washerboy's profile picture before you start with the water hose...rub the area down well with liquid fabric softner...it will break down the soap bubbles. Same thing happen to me, except is was the cargo mat in the back of my suv...love Dawn...but it can make some suds. A friend told me about the fabric softner trick..it worked well. | ||
