I have this rug, olefin face, cotton warp & weft, did not pit wash... but she sure did curl... it is all dry now & even curled worse yet. I was thinking of diagonal roll & reroll & crossing my fingers... any other ideas?

Warm up the rug from the back with heat gun or even a hair dryer, especially the side cords and roll under and hold till cooled back to room temp. Be careful not to get it to hot if using a heat gun polypropelene melts easily. Anthony
if the first suggestion doesn't work for you put it in the rug bath. get the rug completely wet reverse roll the ends a little to help it relax. after the rug settles down, get it on the extraction platform, extract and dry. I've done this a number of times with success.
all the best!

LOL. that is a bad curl. When this happens to us we re-wet the back of the rug and then dry upside down with a 2x4 on edge and a cinder block weighting down the 2x4. Works everytime.
good luck Con.
