Don't use shampoo, use the REAL poo.

I just had mine done a few weeks ago, no problems. Unless your rug cleaner machine is different than the one they used on mine, you shouldn't have a problem.

No problems, these day they do not use any poisons. Check with the contractor though if he will be applying an anty spot treatment like ScotchGuar or something, that might have some chemicals the could be a problem but just cleaning will be no issue.
