You can wash the Jute out if you really want to. I own a professional drying service like a Service Master and we have done things like this before.

Take the carpet out, flush it real well with fresh water like from a city water source (not well water) with a garden hose. Flush it out for 10-15 minutes, and get something heavy to roll the excess water out of it. Then get some commmercial air movers and blow dry it. It should take a day or two for it to dry. After its dry, we usually go back with some good prespray and clean it with our van mounted machine.

This is how we clean thick old Tebetan, Kermiths and Karastan rugs.

9 out of 10 times it has too much iron or other minerals that give us funny results like smells and causing stuff to brown out on us. Now we use RO water for 90% of everything. Its more pure with less impurity particles in it.
