How can I clean a 10' diameter rag rug?

Handmade rag rug, about 40 or 50 years old. It has gotten very dirty over the years and also has smoke smell in it. Any ideas how to clean it or what type of establishment would clean it? Thanks!

    Rag Rugs are usually pretty durable, so take it to your local laundromat that has a large capacity washer (some are double loads and some even have quadruple load washers) and throw it in with some regular laundry detergent on cold.

    I would spin it as dry as you can in the machine and then take it home and let it air dry. It could shrink if you throw it in the dryer.

    It should wash up very well.
