I need a quick fix for some slight pile direction change on a wtw wool silk blend.

We use a standard ZIPPER on rugs. However it sounds less like the tool and more of a grooming issue.

If they are careful get one of theses heads and a nice pole. With a little effort it may minimize any call backs.

Sometimes you can't "groom out" issues made by an improper, glide, airflow.
Viscose is, soft, no twist,abused,worse when wet........
They need to make a glide with even airflow across the ENTIRE Vac/Airflow slot.
A glide with a slot to get "crustsies/lint" from Baseboards does not apply for rugs, ugh!
This is also an issue with Paki Bokhara's.
Can't someone

Use a ZIPPER instead of a wand.

MEH!
If you're just "pixie" dust cleaning maybe,but the Zipper is not easier to control in this situation.
One direction working with the nap a wand is more effective.
The PMF was recommended and as I said I bought 2 glides both streaked like no other.
They weren't dang glides either.

No.bridg

? Chirp.

Hook a wand with this Glide to a well formulated extractor and voila!


Notice it's round profile and two piece design effectively removing any Bridge support they are a custom one-off option available through pmf for their Mach Wands and most likely the 802 which is a darn good wand as well.

I've told Tom Conway he should use this design on his...

Just trigger it one way and vacuum (if needed) and groom. Try it, I think you have much more control than a scrub wand using a ZIPPER.

One reason I bought the zipper like I said MEH.
I'm sure you're not washing Viscose rugs you're from

I bought what I was told was the best wand for JUST extraction.
PMF2051, 2 or 3 12"width 2" hose .
Whats the part number for this glide.
Or should I just call them? Who do I ask for?
