Stiffies

[roro]

How do you get rid of them.

Keep it seemly guys I am asking about silk rugs - they always seem to dry with a considerably harsher hand than any other rug type we have cleaned. I saw larry comments about a silk softener - who sells it, and how effective is it?

Any other methods?

Carding brush.... Tumble dusting..... I've never tried a liquid to soften a silk rug before.....

You start a thread with the word stiffie and expect this crowd to behave?

Hell, I was afraid to click on it.

Thought it might be a bag of diks or a picture of Marty.

I'm truly not sure which is more horrifying.

Desk Jockey and Admiral will be along shortly poking at each other.

Uhhh yeah...can we leave the phrase "poking at each other" out of a thread about "stiffies".

Plenty of brushing is the usual procedure.

Paul Lucas at Chem Max sells a silk softener that I have heard great things about. Never used it myself.

Downy?

Bullsheeeet.... You were most likely eager to click as fast as you could.


In my opinion brushing is the way to get silk back to soft....but I also noticed that it pretty much never goes back to the original look and feel.

and your point would be?

That, dear readers, is a "distinction without a difference."

Hahahahahaha!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Not true sMarty is much more shocking.

 

[Old Coastie]

Oh, so now you are sure all of a sudden?

That's great! Send $10 for the dadgum good therapy!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Thanks.
dannys been trying to call me for the past 15 minutes!

 

[Cleanworks]

final rinse, whether by hand or rug washer should be slightly acidic, maybe around 5.5-6Ph. Usually leaves the silk, silky soft.

Compressed air.

 

[hogjowl]

Compressed air.

[Desk Jockey]

[Mikey P]
