- Last week you may remember my tale of the viscose lounge suite.
- This week is a tale of the hidden viscose carpet.
- Customer that wanted 60% wool, 40% silk rug cleaned.
- Ok, can be problematic but we’ll deal with it.
- Get there and find out that what they thought was silk was in fact Art Silk – Art short for artificial! And it is not a very good fibre at all!!
- It is being snuck into all manner of fabrics and carpeting as it looks and feels luxurious. It’s even touted as “green”, which is an utter lie as a by-product is CS2, a very toxic substance!
- People, don’t believe the hype! If you or anyone you know is about to buy furniture or rugs in particular, please run it by me first before you make a potentially disastrous mistake by buying the wrong fabric.
- These are ticking time bombs and are already creating havoc amongst the cleaning fraternity.
