Definately did right thing, if in doubt dont touch it some one will be tempted to tackle it at their perrill.

If it was bad dry cleaning wont touch it, if it is lightly soiled you may be able to dry vac throughly and mist with dryclean then terry towel repeat where needed, but like i say if it is bad stay away.

As for your second point, i`m glad i`v been established 21 years and have a good balance between domestic and commercial customers as new business is scarce, still getting regulars ringing.

Cant see this xmas been a classic but on the whole been a reasonable year all considered.

Kerr,

Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY6eJPa_S7I
1min 5 secs in. This is how to wet clean viscose velour or the new generation microfibres.

Give me a call on the number below and I will talk you through.

Cheers, Jamie.
