I know this was touched on a bit in an earlier post but I thought I would bring it up again.
For the day out in April if anyone wants to bring rugs so that they can be cleaned then that is fine. However make sure they are true Orientals.
I am not saying there will be time to clean all of them if everyone brings one but this way at least some of them can be done. You will of course have to dry them when you take them home.
Also I can get Persian and Afghan rugs for £30. They are quite small but would give you all you need to practice anything you needed to practice.
Be it remedial works or the trying out of chemicals and of course submersion or saturation cleaning. The Persians have white fringes and the Afghans, well dont.
If you want larger rugs then let me know but they will of course cost more.
Isfahans starting at £2000 and Turkmenistans at £500
Just kidding, but seriously if you do want some, let me know the size and make/stlye/country and I will see what I can source.
Anything specific that you may want covering on the day then can you also let me know. E-mail or on here or through Pete, doesnt matter.
Best, Dave.
