TYVEK – Better Rug Cleaning Through Science
Dusty Roberts copied
me on this and I thought it was to good to throw away. Dusty is a funny guy in
that on an intellectual level he likes social media and blogging but on a
personal level he will send emails all day and never bother to blog the better
ones.
Protecting Fragile Rugs:
If you get a wide roll
of TYVEK type of housewrap you can protect weaker rugs and smaller rugs from
the RugBadgers Vibro-Straps.
Just cut an oversized
piece and lay over the back of the rug or group of small rugs that are for
Badgering. Viola, problem solved.
Now there is more you
can do with the big roll of TYVEK.
1. Use it to Badger
nasty rugs on top of for photo opportunities to put in your brag book/web site
etc
2. Use it to wrap rugs for long term storage. Make it policy to always ask all clients if they want any of their rugs wrapped for storage. If they say yes then charge between .35-.55 per square foot of the rugs size to wrap.
-make sure you take a photo first and print it. Write on the back of the pic the size etc so that 2 months or 20 years later someone will know what this wrapped up rug is.
-roll on a carpet core to keep it stiff. Get the core from a carpet store bin and cut them 2 feet longer then the rug is wide.
-Roll the rug up onto the core and tie it securely.
-Wrap in the TYVEK with the printing on the outside.
-Attach a clear paper sleeve to the outside and put the photo in the sleeve
-use the overhanging core to carry the rug and to hang from a garage/basement ceiling as this will keep vermin/water/bugs out.
