Re: Carpet was clean, but had holes in it Posted by Cmyles [Email] (#1126) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Cmyles) on Fri, 9 Sep 2011 09:21:06 In Reply to: Carpet was clean, but had holes in it, Notnoel [Profile/Gallery] , Fri, 9 Sep 2011 07:04:08 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I've about arrived at the conclusion that an unfaded, dirty carpet with a few holes is best to clean and patch. Cleaning is easy, I fill a 55 gallon drum with hot water and laundry soap and stir with a big stick then let them soak for a while and it's amazing how clean they come out. I've never been able to fine good used red carpets for my '88 CV and I installed some World Upholstery "cut and sewn" crap. What a waste of time and money. Fortunately I saved the original carpets so I'm gonna clean and patch them. I suspect that an upholstery shop could patch them like new.
