Greg,
How did the silk rug come out? I know this is probably to late and it’s not much detail but I just saw some information on cleaning silk on Lisa Wagner’s web site, Therugchick.com.
I actually talked with Cody about it and it turned out to be a pretty easy job, I picked the rug up and cleaned it in my garage with the upholstery mate. Just took my time and extracted it really well and setup up a couple of fans to speed up the drying time. I am going to return it on Saturday.
