heat on cgd olefin

December 4 2007 at 10:02 PM		 steve r  
had some red stains so i used the iron and red relief without any problems so i would think the hot glue might come out with the iron too. i would use real wet towels though and dont leave the iron on it long.

I'd be REAL careful about that. Olefin fiber has a LOW heat threshold, and it will melt very easily.

Yes, be very careful. I called myself being very careful doing the exact same thing you have mentioned and left a nice looking melted hole in one of my customers den. She's one of my residential contract maintenance customers, so I see her every 6 months.

Thank goodness she forgave me and put a rug over it.

Good Grief "put a rug over it" I am not tall, young and good looking, so I get to replace the carpet. Is that fair?
