Question for you rug nerds.

[Mikey P]

How often to you use the word "Abrash" on a daily basis?

American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source - Share This
a·brash (ä-bräsh', ?-bräzh') Pronunciation Key
n. The natural and variable change in color that occurs in an Oriental rug over time when different dyes are used.

 

[Doug Cox]

Never. I've never used the word but thought about it once.

 

[rhyde]

As the subject comes up which is so frequently.

 

[Carpet Cleaning Fool]

To be honest with you I use the term "Lost Boy's under the pier next to Santa Cruz Beach Board Walk" a heck of a lot more than abrash.

But seriously. Does anybody bother dying rugs now a days?

Rainbow International even changed their name cause of the negativity associated with dying rugs. Rainbow. Anybody want to buy a dying franchise?

 

[The Great Oz]

Only when someone asks why their rug looks like that. If I were the guy checking in rugs or picking them up, I'd use it every time I saw abrash, just to make sure the customer didn't try to blame the cleaning for it.

Time to join the RIA and take a few classes?

 

[Mikey P]

i guess so.

 

[rhyde]

mikey why don't you buy Talisman instead of slumming with a dry cleaner..?

 

[Mikey P]

Good question.



Got half a mill to loan me?

We use it every time we see it on our preinspection, Be surprised how many clients say they have never noticed it before. Tell them before and you are giving them knowledge, tell them after they complain sorta makes them look stupid they didn't see it before in their 10 million dollar rug. Sort pisses them off. But, again I do thet naturly so I need to build all the points I can...

That was a great list Nate sent you...
