I have a wool gown that I need to clean-up/freshen up for wear this
weekend. The last outing with this black wool 15th century kirtle was
at a dusty/windy camp ground. The skirt is covered with dried grass
and such. What is the quickest way to get all this grass and debris
off the skirt? I keep thinking brushing is the term I've heard used,
but never done so. I've always used tape on wool skirts to remove pet
hair (my usual clingy debris). Is there a particular type of brush I
should use? Stick with the tape?
I've found a pet hair brush that I absolutely love. I have two long
haired cats that don't charge for furring my garments. It is basically a
wand with a layer of Velcro/velvet like substance. You brush against
the tilt of the velvet substance then push a little lever that combs the
hair out and puts it in a little box on the back. You swish it through
one way and then the other and it cleans the outer surface for you to
make more swipes. I got it at Rite Aide in the Seen on TV spots. Works
like a charm and doesn't have to be pulled off and have sticky things
around to stick to your cat's paws (so funny).
