Your designer should not be recommending viscose/rayon to ANYONE to purchase if she truly values their business. My feeling is that she is unaware of all negatives of the product, because I'm sure she wants to direct her customers to good products. I am going to post suggestions to you in my next Rug Chick post - it's a good topic and I've been getting a lot of viscose questions lately. Thank you, Lisa Terri, faux silk will yellow with moisture, and with time. Your designer should not be recommending viscose/rayon to ANYONE to purchase if she truly values their business. My feeling is that she is unaware of all negatives of the product, because I’m sure she wants to direct her customers to good products.

I am going to post suggestions to you in my next Rug Chick post – it’s a good topic and I’ve been getting a lot of viscose questions lately.

Thank you,
Lisa

I did have a water spill on the faux silk part that left a horrible brown stain - as you've described. I read your Cleanfax article, got a recommendation through Cleanfax for a reputable cleaner in my area, and they took the rug to their facility to clean. They cleaned the stain pretty well, but all the off-white faux silk areas are now more of a beige color. Any help for these parts? A designer recommended that I use the faux silk when I had the rug made. I've showed her your article, and she says she has a hard time believing that it's true! Any help is appreciated.
