Grill Cloth Restoration - Product Review..
#1

   

As you all know, I've been working on an old GE radio. The radio and the grill cloth were filthy. Mud, dirt, grease.. you name it. Seventy-five years of accumulated crude. When I removed the grill cloth, I could see that it was in decent shape, fabric wise. No holes, no thin spots, no snags... but very, very, dirty. I picked out new cloth and planned to replace it.

The other day I was at the refinishing store, and I noticed a product made by Mohawk, called ZipKleen II. It's labeled as an upholstery, Rug and Fabric cleaner. I love Mohawk products, so today, I drove back over there and bought some.
