The Velvet Carding Brush is used in Upholstery Cleaning to set the nap.
NOW, the Velvet Carding Brush can also be used to "age" the carpet to allow for a better repair blend with the surrounding area. By brushing aggressively across the pile of the carpet; especially cut-pile carpet, the twist of the yarn can be abraded, lose twist and look like its has been walked upon for years in seconds. Along with the hammer to create crushing and soiling of the donor piece outdoors, the carpet repair can match closer to the surrounding area being repaired.
