I am pretty sure that I know the answer already... but just in case I thought it was perhaps worth asking the PH massive to see if there was something we could do...

The thing is, when we went to Rhodes last year I was bulldozed by the other half into buying a really expensive, pure silk rug - about 2m x 2.5m and costing around £1,600 eek

This was supposed to be one of those purchases whereby you are buying something that will last for years and will probably be passed on to your kids when you pop it.

Anyway, fast forward 1 year and I have noticed that half of it is now quite badly faded, presumably by the sun. Is this it, or is there someway of restoring it back to it's former glory?

If not, then I am going to feel pretty sick..!!

Thanks

Probably a bit Horse > Stable etc but you can get an invisible UV film for your windows, cuts out 99% of UV light and stops all your stuff fading. Does exactly what it says.
