We have those at the shop.
Lots of wimmens come through and we don't want to send them home
lookin` like chicken heads on Broadway.

I wouldn`t bleach nylon as it is mostly solution dyed. Topical.

Olefin may be a better fiber. Recycled plastic bottles.
Some have a unitary backing which has no jute and is more malleable and does not
hold as much water by a long shot. Haven`t seen any samples with the longer nap
as the original which I suspect has better wicking properties.

I place one of these in my cabin when the boat is on the lift. The difference was noticeable within 24 hours. It is not a dehumidifier but dries the air, uses very little power and has no sparking elements.

Replacing a girlfriend or wife is always costly !!
My suggestion would be, do not put those girls in a position
that they see the shag carpet while you are in the cabin ...

I know this will keep you on your back, but will save you money
in the long run.


Some good info in here... now I can defend the benefits of disco mouse hair to my lady. Or, as you suggested, just use "avoidance techniques".

The hatch cleaning results came out well. The rest of the ceiling is in excellent shape. It's shrunk a bit over time, or at least the edges have pulled out around the windows and such, but no sagging that I recall. I'd post pics but photobucket and I no longer get along...
