I tried adusting my new shredded latex pillows. I was advised to simply take out the latex until I reach the desired firmness. That sounded simple enough. What I didn't count on was that this activity would turn my home into a catastrophe. Latex got EVERYWHERE! All over my floor, and bed, and clothes. It's very sticky too. It is quite difficult to get off my clothes. Using a broom and dustpan is highly ineffective and cleaning it up, and it sticks to them too. Also, when i try to discard the contents of the dustpan, chunks of the latex blow back out onto the floor. This is a freakin' nightmare. I wish I would have known this before I started taking out shredded latex. Had I known this would happen, I would have went over to the house of my worst enemy, and performed this activity there. I do not own a vacuum cleaner but I might have to buy one exclusively to try to deal with this problem. Will a vacuum cleaner have difficulties sucking up insane amounts of shredded latex?

How about using a lint brush? I used that to get foam that was stuck to the Sealy Truefoam mattress outer covering. You think they could do a better job before they sell those mattresses. I took the zippered cover off to flip the mattress over and saw all the tiny foam pieces. Never got them all off either. But the lint brush got lots off. I had a similar experience with shredded foam in a pillow. I washed it (don't know why I forgot foa pieces were inside the pillow) and the pillow came apart, so tiny pieces of foam were all over the pillowcases, sheets, etc. I had to rewash and rewash the wash again and was finding foam shavings still on pillowcases for a while. I would find it in the dryer. I will NEVER use foam pieces again. Lesson learned. |
