My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Chinese brocade---curing?

19 years ago

My husband got to travel in western China recently, and he brought me yards and yards of gorgeous brocade. He says that the sales person said "something" about curing the brocade in cold water before using it. I'm baffled. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
