FYI Alova Suedecloth is DISCONTINUED!

Oh, Wow! I think it's time for me to make a cow costume for my Roomba!
(if I ever get a Roomba, that is. . . )

I have a Roomba... you can have it & all the extra parts for super cheap (like $25) + shipping if you want it! I've honestly found that once you add in the time it takes to clean the dog hair out of th brushes & parts, pick up all the throw rugs, sweep out the corners & set up the "virtual wall in preparation for running the thing... it's about 10x faster to just sweep or vacuum the old fashioned way! Plus, it takes 45 minutes to an hour to do a large family room-- that's a long time to listen to the noise it makes.

Oh, and this is the third one I've been sent from the manufacturer after the other two broke-- don't believe what is says about working on carpets! It will wear out the gears in a week or so if you try to use it on carpets. It really only works on hard surfaces. I wish I'd never wasted my money on the darned thing.

But if you want it... LOL!

you know, I've always wondered how well those little roomba things worked, and wondered if I'd ever be able to afford one. Now I know I'll just skip it and hire a maid instead.

Just to let everyone know, I asked at my local Joanns last night and Alova suedecloth was not discontinued in-store, or at least not in mine.

I have mixed feelings - on one hand I'm glad its not going anywhere - but on the other, I was looking forward to a kickass sale But noooo, 6 freaking 99 as usual....

alova suedecloth is at walmart for $2.00/yard. i just got some tonight. natural colors - tans, browns, greens, that kind of shades.

hth.

MY Wal-Mart only carries Ultra-suede Although they did have some generic looking suedecloth fabric for a $1 a while back.

What might one use suede cloth for? And why wont Ultra suede work? ?'s from a novice diaper sewer.... :

Cool, I like the idea of the stay dry feeling. Would I just cut some rectangles out and serge the edges? I use fitteds and covers. And just lay the suede cloth in the diaper? Kinda like microfleece right?

You don't even need to serge the edges - it doesn't fray

Yep, just like microfleece, except less bulky and stays looking new for. ev. er. Doesn't pill!

I have a few diapers with suedecloth and I really didn't like the feel of it either (wonderoos). They are in a 'donate' box atm... While it didn't really pill up, it still attracted 'linty' or fabric bits kinda like microfiber cleaning cloths do....so it bugged me..haha

Oh well. I've heard some mom's LOVE it for pads...but I'd prefer a cotton/hemp or fleece for that!
