Feech away!

Now that we have everything off the van we need to get rid of all the old and dirty (feechee) fabrics. Brown was obviously a popular colour on the 80's.

The worst stuff to remove was the brown furry fibre matting which seemed to be everywhere. The glue that it was stuck on certainly did the job. After some research we had a few things to try to get rid of the feech.


We tried steam and that was a failure, next a hair dryer again a failure. WD40 was the next suggestion again no movement.

Finally we tried petrol (don't try this at home) and success it came off.


It was a slow process but it was worth it to have it all off.  

The last stuff to remove was the backing cloth that was behind the wardrobe, that was not too difficult to remove, it pulled off.  

Now the inside of the van is all clean ready to start with the addition of the cupboards.
