Your rugs of course.
I have a pretty big area rug on the porch that gets lots of use because the kids go over it as they come in and out the house. It gets vacuumed all the time. But I decided to haul it outside and beat it out.
OMG
I am horrified at the amount of dirt that came out.
On a good note, the kids had a blast whacking it with tennis rackets and baseball bats. LOL
I will be taking it out for a beating more regularly from now on. Any tips for keeping those rugs clean. We are going to rent a machine to do do the rest of the carpeting. I really wish I could take it out back and beat the dirt out of it too.
Quoting Reina13:YES!! I love to do it. It helps me with stress relief...lol
It was also kind of a good workout. I wasn't expecting that :)
No, but I should. I vacuum mine but I know it doesn't get the dirt out as well as beating them. Hmm.. guess I will
I don't have many area rugs in the house. Just at the doors specifically for wiping feet. I take those out and beat them when I think of it.
My carpeting really needs to good cleaning and I would love to get Zerorez in to do them. I just can't do it right now because we have some other big expenses going on so the carpets will have to be put off. Someday though I will get them clean.
we only have the bathroom ones and one in front of the door. I take it out for a good shaking and if it is machine washable throw it in the washer and hang it outside to dry.
