As much as I enjoy watching these videos, I find it hard to believe that any carpet could be THAT dirty

[@TR4zest]

I agree. This looks like a set up. It is too evenly dirty. The corners are as filthy as the centre, which is unlikely. If it was that dirty, over 50 years, the dirt would act like an abrasive and that pile would not survive.

I just got through Power Washing my Driveway, it wasn’t that Dirty. It was Four Years Ago when it was last done.

Agreed.

[@Ace-Of-Spades---]

I would also like to doubt it, even if there are no vacuum cleaners and every dirt is slipped in. To get so dirty, it would have to lie on a constantly damp clay soil for decades. And who buys an expensive carpet without at least knocking it out of the dust for decades?

It's not a real Persian rug, you can see the mechanical serging around the edge. Alot of channels like this engage in the same setup; if it was that dirty, we would see cotton rot or heavy staining.

[@soonjasabet2373]

First of all this is not a Persian rug and this rug was caked in mud on purpose of this video! We have Persian rugs older than a hundred years in the house inherited from from family, only sign of age is worn and shortened fringes, and we been just vacuumed regularly and spot cleaned if someone spilled something on them. I am in my eighties with all the ware and tears, but not our Persian rugs brought from Iran in sixties and seventies, they are not faded or show any wear! I advise anyone who can, invest in beautiful Persian rugs! You don’t get tired of them or need to replace them because you only need to buy only once for not only you but for whoever get them once you are no longer on this earth.

I think it is a modern synthetic rug. No vintage Persian rug could take that kind of cleaning. Just my opinion.

[@horatiohornblower868]

@@kennethiman2691 Indeed. I wouldn’t trust a precious Persian carpet in the hands of these guys. Their way to clean is far too brutal. I once visited a professional shop where they clean very old tapestry. This was a very slow process, whereby specially treated lime free water and a mild solvent percolated for hours through the tapestry, until the water was crystal clear. Then it took several hours to let the gobelin tapestry dry. After the drying process the painstaking process of restoration could start

For a time in our high school years, my brother and I worked Saturdays at an Oriental rug auction (all handmade, mostly Persian) held at the Waldorf Astoria. We, along with a few other teens, were there to load/unload and handle the rugs (many being antiques) during the auction. Getting to handle them and up-close showed us just how robust and well-made those rugs were. Incredibly heavy, and dense with tight knots (observed on the undersides). What I wasn't surprised by was how the rug in the video appeared to maintain good color: The auction's rug dealers (two Persian brothers from Egypt) told us that the dyes used were created from insects and plants, with the resulting colors being more stable than artificial dyes.

My husband bought a couple of persian carpets. Said to b over 50yrs old. They were so heavy i couldnt move them. Got a new super vacuum cleaner. Filled 3 bags of dirt from one carpet. It was so funny. We had a Doberman who go excited when anyone came. He would run to the door n race back excitedly. The carpet never moved. Then after an afternoon of vacuuming. He rushed to the door n the carpet took off with him at such a speed he was in shock. Next day, found him galloping in one direction flying on the carpet then pushed it back in place n then galloped the other direction. He had such fun. So i then placed it on one end of the room n it now gave him about 12 mtrs to slide. It was so funny to see his fun. His new game did not harm the rug or the tiles. When i came home n the carpet wasnt in its place, i always laughed when greeting him. He wld run to where the pile of carpet was all piled up. So pleased with with himself. He eventual was happy just to make it slide anywhere. Gorgeous carpet under all that sand that weighed it down

Did the rug belong to the original owner who left it to the new owner? Where had it been displayed? Did it meet its fate only after the warehouse had flooded? I could better imagine someone abandoning the rug and anything else inside after the building was first flooded.

I'm from Flanders (Belgium) where wall tapestries were made in the middle ages. Many of them are still in an excellent condition, even after 600-700 years, despite sometimes terrible conditions (lot of humidity here). So I totally see how such a carpet can survive that long, despite being stored improperly and even flooded a couple of times.

[@freeagent8225]

[@slayer8actual]

There's a reason I have 4 large authentic Persian rugs in my home. I bought them about 20 years ago while in the Kuwait and they are still in great shape, brightly colored and hardly a wear mark on them in spite of their daily use with human and pet traffic. I will have to say this though, they are no fun to clean. A standard vacuum cleaner is not sufficient to get dirt out of the tightly woven threadworks. They do have to be professionally cleaned and since they are very large, just getting them rolled up is a job in itself. But since that is something that we don't have to do that often, they were well worth the money.

[@taurotar]

I worked in the oriental rug business for years, selling and repairing them. I cleaned many old rugs, some that were pretty dirty, and the 1st thing you do is to turn the rug over, face down, and vacuum the back with a machine that has a beater bar. This beats the dirt out of the rugs foundation, i.e. the warp and weft. If the rug is wet washed before beating the dirt out, you turn the dirt into mud which gets into the foundation and when dried, turns to dry rot.

It IS interesting to see the process of restoration, and how well you clean these beautiful pieces of hand woven work.

This doesn't make sense!! Why would someone one treat a rug like that.

I’m more amazed that a 50 yr old carpet has no signs of wear, someone is being economical with the truth

[@BlackStump172]

It was hanging .

[@markkinsler4333]

Think of 50 years of dust from polluted air. That, and everyone walked on it before the house was abandoned. These carpets do not wear out.

What a beautiful carpet. I love the green in the rug. Job well done! 💖✨💫

The carpet is so beautiful. Watching it being cleaned was fascinating.

[@raquellofstedt9713]

I cleaned a little prayer rug that had been left in a "summr house" attic once. Similar transformation. Just a lovely little thing but sooooo dirty at first I couldn´t tell what it was. Real quality in these old pieces!

[@auntiem873]

There is a difference between never been washed and never been vacuumed. Poor rug. Someone mistreated it. I’m glad it is getting attention now. That’s a gorgeous rug, you did a great job cleaning it.

I’m impressed that the rug didn’t just disintegrate into mush A very well made rug. I hope after all this work that the owner doesn’t let the rug get in the bade shape again.

How can anyone let anything get so dirty?? Especially a beautiful piece of art like this. Thank you for rescuing it.

[@odiii1966]

Relaxing. I understand that this is a tribal rug, knots are ghiordan, asymetric and may come from Pakistan, Türkiye or even China with a medaillon type of motive, whilst persians, all come from Iran. Their knots will be Senneh style, thinner, asymetric and using finest materials including gold and silk. Motives are smaller and colors are soft more like in the pastel palette. In any case, out of the rug origin, this is a wonderful work performed by pros. ❤

[@user-kn6my6yv2t]

Great job, but if the rugs look like that…I would hate to see the rest of the house!

[@ywc378]

Probably more like a barn? Pig sty?

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

It came alive-literally. What a stunningly BEAUTIFUL carpet!!!!! It takes knowledge and skill to do what you did here. I’m certain it was an expensive process and OBVIOUSLY worth EVERY penny. THE OWNER IS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND YOU!

[@tinageane6646]

As I start to see colors slowly emerging its so amazing! This is quite fascinating! What a beautiful job dedicated work,long hours, also beautiful rugs to hold up all this time after being so dirty. Wonderful to restore something to its former beauty

[@josenavas9968]

"Rug" who would have thought? Certainly not me. The man who cleaned the rug deserves a standing ovation. Mostly, I believe the rug would have been thrown out to the dump, if haven't been for his talents

[@darleneworden6874]

What a patient person you have to be to do this extensive cleaning. The amount of water and detergent and swipes is wow! Not to mention the time.

If only we all had wet rooms to laboriously wash, soap, rinse, repeat repeatedly. Thanks for all your efforts.

Takový nádherný koberec, nechápu, jak ho někdo mohl nechat dojít do takového stavu, to úplně zabalí u srdce...před pár lety jsem si koupila dva nádherné vlněné perské koberce a už nikdy nechci jiný, všechno ostatní je v porovnání s nimi šmejd,který nic nevydrží. Zbožňují je i mí psi a kočky, kteří na nich rádi spí.

I'm sure they have some kind of method to dry this thick carpet within a few hours, otherwise it would stink like crazy like a wet bath towel left in a washer. But it was great to see it comes back to beautiful original state!

I was 15-16 years old in 1979 and I helped a friend doing this work on some Saturdays for Home Carpet Cleaning in Cambridge. Did pick ups in the early mornings then the boss would do the cleaning and my friend (Rupin) and I used a massive squeegee machine to rid excess water then hung them in tack boards with pulleys to dry in a massive drying room 3-4 stories high. The boss had a method of drying so they didn’t crisp as the temperature varied with the height of the hang. Sometimes the van had over $150,000 of rugs in it while we were on route. Never saw anything like this though. And yes, those guys were Armenian!

[@uisguexjack]

Yes I did similar work and our layout was close to what you describe. We had a giant rubber laundry ringer that fed it into our drying room.

[@mggrant4911]

If the "old thing" had been outdoors it's possible it got this dirty.

What an astounding transformation!! You did a magnificent job of restoring that Persian beauty back to its lovely and painstaking creation!! Bravo!!!
