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.

[@stevenmoomey2115]

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

[@ARTD67]

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?

[@JP-lz3vk]

Its from Houston which goes underwater every so often.

[@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.

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

The fact it cleaned up so well and the color's were beautiful is a testament to the incredible workmanship and materials these rugs are made ,my nephew married a wonderful girl from Iran, when they visit they bring home Persian rugs, I've never seen such beauty

[@astridbarrera]

Just out of personal curiosity-are you actually allowed to bring home carpets from Iran to, say, the EU or US?I would have thought that to be tricky, but really am not informed on the matter.

[@AngieF8]

​@@astridbarrera My ex was Persian, his Persian friend brings them home, to the US, not as imports, just personal use. You are technically not allowed to take out of the country that way, but in Iran, as in many countries, you can do many things by just giving the guy at the airport a little $ to let it pass through. The natives I'm sure know when and how to do that kind of thing, I wouldn't try it if I was not Iranian. Otherwise buy one that has been imported legally.

[@itzakpoelzig330]

I've never been to Iran, but I've traveled to many other countries and bought many large items like rugs and furniture. The way I've gotten them home (to the US) is by mailing them to myself. Usually the place where I bought them would gladly take care of that for me.

[@ceessneek9242]

I had one, what I think is that when you wash it with so much water and soap the colors blend together. And it will take 100 years to dry. Mine was blood stained so I just put it by the garbage and buy new one. Much easier.

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.

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.

Yes, there might be hope for any throw rugs under all the hoard! Though most wall to wall needs to be ripped out because it is terribly filthy, and often hides bugs, rodent feces, and even rotten floor boards underneath it. Best to rip out wall to wall and determine the state of the flooring. But yeah, if there are any loose rugs like this you can take them to a cleaner like this guy and rejuvenate them if they are good quality to withstand the cleaning treatment.

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.

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.

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

[@Followyourdreams88442]

WOW! The dye in that rug is steadfast. What an amazing piece of art by the weaver many years ago, when things were made to last.

[@Dakiniwoman]

I am always amazed to see how much soil comes out from each rug. The rich colors on this one and beautiful design are very special. I am so glad to see rug come back to life again.

[@Lamapanty]

This is why I don't like rugs, they just accumulate dirt and it feels filthy no matter how much or often I clean it.

It’s so entrancing with how methodical this mud roll is cleaned. Absolutely beautiful workmanship and quality hidden underneath.

[@elizabeth11aguirre11]

This is a perfect example of someone with an OCD. It is also a beautiful classic Persian rug and pretty expensive. 😊

[@gracecommunitychurchbroxbu3547]

I had no clue watching someone clean a carpet could be so satisfying. It would have been in the bucket in my house, but it got a new life here.

[@EyeSeeThruYou]

Who knew that carpet fibers could trap that much dirt over time? Even better, who knew the methodical protocols involved in professional cleaning require no music, no narration, and is satisfying to simply watch unfold? Carpet colors that popped out, stage by stage, are just gorgeous! Thank you for offering an opportunity to witness the process. Who knew it was so intricate? My guesses for the real-time hours spent would be 4-5 hours, possibly? How close am I? And the cleaning tools and area...wow! It's like a shower stall for carpets! 🚿 😊 👍

[@jamesluther967]

I can't believe that the 65 yr old carpet is in that good of shape and has a modern day backing

[@Manatus22]

That carpet is made of good material- if it did not fall apart after many floodings and rough scrubbing. Great restoration effort. Hard work but quite rewarding.

[@randolphpmiller]

I believe based on the pattern it is a Persion Tabriz. An authentic Tabriz over 65 years old is a piece of art and probably worth tens of thousands of dollars. Well worth the restoration.

[@robmiller5818]

There are several parts in the video you can see the manufacturer tag still on the corner. Not 65 years old, Not Persian.

[@plektosgaming]

@@robmiller5818 It also came in basically caked in mud, which isn't normal "wear". Not saying that it can't happen, but that's damage, not decades of wear.

Gorgeous rug. Worth every minute of time it took to clean it. A rug like this is made to last forever. So no surprise it held up through the cleaning. Quality piece.

[@chantelmoore3711]

Awesome video!!! So relaxing!!! Such an amazing transformation!!!! What a beautiful piece of craftsmanship that your cleaning has highlighted. That rug went from being trash to something that needs to be showcased!

[@vollkrassmann858]

Great job of the carpet cleaning expert! Respect & Thx for sharing!

[@DaveC2729]

If I had something like this that had been around that long, I doubt I'd even remember what it was. What makes me scratch my head isn't that it wasn't cleaned; it was that it didn't get thrown out.

[@lynnquin8565]

The description says it was in an old warehouse that had been flooded many times. I imagine that in flood-prone areas there are a ot of items that were in storage and never removed due to the owner relocating the business.

[@christopherwalker283]

When I think of the hours of work and dedication it took to make this carpet, I find it hard to believe that people would show such disregard for its beauty by allowing it to become this soiled. Nice work bringing this art back to life.

[@crp5591]

Absolutely beautiful rug! The craftsmanship and materials on it must have truly been superb to be able to withstand all it went through (cleaning included). Fantastic work all around!

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.

[@missd4420]

P.S. I saw this today, and thought about all the times I get discouraged about how long it seems to be taking for me to change / for the Lord to transform me. It's a really great analogy of how we come to The Lord, and the process of Him cleaning us out / "washing us white as snow". It takes time. So if there are any believers out there: Take heart. God is always working! 😉 ♥️

[@agyvonne]

How amazingly beautiful after all that work!! But it also amazes me that someone didn’t care for this beautiful carpet for over 60 years. My parents had a gorgeous all wool handmade Aubusson carpet in their living room for almost 50 years. It was immaculate. Periodically my mother would have it cleaned. That’s what you do to cherish & keep good rugs. I now have their rug.

Your soul is not a carpet that needs to be cleaned. Sacramental confession cleanses the soul then God forgets the offense after the Sacrament and penance prescribed are complete.
