Even after seeing the design after the first scrub, I did not expect that rug to come out with such vibrant colors.

[@ferretyluv]

It’s the oxyclean (the oxygen booster, blue powder that he throws on). It makes colors brighter.

[@carolynallisee2463]

As you're picking the maggots off the pile side of the carpet then it is likely that food was dumped there prior to the rug being ditched. But I happen to know that some carpet backing materials can also become maggot infested. I'm going back about three or so decades here, but I recall that, after my maternal grandmother died, we were asked to remove the carpet that had been laid in one of her sheltered housing rooms. This was done, and the carpet stored in the family home garage. I noted at the time that the foam backing of the carpet had a distinctive smell, slightly sweet and not unpleasant, but not very strong, either. Sometime later, I noticed that something had been eating this foam backing, leaving a branching pattern. at the ends of each of the branches was a brown coloured pupa, which I thought resembled a fly pupa. I told my mother about it: she was dismissive at first, but later apologised when the papae hatched and the garage was swarmed with greenbottle flies! Now I know my grandmother's carpet was clean- she was a fastidious sort, and up to a couple of weeks before she died, was active and able to do the cleaning. There was also no alternate source of food in the garage, not even cardboard. All that the maggots had to eat was the foam backing on that carpet, and they not only ate it, they got enough nourishment out of it to complete their development.

[@ruthblair3224]

I am a retired nurse and I can imagine how bad that rug had to smell. You did an amazing job and the rug was beautiful when you finished. ❤️

[@childofthe60s100]

Are nurses experts at smelling rugs????

[@camilab1121]

@@childofthe60s100no, but we are experienced with wounds so infected maggots are crawling in them and the smell is absolutely putrid. This rug has to smell like death if there’s maggots.

[@CoffeeFruits-World]

God bless you, Ms. Blair! You are providing an invaluable service to our world, and I thank you for that.

[@PaulineKeenan-vv2jl]

Hi. I'm confused as to what nursing has to do with cleaning a rug? 🤔🤔 I'm also a retired health professional and I can't make the link?

[@ruthblair3224]

@@PaulineKeenan-vv2jl As a nurse, I have smelled infections that were co ered in maggots, so the fact that the rug was dirty enough to be infested with maggots had to be just as bad or worse than the smells I have experienced in my nursing career.

[@Morfineczka]

I'm curious if there is anyone here, watching your videos and after the first wash they are like "holy moly, this is my old rag that I dumped last year"

[@karinstrauss6459]

Unbelievable. It looks brand new, al that vibrant colors you brought out. Simply amazing ❤

[@stormy8207]

When you see the green tinge in the water you know it is rank. Never expected that to turn out so bright. I live in Melbourne, Australia and these videos drop on Saturday mornings for us. I sit down and have a cuppa while I watch your videos. Another one saved from landfill and as usual, editing spot on

[@judycatrambone2352]

The way the rug looked after the 1st pass it waa amazing and I knew it would look better at the end. You do amazing work.

[@Extremaduur]

I like it when things are reused instead of thrown away. Nothing as good as a nice rug on a laminate floor.

[@ellaboobella8770]

Takes a truly compassionate person to remove and not harm maggots. You’re awesome. ❤

[@ecc0006]

Why would u not want to kill maggots theyre flies

[@pikathechao3701]

@@ecc0006 If all flies stopped existing, dead stuff would pile up so fast it would be a biohazard. If the flies get to it, they can eat it and turn it back into soil. Just because one touches your food once in a while, doesn't mean they're all a bad thing. Even mosquitos, their larva feed small fish and tadpoles. Big maggots like that also make really good fishing bait, so they'll still be more useful alive and wriggling than squished!

[@EvevanKaat]

Put them on a tray in the garden and they're wonderful bird food.

[@virginiamosier9115]

He poured hot water over the maggots. I doubt they were alive when he’d removed them. He probably didn’t want brushes full of maggots.

[@johnwilliams8818]

This question got stuck in my brain. I know it's less about cleaning the carpets than it is the *_Process,_* that's why I watch too. But I do get curious about the *_results_* too. I'm assuming that blue powder is an Oxy-Boost? I was wondering if scrubbing some of that deep into the backside of the carpet would help loosen up that deeply embedded dirt that gets ground in. There, I feel better for getting that out of my brain. 🤣 Welcome to the world of OCD. 😋

[@ferretyluv]

Thanks for adding the origin! I’ve had carpet maggots before. Obviously, we can’t douse it in hot water, but do you have any suggestions to get rid of them in the future? Vacuuming didn’t work.

[@fieryvale]

Besides pesticides (either natural or chemical, just as you prefer), you might try shampooing. You can buy or rent a shampooer, fill it with hot water (and soap, if you like), and douse away. The shampooer will suck up the moisture when you're done. You will have to pick up the maggots by hand, though, as you see James doing here.

[@ferretyluv]

@@fieryvale Thanks. We did manage to get rid of them, I forget how. This was a couple years ago. It took a lot of vacuuming. I think we used pesticides but were ready to sprinkle borax everywhere. We have no idea how they got in. We don’t drop food there. We think it’s because it’s near the side door.
