I just want to say thankyou to all my members. Your support really does help me to make better videos. I will be posting uncut versions of all my videos on a weekly basis and perhaps some more behind the scenes videos too. I hope you enjoy.

[@RichHall1]

Man, I’d love a tour of the place video. I sort of picture it like a converted bay car wash, but it’d be neat to see what the set up is and the tools and stuff, and especially how that drain trough works.

[@justinmcclanahan6036]

@MountainRugCleaning,dude were not giants,you don't need that overhead view I don't like overhead views of any kind get the camera back down to ground level that way people can see what your doing, I hate the overhead view☹️😠😡

I'm definitely subscribed. What is the actual name of the white mat thing you clean the carpets on? Is it a pond liner? no I don't think so. hm.

[@nadinecoutts7340]

The psychology behind why these videos are so relaxing must be fascinating. My favourite part is when the suds and water is scraped off.

​@joedog625 seeing as how ENGLISH came from "not the US," I wonder where it could have come from... the ENGLISH language... hmm... Thats a real head scratcher! Anyway, I'd have to say their spelling is actually the correct one since it originated there. We are the dumb@sses here. Not them. We are the ones who decided to change the spellings and pronunciations on everything.

[@ginaleith1510]

The whoosh when he sluices off a lot of water is great. I also really like the end, when the last of the water gets vacuumed up. I think lots of us just love to see things ordered for some reason. There's got to be some evolutionary thing there but no idea what it is 😂

[@AmandaStarks]

I just have to say, I fall asleep to these videos every night. Thank you for not adding in music that distracts from the calming sounds of the cleaning. Also, thank you for adding longer form content for those of us who cannot afford to financially support consistently but love your channel. ❤ much love to you.

I don’t know if the carpet cleaner has a name yet but Vern is what I’ve been calling him. He looks like a Vern. Your videos have helped me not only fall asleep but stay asleep for the last three days now and I will watch them to sleep for as long as you put them out. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to finally be able to get some sleep. I’m in a DV shelter and it’s very stressful living in a communal environment so I need all the help I can get to relax and sleep. ❤❤

Love the videos, very satisfying to watch. I have two questions though… 1) how long does it take you to clean a carpet from start to finish - unedited? 2) Have you ever come across a rug that you have given up on?

[@Lovelyme88]

I hope he answers. These are great questions!

[@oliverl8880]

Additional: How much water do you use per carpet? How do you dispose of it? Or do you recycle it?

I love the anticipation of seeing what the rug is actually like, also I find these videos very relaxing and satisfying. The only rug cleaning videos I watch and subscribe. Keep ‘em coming. 👍🏻

[@lisastenzel5713]

The power washing is just unmatched.

This is one rug I'd have soaked upside down if not for the video. Letting as much loose stuff settle to the floor would have saved some back breaking work. You do find some very knarly rugs and get them so clean it can astonish.

AMAZING I’M SO DANG SATISFIED FRIEND TY FRFR

[@30x50]

Doing rug cleaning occasionally myself, i wonder why you do not use the pressurized washer directly after the first rinse to press the worst dirt out of the fiber. Also, i see the use of your dirt reynolds directly after wetting the rug as a hazard for the fibres, because it rubs the dirt over and into them. I use a pressurized water gun, working at 80 psi, to "inject" water and detergent into the fiber. Last rug i cleaned was lying in the entrance of a car workshop - between the bureau and the workshop itself - that wasn't washed for more than twelve years. One of the worst ones i've ever seen (apart from yours, of course), took me seemingly endless time to clean. And i had to use the strongest detergents i could find. Greetings from Nuremberg, Germany.

[@adinsmoor00]

I'm just curious why you don't take a carpet that is this dirty outside and blast it off with water there first before the washing process. That seems like the logical way to start cleaning a rug this full of filth. It is satisfying to watch the whole process, I just can't imagine how clogged your drains are after a few of these!

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good hose unraveling and putting away as much as the next guy, but most people don't and that normally takes a bit of time.
