I heard dyson eats persian rugs or wool? Anyone for sure?

Any Oriental rug should be broom cleaned for best results. For best results hang and stick beat them from the back side and let them sit in the sun for a few hrs. every few weeks.

Who’s Dyson? Why this particular food fetish? For sure, I don’t understand the question.

@gailcalled – lol :P

@gailcalled Hey! I had the same question. However, as they say, “Google is our friend”. Turns out to be a brand of vacuum cleaner. Go figure.

Hi, Grissom. Life is too short to Google every mystery, don’tcha think? Thanks for doing it for me.

And as for airing Oriental rugs, mine weigh about 50 lbs, are large and extremely cumbersome.

I have some nice old Turkish kilims. These used to be considered quite chic in the distant 70’s. The Turkish dealer told me the best way to clean these, and I’m told it works for Navajo rugs, Indian dhurries too – any flatweave. I love this.

1. wait till it snows
(2. it has to be a fairly dry snow)
3. haul the rug out onto the fresh snow
4. walk all over it and beat it with a broom
5. flip it over onto another patch of fresh snow
6. walk all over it and beat it with a broom
7. repeat until walking and beating no longer leaves a rug-sized dirt print on the snow

Do you know you need about half an acre per rug to do this?

susanc: Move in with me. I have the exterior space to do 10 rugs at a time, if you can bring the 18 year old muscle. And I certainly have enough snow.

O I have the 18 year old muscle all righty, in multiples. Do you think being 3 1/2×18 years old will make me 3 1/2 times more effective than an 18 year old? I would like that.
Lurve, Gail, o ye of great acreage.

My dyson has never ate a persian rug.
Oh, wait, I don’t own a persian rug.

@chyna: you don’t own a persian rug because it was ate by a dyson
