See I managed to keep just out of camera view, but then again I guess it stops me being recognised on Crimewatch
I really like cleaning rugs using this method, the down side ,getting the bloody things dry
I use this method too, but only during the summer months.
I've got a before/after pic on my checkatrade page but being a thick wool 8x5 rug it took 3 days to get dry in the sun.
