Rug Dust!!!!!
« on: June 07, 2016, 04:35:43 pm »
I just cleaned a 5x7 Rug and knocked out over 7kgs of dust and it was still coming!! I had to stop after a while as it was getting ridiculous. I really could have done with a rug badger. I had to encap it in the end as there was just too much dust to clean it any other way without seriouse wick back I think there was more dust than rug! I can't believe people have these things in their front rooms!

dont buy badger unless you are going full into a rug spa. just learn to know which ones will take the extra vac time and charge for it.  one reason we always do onsite quotes for rugs and upholstery

7 kilos is a lot of dust.
Like about 20 vac bags full.

Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

I dont really want to go down the rug plant route. I did view the rug before hand, I just thought the average amount of crud would come out until i started dusting... then there was no stopping it. I did think it was a bit heavy when I picked it up though!

Was it a gun tufted rug? If so the dust could be the latex drying out & breaking up as well as normal soiling. That would look like sand.

No it was woven. The sandy dusty stuff was quite dark not like latex dust. I have had that before off of chinese rugs.

Incidentally I think your rug course will be one of my next courses, I think I'm learning a little too much as I go sometimes.  ;D

Dennis I once got a lot of white powder out of a rug.

Joked with the lady that has got a street value of around £3k.

She looked really worried, she came back an hour later and said.

I just realised that is about 5 years of shake and vac.

Still looked in perfect nick, I offered to sweep it up and re bottle.
