The rug by my front door needed a good shake for all the dust. I shook it, beat it, and rinsed it. There are a few spots, which I scrubbed with a bristle brush and water.

It was time to beat a rug.  I used a home made rug beater and was shocked at how much dirt and dust came out of the rug that gets vacuumed regularly.

I’m here at Wheaton Labs!
Today, as part of nest labor, I cleaned up the solarium for our new boot, which included cleaning the rugs. Here’s two out of half a dozen or more.

I took them out, shook them out, beat them with a stick, laid them in the sun, then put them back! Ezpz :)
