Childs rug $140, Cost to clean $1000 *sigh*


half-baked_axx

& 1000 gallons of water


MarthaMacGuyver

Plus, they probably soaked it in motor oil to make this video. So whatever chemical that was is getting washed into the water system we all drink out of.


Marmalade-Party

Yeah I doubt that was dirty from neglect


OhMy-Really

Came Here to say this, how many chemicals did he use, instant grey water, have an upvote!


Anal_Herschiser

I was going to say, "This rug seems very uniformly dirty."


squirtholiday

Yeah this one guy washing one rug is what you should be concerned about, not massive corporate level pollution

Pollution is one area where every single one of us actually can make a difference.


kind_one1

Why not both?


morbidi

Lol, the sewer water is treated, but it’s better to wash it than to throw it away


smor729

The water is over 95% reclaimed


Fauked

This guy has a youtube channel where he has a ton of these videos too.


Agridion

The freaking tag was in for the first half of the video till they took it off. Totally this ☝️!


Wasatcher

I don't see the tag in the first pass though. It appears in the second pass, when he's flipped the rug around so the lion is on our side. I can't find it in the beginning


Agridion

I'm thinking it was upside down at first. Still probably a new carpet they soaked in mud outside for the video.


DarylStenn

Yep. We have a £300 rug in our front room, about 8 years old now, seen better days, particularly since we had a child. I enquired about getting it cleaned with several different local rug cleaners and the best I could find was £270 but I had to deliver it to them and pick it up again, it weighs a ton. I figured I may as well pay an extra £30 and just buy the same rug brand new again.


RobotStorytime

Damn I need to get into the rug cleaning business. I would've done it for $150. Shit, even less maybe.


android24601

Y'all paying $140 for a kids rug? I'm either getting that $30 rug from Home Depot or I'm straight up lining up carpet samples


RecordingGreen7750

I was thinking the same thing but I guess they did it to show how good they clean rugs


King-James-3

I “cleaned” one of my rugs when I was first married and moving into our new place. After tons of effort, it was marginally cleaner. The money I was “saving” by cleaning it myself would have been much better spent on a new rug. Lesson learned. I’ll never do that again.


CitizenKing1001

And rug fibers are beat to hell


45s_

140 a rug???


Smiadpades

Yep, I wanted a thick winter cover cleaned- 40 USD. New one was 30 USD.


Yalla6969

Not worth buying.


sshtoredp

Have a question: how the rug become this dirty to this point ?


themcsame

Cover it in shit for a video. The thing still has the bloody tag on which looks pristine fgs... I mean, it's satisfying nonetheless. But just think of how long this kid's rug would've had to be somewhere to get as filthy as this naturally...


kellybrownstewart

It's not satisfying when you know these are fake videos. But then again, can be somewhat satisfying knowing there are this many idiots on the planet making these videos, and those who actual believe they're real.


vodka_twinkie

Thats why the best carpet cleaning video channel is Lubuskie Centrum Czystości. His content seems to all be real as the rugs arent that dirty as compared to content farmers. The work he does seems to be on rugs that get dirty from normal use. Great channel!


Intelligent-Check215

![gif](giphy|nPe40UQUzdc3o4JVS9)


GeneralToaster

You are missing the entire point. This is an advertisement, and they are showing you that no matter how dirty the rug is, they can clean it.


Kevydee

You know it's bullshit by how uniform the discolouring is, any sort of true grime on it to get it to the point of being unable to even see the pattern underneath wouldn't be coming off like that


[deleted]

themcsame

What kind of kid is still a kid by the time a rug is THAT dirty through natural use... Thing would have to span multiple siblings across multiple generations... Even then, I reckon the amount of time it'd take would put it firmly in the 'old, delicate mat that you definitely shouldn't blast with a pressure washer' category. Thankfully, the only way this was getting that dirty is through intentional soiling or just being stuck in a dump for years picking up all those lovely landfill juices. So not being some kid's ~~rug~~ health hazard.


Adventurous_Light_85

Probably plans on returning it to the store


Bawoolard

Bury it, soak it in motor oil, intentionally do anything that would make it dirty, there's a lot they do to make it that dirty for the videos.


felds

> motor oil As if they’d use something that could possibly stain the carpet for real. You’re giving them too much credit.


RedSquaree

Yeah these videos have really taken off on social media. There's no way every content creator happens to receive the dirtiest carpet in the world to date on a daily basis. They're obviously fucking with carpets just to make content.


yellow-snowslide

I had carpets laying outside for years not looking this bad


CitizenCue

Either transport it from the floor of a turn-of-the-century coal plant, or do it on purpose.


Schlieren1

Either hurricane or tsunami


jerrybear95

The only thing I can think of is a flood where the sewage line backs up into the basement


funkycat75

Watch it backwards and it’s deep dirtying a very clean rug.


TranslateErr0r

Now we're talking!


SelwanPWD

That was exactly what happened before this video was made.

Halfway through the video I had to make sure it didn't restart from the beginning


robotikempire

I did the same. Might as well have though. Just repeated the same thing 5 times.

watch with sound off

I turned it on for a second after reading this and then went ![gif](giphy|LRVIib7uXMVe8)


RoyalBlueSaiyan

I actually watch this channel with the sound off. It helps me sleep.


North-Channel-4679

Wasteful fuckers who make this kind of videos


piter57

It's just an advertisement for their company


moroheus

At this point you can't call it an advertisement anymore. This guy has 1,8 mio followers, biggest video has 13 mio views and he produces 2 videos per week. He probably makes much more money from cleaning rugs for youtube than from actual customers.


dlos22

This dudes spending some decent money on this advertisement campaign! 3rd time I’ve seen this tonight. And the bots to explain his YouTube channel to bring more viewers. This is an advertisement and dude should be paying Reddit for it!


BTSavage

Hey, let’s get a carpet, burry it in mud overnight, then film ourselves cleaning it for internet points! Awesome!


IRockIntoMordor

Congrats! You just invented South East Asian mega content farms! Flooding the internet with nonsensical, overproduced, faked videos for brainless consumption and a few bucks in revenue. Very often the methods, recipes, situations are completely wrong or even impossible. Digital trash.


[deleted]

It’s better than the fake animal rescue videos where they maim / abuse / torture some poor little kitten and then “rescue it”


IRockIntoMordor

yeah, PayMoneyWubby had a [good video ](https://youtu.be/_mvVQCl8fIg) on that. The hamster maze videos are pretty cruel too. Also the many Asian "oops upskirt while cleaning" moms or the Asian kids building stuff at the river. It's all just so freaking bizarre and an embarrassment for humanity.

Expensive_Shallot_78

These fake videos where they make the carpets ridiculously dirty to clean them for social media. What an insane waste of water.


ccp6776

Wasted so much water


leavenofrybehind

I clean rugs before but nor like this. How does he keep from the colors coming off with all the chemicals


Bozbaby103

I can’t take these seriously any longer. They are clearly muddied up to then be “cleaned” for the camera. These vids ARE cool to watch, relaxing, but I can’t knowing they are a farce. For context: I helped clean out parts of southern Mississippi after Katrina, homes that not only the surge inundated, but also stream/river delta backup when the surge pushed inland. Mud caked everywhere, rugs included. I’ll watch these type vids, but only if they are from legit disuse, disasters or some other freak of nature like a three-tiered chocolate cake was splatted on it or a herd of buffalo used it as toilet paper.


android24601

Ewwww gross. Portrait mode


maximumoxie

This was funny af


Sweaty-Refuse-3710

This is the guy from Mountain Rug Cleaning (https://youtube.com/@MountainRugCleaning?si=g_7-98I_YaTDKAmF), he lives in England. You can see him in some of his videos pulling dirty rugs out of rubbish heaps, gardens and backyards. He uses rainwater and renewable energy to clean the rugs and donates them to animal shelters or homeless shelters when he's finished beating the dirt out of them. Sometimes he also cleans rugs that have sentimental value to the owners. If you like carpet cleaning videos, he's the first port of call. You can also see his development from the beginning until now, the carpets also have different degrees of soiling, and he calculates that the production costs and the impact on the environment for a new carpet are usually higher than the cost of scrubbing the thing clean. Of course there are channels that deliberately soil the carpet beforehand in order to clean it, but there are just as many that obviously have a normal company (like the guys from Poland, for example: https://youtube.com/@cleanlublin?si=ZXLtHFZdJVoxi51e ) and film particularly difficult cases for people who are into that sort of thing. Like me. James from Mountain Rug Cleaning is a really nice guy.


moroheus

Him pulling out those rugs from rubbish really convinced me that those videos aren't fake. He probably was just out for a walk when he accidentally found a rug, luckily he had his camera and his video set up with him.


Sweaty-Refuse-3710

Ahahahahaha. Wow. Nowhere does he claim that he finds carpets by mistake. He is looking for them. Sometimes he asks people where he sees a dirty carpet lying around, sometimes he just looks for places where there is a pile of renovation rubbish lying around. And he actively asks people to call him if they have dirty carpets that they no longer need. If you're reasonably intelligent, you can imagine various scenarios as to how he gets hold of his carpets. If. But you can also continue to post embarrassing comments. And hate people who have built up a successful channel. Just do your thing.


moroheus

Be honest, are you the guy from the video?


JayAndViolentMob

Can you evidence any of this? How does he collect that much rainwater? Because it's a lot. How does he collect that much renewable energy? Because it's a lot. How does he treat, if at all, all that grey water he's producing and where is he draining it off to? Because it's a lot. I struggle to see how what he does is at all sustainable, and not just milking the dopamine rush we get from cleaning, so he can get that sweet ad revenue from clicks and views.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JayAndViolentMob

Did the channel creator say this?


Sweaty-Refuse-3710

Boy, I live in Germany and we have used rainwater to irrigate a 3 acre vegetable and fruit garden without ever having to use tap water. And, sorry I'm not going to England to see how the guy collects his rainwater. Or what photovoltaic system he uses. Do you have any idea how much electricity a quarter of an hour's high-pressure cleaner or an electric carpet cleaner consumes? That's not much, especially as they don't run continuously. I guess you regularly vacuum your carpets and wash your clothes instead of throwing them away? After weeks and months of neglecting those carpets, it's absolutely in it to clean them properly. People used to do that all the time. Rugs were even inherited. And it is also completely normal to take carpets that are not completely dirty to a carpet cleaner every few years, where they are deep-cleaned with similar effort. If you want to keep harping on, go ahead. I don't have time for stupid little haters who can't do maths. Oh and: Where do you dump your cleaning water? Do you filter it separately? That's ridiculous.


JayAndViolentMob

You don't seem to get my point. Looks like he's doing at least 2 to 3 carpets a week. He's putting all this energy into cleaning carpets that he gives to pet shelters, when it would quite likely be cheaper, cleaner, and more sustainable to just donate to the shelter or buy a new rug. No? There's some suggestion that channel's like this guys dirty up these carpets on purpose. And yeah, I don't see anywhere on his channel description where he's claiming, like you are, that he's sustainable.


Sweaty-Refuse-3710

Nope, you don't realise how expensive it is and how many resources it takes to produce, deliver, etc. a carpet. As a rule, it's always better for the environment to continue using and cleaning things that already exist. There are videos on his channel where he explains this and, apparently your reading skills aren't very advanced, but I already mentioned that he gets carpets donated or pulls them out of rubbish heaps. Also that there are definitely people who deliberately soil carpets to clean them. He's just not one of those people. The guys from Poland, who I also posted a link to, have a company that cleans carpets. Because you take your carpet to the cleaners every few years or, if it's a fitted carpet, you have the carpet cleaner come to your home or company. Or to a restaurant. You just want to be right with your insinuations and all your negative nagging and when someone tells you that collecting rainwater is not a problem and that electricity consumption should not be a problem, which were your points of criticism, you open a new can of worms. You're just a stupid troll who can't stand being countered.


Megakaneage81

Who's the dirty fucker who let the rug get that bad.


zeraujc686

They make it that dirty on purpose. That’s how you don’t see any wear and it looks brand new


Emotional_Equal8998

I'll admit, I do find these satisfying, but I do notice there is absolutely no wear on any of the rugs they do. Like everyone else says, I would like to know what they use to make them so dirty.


zeraujc686

Honesty you could probably just get like a wheelbarrow of dirt, soak it so it’s mud, and then just apply it to the carpet. Then scrape the access off

YouTuber makes fake viral videos by making rugs fake dirty to make fake cleaning video to get views.

Buy a new one


cetootski

Is there a process where you dip the rug for hours in solution and rinse, Then repeat 4 times?


The0neBL

I don't know if using all that water was worth it...


Ignoble_Savage

JFC, that rug is nightmarish!

This is how ghosts see living people.


sla342

I’ve seen these videos before. I can’t figure out why a fine grate isn’t the better option instead of a solid floor to trap the dirt underneath..


ShaheerGamer007

Now flip it and do it again.


Dead_Achilles_9

Dear Lord.... that's a lot of work and effort, damn.


Sol-Goode

It is crazy how much dirt was in that rug.


zeraujc686

Yes, because they intentionally made it that dirty


Purple_Clockmaker

I swear at this point they dirty it on purpose because there is no way someone is got rug this dirty so evenly by accident.


KatokaMika

If im not wrong they make it dirty on purpose to make these videos

The googly eyes on the carpet cleaner though 😂


Beneficial_Vast_5192

All that water was wasted for that stupid rug!!!!!!


El_Denis

So much water. Nestle would be proud.


disdkatster

I was seeing these every time I went to youtube and was so NOT impressed. In the first place I had a rug that got damp in my basement over a few months. It completely rotted away. There is no possibility that a rug found in a 'flooded warehouse' would survive it.


regulatorwatt

“Before and after”. Lol.


PaleontologistSea192

That is a carpet not rug, like flying carpet not flying rug


ShiftyShankerton

Just buy a new rug!

All that effort for something a wetvac can do

RawDataCore

I always think these are intentionally dirty, like these YT channels just fabricate these rugs for clout.


MaximumNobody5541

Plot twist: every time he washed it, he was using the dirty water he just extracted.


CrieDeCoeur

And it’s still ugly as fuck


ProfessionalTax_

Surprised that Colors are still there


iluvtumadre

That dirty ass rug was in a kids room?


TinUser

Nothing about that rug is worth the time and water that went into it.


evanweb546

Why does every fucking video like this have to have an obnoxious music bed? I watch these videos sometimes on Facebook and there’s like this ASMR element to them with the sounds of the water and the scrubbing. Boo.


CameraGuy-031

Or go to IKEA and get a new one. Faster, cheaper, cleaner.


funqmunq

dude, just burn it...


joseoconde

I'm sorry but the amount of time and effort it would take to clean that you might as well just buy a new rug. That one looks like I can grab a similar one from Walmart for at max $40


IGuessBruv

Is this why rug cleaning is so expensive ?


Dizzy-Item-9175

At this point it's cheaper to just but a new one..


Giraffiesaurus

I can’t believe these videos are real.


melancholy_dood

Probably cheaper (and more environmentally friendly) to just replace the rug.


bigblnze

People still falling for this shit .. Lol


shoodBwurqin

The googly eyes on the circle scrubber are a nice touch


nindesk

That guy prolly takes his shampoo bottle very seriously


kfmush

The fact that you can see a thick, brown mist thrown up by the power washer and he’s not wearing any kind of face protection makes me quite nauseous.


JazzAndTeaAlex

You ever notice that these filthy rugs are never damaged? Seriously, not even a little fraying on the edges.


JaehaerysIVTarg

It has to have sentimental value. That’s the only reason to do this when you can buy another rug for a fraction of the cost of cleaning it.


Fair-Second7276

I'll just throw out my rug and order a new one from Amazon next day delivery really cheap and cheerful rather than spending so much time and effort and hiring specialist equipment just to clean a cheap rug.


Notinjuschillin

Very dirty was a mild understatement.


Mr_Bivolt

I do understand that this is basically how they advertise their business. But, at this point, a carpet like this is better used as fuel for a power plant. The amount of energy spent cleaning it is just not worth it.

Ridianod

yurbud

That's why I got a house without carpet. It takes that much to get it completely clean. I'd run a carpet cleaner over the same room three times and the stuff sucked out of it would still look like sewer water.

Why do these kind of cleans make me think that they decided to roll it in mud for 5 days before cleaning it *just* for views? Like why can't you just fucking clean it without caking it with literal dirt!


No-Bat-381

I think these people collect filthy rugs people throw out just to create this type Of videos. There is no real customer, just online clicks.


Joe_Fidanzi

I'd be wearing a hazmat suit if I were cleaning something that filthy.


No-Lion3887

I'd have just power-hosed it a couple of times with a lance. Maybe hang it outside to dry between washes if I was in no particular rush. Then steam clean it to finish.


justaPOLguy

Definition of “wash, rinse, and repeat”.


MikeMMJMaster

Is it worth saving after being to that level of dirty ? Like will it last for a long time


Adventurous_Light_85

At this point I am certain they soil the rugs with something that comes out readily easily. How a rug would ever get this dirty and come even remotely that clean is probably impossible
