Ha ha Jim, this looks like good exercise and yes I used to play tennis three times a week, but two years ago I had to give it a rest.Incidentally, in Turkey they used to give their carpets a regular beating and leave them to hang in the fresh air. Its the best way to keep carpets cleamn imo.

Gerry.. you're just the man for the job... weren't you a ferocious tennis player? ;0)

No Sarah, its not antique.  Its a rather large and quite thick therefore heavy pile(a Bigar Persian) and it requires rolling up and takes two people to carry.It should be beaten well every few years and left in the fresh air, rather than wet shampooing - so I'm told.

Cor, Gerry, sounds like you have an antique carpet.  I need a modern cleaning machine which soaks then sucks up the dirty water leaving the carpet fresh clean and nearly dry.  Anyone advise?  Thanks.

Is there a local firm that will take up one's carpet, take it away and give it a good beating and hanging in the sunlight or breeze for a few hours, then return and lay yourcarpet back in its original place?
