carpet washing – at the beach in Finland

 

weekend #35 photos

 

In Finland some people wash their carpets every summer.

I googled ‘mattopyykillä’ (washing carpets) – almost 3.000 pictures here.

  1. Hi Blogitse! It has been a long absence, but things have been a bit hard: father 95, mother almost 91 doing radiotherapy, wife broke right elbow and I’m consuming some much needed holidays to take care of all this…

    Just some carpet washing to be the cherry on top… 😉

    As far as Blogtrotter Two is concerned, it seems nobody is interested in St. Kitts, so maybe I should try something else. Anyhow, enjoy and have a great week or better a vacation, if still available!!!

  2. You no idea how much I love these images. Actually, last night, I thought that it was time to clean the carpet inside my living room. I don’t have a beach nearby, but that’s okay.

  3. Heippa my friend.

    This is so cool. Finns are ready for winter, huh? Yeah… we really need to pamper carpets too.

    Great shots as usual.

    Happy SSS.

  4. The sea breezes give the now clean carpets a fresh scent, reminding us of the summer as they keep the cold floors a little bit warmer in the winter – that hint of warmer days helps to warm our hearts a bit on those cold days…

  5. Mattojenpesupaikat ovat lisääntyneet hyvin Hgissä, niitähän ei enää rakenneta meren rannalle. Viljeslyspalstojen vieressä näyttää olevan noita pesupaikkoja, isot altaat, veden puristimet ja hyvin rekkejä kuivattaa.

    • Luin jostain pesuohjeista ettei mattoja kannata pestä kovalla juuriharjalla koska kuluttaa kuituja eikä Mäntysuopa ole hyvä koska sitä jää mattoon vaikka kuinka huuhtelisi…Mutta eikö se tuoksu ole yksi syy miksi niitä itse pestään!? 🙂
      Ihan hyvä ettei turhia likavesiä mene vesistöön sellaisenaan mutta mutta…ei mattopyykki sentään sellaisia jämiä veteen jätä että hysteerisyyteen on tarve.
      Mattopyykki on monelle kesän kohokohta! 🙂
