weekend #35 photos
In Finland some people wash their carpets every summer.
I googled ‘mattopyykillä’ (washing carpets) – almost 3.000 pictures here.
Clean carpet shadows 
Have a relaxing weekend!

Raikas tuoksu tulvahtaa näistä reippaista kuvista!

Vaikkei Mäntysuopaa enää suositellakaan matonpesuun niin kyllä se siellä vielä tuoksui!
Ihanaa suomalaista eksotiikkaa♥ Tulee mieleen lapsuus ja menot äidin kanssa mattopyykille järvelle.

Juu muistetaan
itse en ole vuosiin enää mattopyykillä käynyt…
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!
very cool. i have a lot of carpets that could use cleaning!!! have a wonderful weekend!!!! xx

Tuo matonpesujuttu on yksi asia mitä kaipaan Suomesta.Sitä oli sekä kiva nähdä että kokea.Aina kun kerron tuosta perinteestä ihmiset hämmästyvät-

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…

Would you be willing to show us the dirty carpet shadows as well?

That’s a lot of rugs!
Come see my shadow
That’s an intriguing sight – all those carpets enjoying a water view! A great line up of shadows!

I have never seen washing carpet. In Texas we have it cleaned. I need to just get some new.

A great way to wash the rugs and the sea air probably makes them smell great! Great photos.
Happy Sunday!
love that last shot – how fascinating!
Any chance you can come and clean our carpets too?
Have a great week.

That last shot is wonderful. I remember my grandmother beating her rugs outside on her clothes line.

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.

You have made carpet cleaning look beautiful! I especially like the third photo — the bright colors against the grey blue water and light blue sky.
Happy Sunday!

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.

I assume the carpet washing is done in fresh water, not the sea, right? Love the last shot espec.

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!!!
