  1. One. Where the hell was this rug to get that dirty? Two. If they turned a $1 rug into a $100,000 rug, that’s less work than I do in my yard every fall. LOL

    1. Thomas, I looked at the queued videos and there were several that were in similar condition due to sewerage pipe backups or floodwater damage. This looked to be pretty similar.

      The $1 to $100,000 was probably the insurance company writing off the carpet and selling it as salvage. IMO, the $1 to $100,000 is just click bait, but the carpet was certainly bought for pennies on the dollar and was probably worth quite a lot.

      Then again, maybe it was a $100,000 carpet from a fine old house on a river that had 6 inches of river mud on it for a week after the water finally went down.

      Who knows? On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog. The cleaning was real, though.

      My questions are, where is this being done? Is the water going into a storm drain and not a sanitary sewer? Is anyone having a look at the wastewater discharge from this facility? Do the catfish in the river two blocks over have 3 eyes, 6 legs, and glow in the dark?

  2. After seeing that, I now realize some people keep their cows, pigs, and chickens in the living area.
    Probably died of hoof and mouth disease ?

  3. Some of the comments at the Youtube link allege it’s fake. But it’s fascinating in the classic clothes-in-the-dryer laundromat genre.

  4. 95% of restoration videos on YouTube are fake.

    Rug cleaning, car detailing, rusty tools, sea turtles. All fake.

    1. ??? 95 percent? Really, Bunny? In God we trust. All others bring data.

      I have restored several tools from the mid to late 1800s into the early 1900s. A hobby of mine is woodworking with hand tools from that period. I can’t afford the pristine examples and I wouldn’t use one if I did have it in mint condition. I buy *ahem* less than desirable examples on the cheap and restore them to perfectly good, usable, and really nice-looking old tools. (I just finished restoring a ’60s vise from Western Auto. A gift from my brother’s junk pile. That took a good 20 hours.)

      I’ve had to make a couple of handles from tree branches for a hatchet and a draw knife because the handle forms cannot be bought anywhere anymore. Handles can be the hard part. Rust is often just a few chemicals and a lot of elbow grease.

      I will agree that 95% of the videos are misleading. a) It ain’t as easy as it looks ii) Some of the handwork takes hours 3) Sometimes special equipment is needed that isn’t part of most people’s basement or garage shop. iv) That half hour video is generally many, many, MANY hours of work.

          1. I’ve never run across any of those sea turtle videos, Bunny. Good grief, are they ever obviously fake.

            BTW, yes, if you had used ‘most’ instead of 95%, I wouldn’t have questioned the assertion about fake videos.

            I’ve seen a few of the gun restorations and I don’t see why they would be fake. I’d just never fire one of those restored guns unless it was maybe, MAYBE a 20% power load.

          2. I appreciate the correction H.R.

            I work with too many young people all day. Wild exaggeration just becomes the norm.
            At least I didn’t say “literally ”
            Thanks.

          1. That’s why Bunny said that ‘most’ would have been a better choice, and I agree.

            ‘Most’ can be anywhere from 51% to 99%. Let the reader decide where to draw the line.

            BTW, it’s 93.6% of quoted statistics that are made up on the spot, Greg ;o)

            (The wee bit after the decimal makes it sound more authoritative, don’t you think?)

    2. “That’s Hillary’s White House office carpet.
      Poor Vince.”

      Poor Vince? Heck! Poor carpet cleaners. You think they are still around to talk about that cleaning job?
