I have gone native
I often see Spanish women with their carpets in the Springtime hanging over their balconies. I think they beat the dust out of them and let them air before putting them back in their houses.
Well it is a beautiful sunny day and I have woken up with tons of energy so I’ve decided to go native with my own little twist.
I’ve got out my huge lounge shaggy white rug and hung it over my balcony. The rug was white, now it is more of a grey and I haven’t beaten it, I’ve doused it with bucket upon bucket of water. I added to the bucket lots and lots of washing machine detergent. Then I scrubbed it really hard with one of those brushes that you can use on your kitchen floor or a horse if you have one.
I then decided the results weren’t happening fast enough, the rug still looked grey. So I’ve added to the bucket some bubble bath. It will at least smell of green tea rather than…..well that which will not be mentioned.
I have now got bored of bubble bath and have added some domestos bleach. I am also looking at my daughter’s school tippex bottle and wondering if it may have another use. The tips of the shaggy rug and a bit of tippex? Or how about a French manicure?
I still have a rug, and am just about to check it hasn’t gone yellow or done a runner with Aladdin. I also need to check my roof tiles as I’ve dislodged a few when I threw it over the balcony.
I’ll let you know how the rug gets on. If it turns whiter and also if it ever dries out!
