Oh! I've been soaking/stripping an area rug since last night (which I had powerwashed for *hours* in like June and then rolled up when it was dry and it's been standing in the corner ever sense) and I can't believe how much crap was still in it
the first tub full of water looked like coffee. Second was more like tea. Third wasn't *as bad* but it's still pulling murky water. Hoping another tub full or two will be enough for it to pull clear (or mostly clear at least). We're the 3rd owners and it's decades old, bought it from a lady last year at a yard sale who had had it under her dining room table for years after her mother had passed, and the mother had it for a long time before that. Wish I had a good before pic but didn't take one in June and didn't have space to lay it out last night lol.
