<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 63322, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp; I have had three old old old Orientials one which was thread bare in spots. I was unable to part with it. I even turned it over to have a little more life in it. When we moved into our new house (circa 1869) my darling wife tossed the lifeless carpet into the trash while I was away on a conference. She had replaced the worn carpet with a new Oriental (made in Belgium yesterday). I got home home at 3AM and stepped on the new carpet. I jumped thinking I stepped on our cat. It was so horrible within a week it was at a neighbors house. My wife never ever tried to buy a carpet or a rug again. One I still have one as a front of the washer and drier. It never wore out just got thinner and thinner. The third went to a good friend and was tossed when he died. I have had three older rugs and two brand new ones.</p><p>I now have 8 Orientials on my tile floors plus two hand crafted rugs and a hand knotted Edward Fields rug. Give me an old Oriential any day. Now I need a good old fashioned rug cleaner like I had in Brooklyn. He had large concrete ponds to wash and drain the rugs in. Also three story open line hanging to dry. All I have around here is some idiot with a machine to clean carpets.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
