Hello people of this community, I know that I usually upload videos here, but... I'm ugly and better not to go on camera (jajajajajajaj I'm kidding, I just didn't want to edit a video today). As the title says, the post is about cleaning, since it was time to clean the carpet and... there was a new tool in the apartment (a vacuum cleaner that I stole hahahahahahaha nah lies, it's my sister's, I imagine in some post will come out and tell you how it is).

As I'm going to talk about carpet cleaning, first I have to say, because the room has one all over the floor (which I love). It all started more than 40 years ago (which is how old the apartment is and when my grandfather bought it new), when for a reason that I forget, my late grandmother sent her to put carpet to the rooms, there have been as far as I remember a total of 3 or 4 vacuum cleaners ... but as life in the apartment was hard, they seemed prisoners (with scars of war, although they were new hahahaha, my grandmother always threw them and treated them badly, in general everything. But that's a story for another day).

The last one was never found (possibly my grandmother pawned it, or something similar, because there is only the memory). A few days ago my sister and my brother-in-law bought one and the truth is that it is a relief for allergies.

La última que había, no se supo su paradero (posiblemente mi abuela la empeño, o algo similar, porque solo existe el recuerdo). Hace unos días mi hermana junto a mi cuñado compraron una y la verdad que es un alivio para las alergias.

I have talked about many things, except how the carpets were cleaned in the rooms (I'm coming, don't despair). The technique my grandfather used was a shovel and a brush to wash clothes, something that lifts a lot of accumulated dust. My sister came up with the idea of using a damp dustpan (of course after swallowing dirt with the previous method). The 2 just were a good way to clean (go ahead and write it down) but after a year of living here, it was kind of annoying.

Applying my grandfather's technique, one ended up with tired arms, and hands full of black dust, although I say that I applied more force than he does (but the idea was to get as much dirt out as possible, so it was worth it). The part of the coleto, is like the one used on a floor (without carpet of course), but with a drier cloth, because if we use it too wet, the carpet would take a long time to dry and it can generate bad smell (so be careful with that).

If you think that the dishwasher came out clean, well... the water was just as black as cleaning the whole apartment, even though it is only one room.

Nowadays, it is rare to see houses with carpets in the rooms, besides it is very expensive. I have been in many houses / apartments and I can say that this is the only one where there is this type of material on the floors. When I have my own house, I will possibly make the investment of putting carpet in the bedrooms or in a study room, it is not a lie when I tell you that I like it (hahahahahahahah).

PS: I'm not in the pictures, because I'm ugly, but my hands are showing.
