What is the strangest thing you've ever washed in a car wash?
We have those faux wood floors in the living room. I have a 12 X 6 area rug in there that’s faux Persian—The kind you get at Walmart for $60 or so. I got this one for $5 at a garage sale in Oklahoma several years ago. Well, it’s been through five years of DOGS and just….messes. It’s rained like a banshee this spring and early summer, with the dogs tracking mud in, and laying on the rug with their wet dog smell, PLUS Dakota is shedding like banshee. Piles and piles of fur everywhere. For the last two weekends I’ve been on a mission to to GIT MAH HOUSE CLEAN!!! I pulled the rug out yesterday and hung it over the fence to “air out.” I spent and about an hour with the shop vac today trying and trying to pull all the dog hair and whatever else that I could out out of the rug.
After watching me for a while Rick says, “Why don’t we take it to the car wash?”
It’s a testament to how invaluable the rug is that I jumped on it instantly!
So we did! I assumed we’d just frow it on the ground, but Rick pointed out these heavy duty clips that they have for holding floor mats. So we hung it up and pressured washed it. It was gratifying to see the dirt running out in droves.
Anyway, it worked like a charm! It’s drying outside now. I’m going to be so much happier with that rug for at least…..five days.
That’s the strangest thing I’ve washed at a car wash, if you don’t count washing grandkids at the same time as you wash the car. How about you?
