      I agree. This looks like a set up. It is too evenly dirty. The corners are as filthy as the centre, which is unlikely. If it was that dirty, over 50 years, the dirt would act like an abrasive and that pile would not survive.

      I would also like to doubt it, even if there are no vacuum cleaners and every dirt is slipped in. To get so dirty, it would have to lie on a constantly damp clay soil for decades. And who buys an expensive carpet without at least knocking it out of the dust for decades?

    I worked in the oriental rug business for years, selling and repairing them. I cleaned many old rugs, some that were pretty dirty, and the 1st thing you do is to turn the rug over, face down, and vacuum the back with a machine that has a beater bar. This beats the dirt out of the rugs foundation, i.e. the warp and weft. If the rug is wet washed before beating the dirt out, you turn the dirt into mud which gets into the foundation and when dried, turns to dry rot.

      We have Persian rugs older than a hundred years in the house inherited from from family, only sign of age is worn and shortened fringes, and we been just vacuumed regularly and spot cleaned if someone spilled something on them.
      I am in my eighties with all the ware and tears, but not our Persian rugs brought from Iran in sixties and seventies, they are not faded or show any wear! I advise anyone who can, invest in beautiful Persian rugs!

Would like to know more background. Had the building been someone's home before it was converted into a warehouse? Did the rug belong to the original owner who left it to the new owner? Where had it been displayed? Did it meet its fate only after the warehouse had flooded? I could better imagine someone abandoning the rug and anything else inside after the building was first flooded.

      For a time in our high school years, my brother and I worked Saturdays at an Oriental rug auction (all handmade, mostly Persian) held at the Waldorf Astoria. We, along with a few other teens, were there to load/unload and handle the rugs (many being antiques) during the auction. Getting to handle them and up-close showed us just how robust and well-made those rugs were. Incredibly heavy, and dense with tight knots (observed on the undersides). What I wasn't surprised by was how the rug in the video appeared to maintain good color: The auction's rug dealers (two Persian brothers from Egypt) told us that the dyes used were created from insects and plants, with the resulting colors being more stable than artificial dyes.

      There's a reason I have 4 large authentic Persian rugs in my home. I bought them about 20 years ago while in the Kuwait and they are still in great shape, brightly colored and hardly a wear mark on them in spite of their daily use with human and pet traffic. I will have to say this though, they are no fun to clean. A standard vacuum cleaner is not sufficient to get dirt out of the tightly woven threadworks. They do have to be professionally cleaned and since they are very large, just getting them rolled up is a job in itself.
      But since that is something that we don't have to do that often, they were well worth the money.

      Who WALKS on these filthy rugs? And how do they get THIS dirty? It' like they had to be outside to become THIS extremely dirty. . But, question... again....why walk on this much dirt? And, do people use these in this condition? Just asking....because it's very puzzling and hard to understand, but I would like understand.
      It IS interesting to see the process of restoration, and how well you clean these beautiful pieces of hand woven work. Cleaning IS a talent all by itself, in many forms, but never considered these until watching you DO this. It is astounding, and you do a great job of bringing these carpets back to life.

      It has had the fringe and end guard borders removed. Notice the pattern on the outer edge at the long sides doesn't continue all the way around. Originally it did, plus it had cotton fringe. Due to wear and neglect, the fringe wore off and the rug started to come apart at each end. Someone has secured the ends so it's strong, but it's not as valuable as it once was.

      Yes, there might be hope for any throw rugs under all the hoard! Though most wall to wall needs to be ripped out because it is terribly filthy, and often hides bugs, rodent feces, and even rotten floor boards underneath it. Best to rip out wall to wall and determine the state of the flooring. But yeah, if there are any loose rugs like this you can take them to a cleaner like this guy and rejuvenate them if they are good quality to withstand the cleaning treatment.

It may well matter how they are stored, if in piles they wouldn't have dried out and rotted but I've seen rugs hung off racks. If that was the case, the water could drain and they dry out and there would be air space in between each rug so they (and the silt) could dry out and they wouldn't rot.

    My husband bought a couple of persian carpets. Said to b over 50yrs old.
    They were so heavy i couldnt move them. Got a new super vacuum cleaner.
    Filled 3 bags of dirt from one carpet.
    It was so funny. We had a Doberman who go excited when anyone came. He would run to the door n race back excitedly. The carpet never moved.
    Then after an afternoon of vacuuming. He rushed to the door n the carpet took off with him at such a speed he was in shock. Next day, found him galloping in one direction flying on the carpet then pushed it back in place n then galloped the other direction. He had such fun. So i then placed it on one end of the room n it now gave him about 12 mtrs to slide.
    It was so funny to see his fun.
    His new game did not harm the rug or the tiles. When i came home n the carpet wasnt in its place, i always laughed when greeting him. He wld run to where the pile of carpet was all piled up. So pleased with with himself. He eventual was happy just to make it slide anywhere.

    There is a difference between never been washed and never been vacuumed.
    Poor rug. Someone mistreated it.
    I’m glad it is getting attention now.
    That’s a gorgeous rug, you did a great job cleaning it.

    Wow! Yes, mesmerizing! Have a 16×20 beautiful, my ex's dog thought it was grass, she was blind! Compared to this one very clean but haven't had the space to use it in about 10 + years. Just didn't think being wool could take water, wrong! I guess that's why they charge so much to clean. Awesome to see those colors pop thorough after dirt and years, what workmanship! In awe! Excellent video!

    I was 15-16 years old in 1979 and I helped a friend doing this work on some Saturdays for Home Carpet Cleaning in Cambridge. Did pick ups in the early mornings then the boss would do the cleaning and my friend (Rupin) and I used a massive squeegee machine to rid excess water then hung them in tack boards with pulleys to dry in a massive drying room 3-4 stories high. The boss had a method of drying so they didn’t crisp as the temperature varied with the height of the hang. Sometimes the van had over $150,000 of rugs in it while we were on route. Never saw anything like this though. And yes, those guys were Armenian!
