How do you clean a white rug???

I was impatient and didn't want to wait for a professional to come and clean it, so I slung it over the swing set, added White King to the high pressure hose thingy we have. I blasted it and check this out! Brand spanking new. Dried over night it's that bloody hot here. Now, what …

More gardening. We added bark chips and rocks. We also planted 20 pink Camellia’s down here. Have ordered 25 conifers for the other side of the house, but they won’t be here until next week.

    i do this every summer with my area rugs, at the beginning and at the end, makes a HUGE difference! mine arent white tho, i pressure hose, shampoo generously by hand then pressure rinse. what comes out is just freaky sometimes.

    Well you learn something everyday! I would never have thought about adding bleach to the high pressure cleaner & doing it that way!!!Good going.
    Your landscaping is looking really nice. I love camelia's, my MIL used to have them at her old house & I was forever picking them & putting them in vases at home.
    They always brighten up the dreariest place.

    Hi Katrina,

    You do sound as though you have had a busy couple of days! Planting must be in the Australian air….yesterday, I planted 27 box hedges, pruned some more box hedges in another part of the garden and weeded that as well. Feels good though, don't ya reckon??? Anyways, if I don't call in again 'till 2010 have a great New Years.

    Your house looks lovely! I adore camelias – it is going to look so lovely having them along your fence line, especially when w=they are all in bloom.
