  1. They did not have carpets. They had rugs, which they took outside and beat. They would hang them up and beat on them, getting the dust and dirt out.

  2. You poor thing. From what I can remember, a lot of people used brooms…..yes brooms. Or they would take them outside and hang then over a rope or something and beat on them to get the dirt out of them or just shake them outside. I know this is wall to wall and that would be impossible.

  3. Carpets Weren’t wall to wall there was a 2 -3 foot border of floor boards around the edge normally painted or stained

    The carpets were hung out side and beaten to death by the maid. If you could afford a carpet you could afford a maid

  4. grab the broom and start sweeping, i know it is a pain but i had to do it when i first moved out on my own and yes it works
