In the past there have been no vacuum cleaners, there were large place mats imported from Persia (now Iran). Once the living area carpet turned dirty with many dirt, they were dragged out of the house and thrown over a what we generally known as a wash line and presented a firm beating with the carpet beater created from bamboo sticks imported from Jakarta the Capital of Indonesia, to get the dirt off, then positioned back to the living room floor to enjoy again.
