Is this the guy who presoaks the rugs in mud before making the video and then makes himself look like a hero when he washes it?

It seems so.
Brian and our other rug experts here can attest that many 65 year old area rugs look merely dull, due to their ability to hide dry soil, and the lifestyles of their clients that own rugs of antique or heirloom value.
I can't imagine any rug looking like this unless it was soaked in silt after a river flood.

The oldest carpet I’ve cleaned few years ago, was 30 yrs old. Deep Bluish cut pile.
Don’t know if it had ever been cleaned. House was being sold by the family of a little old lady that owed it and apparently passed. I didn’t ask any questions.
The thing turned out great for being 30 yrs old. Pile was resurrected. Color popped. All good. Was not worn as you would expect. Maybe carpet were contructed better back then? Idk

I question these videos that are popping up. They are good for getting views but i think its all for show.

of course it is...
he figured out that the rug vids generated a lot of views and therefore potential income and started doing those exclusively on the channel
