thinkin’ bout cleaning in the context of interior design (floor). thinkin’ bout wall-to-wall carpeting as requiring vacuum cleaners

thinkin’ bout’ the trend (since 80s loft chic?) back to hardwood or concrete, at least narrow-grouted tile, in relation to the decline of domestics and homemakers

thinkin about how much the shag trend had to do with cleaning vs. synthetic fibers vs. manufacturing techn OH MY LORD the Wikipedia article on “Carpet” is atrocious, it’s 2017 and that is shameful
