Carpet Beater

[Rooo]

As the title says, I am after one of these Bamboo whatseethings that look like a big tennis racket, that you beat carpet rugs with.

No smart remarks please I 'm sick of my wife using my head for this purpose.

I think they are called Mattetklopper and I'm sure the other half will know what I'm talking about. May have to import one from Holland.

Smarty I'm sure I have seen them somewhere in Thailand.

[Rooo]

This is what they look like.

i am pretty sure there was a thread before about this? . have you tried Nathon, or the place that cleans carpets?

[Virt]

People still use these kinds of things?

I think the last time i saw one in use was like 35 years ago when my grandma beat the hell out of her carpets in the yard.

Think she had one maded out of willow wood but here is a recipe to make one out of a gardenhose and a wooden handle.

Get to work

How old are you?

They are called vacuum cleaners now, and you plug them in to what we call electic socket, you can find them on the wall of your house, about 30cm up from the floor

[samuijimmy]

That went through my mind too..... plug a vacuum into the socket!

If you cannot find one of these things, and really want to beat your carpet, tie three pieces of 1/2 inch hose together and whack away! Use duck tape to make the handle!

There's a carpet cleaning place in Nanton???? Where?

electic

Nanton

I am now confused.

Who said anything about cleaning carpets? I just want to buy one of them, perhaps I have a fetish.

Penguin tape eh??? where does one find that? Knowing minds want to know...... man oh man..... things are too quiet on Samui!

Guess we had better not ask what the purpose for the carpet beater is for!

[Virt]

Rooo if you haven't found one in a while i can bring one from Denmark when we come to Samui on Vacation July 2-22 if you still need one and is on the island that period.

Found a few places where they are for sale here.

Apperantly your "fetisch" is widely spread

[Rooo]

Thank you for the offer Virt, but I would not impose on you. I have seen them in Thailand, driving to Bangkok next week, will pick one up.

Thank you again.
