belgium carpets::Carpets, rugs, clothes, cushions, and bedding were hung over a clothesline or railing and the dust and dirt was beat out of them.
Typically made of wood, , cane, wicker, spring steel or coiled wire, antique rug beaters have become very collectible.
Modern massproduction versions can also be in plastic or wire.
Like the actual beating of the rugs these punishments mostly took place in the backyards, turning the beating into a somewhat public event.
They are, however, still sold in most household stores and up until the 1980s were present in almost every household.
