    1. For cleaning out large rugs. You drape them over and spank ‚em to get dust and hair out.

      It’s a “mattoteline” for storing rugs to dry. Pretty common to see publicly for apartment buildings.

    3. As far as i know you use them to clean carpets and/or floor mats. I’ve seen lots of people use them for that. Is it the intended purpose? I have no idea.

      ***Did someone mention it is for dusting carpets yet??***

      (Fun fact, these are mandatory equipment for apartment buildings)

      These are things which we all have on our yards all over the finland sold by one goodbrothernetwork company and nobody uses them. These oncrease our taxes 1%

      Ah, a Finnish classic. It’s when you want to use the rug beater for something other than hitting your children with. In that case you hang your rugs on that thing, give them a mighty whack (bonus points if you make kids watch so they know what happens if they misbehave) and then leave the rugs out to air for a bit.

      That is the thing, that every child (and some adults) have tried to lick when its cold.

      I dare you, try it 😂

      Since it’s harmful for the carpets, we only beat our children in freezing temperatures with that famous mattopiiska. It toughens them.

    9. When I was young (late 80s), we played ‚basketball‘ on these. That space between the two topmost bars was the ‚basket‘.

      Yes, sometimes adults were mistakenly using them for dusting and airing carpets, but the correct usage was, and is for ‚basketball‘. Any damn adult claiming otherwise is a dinosaur, or at least was when I was a teen.

      It’s a device for teaching kids to listen to their parents. Especially the metal ones. So when your mom tells you not to hang in the upper bits, even though it’s fun, do listen to her. Do not… I repeat, DO NOT hang there anyway until your grip slips and you fall, and your legs go between the spokes and you hit your gentler bits hard on the metal.

      Do not ask me how I know.
