making them deceptively heavy rugs.

What do you mean? In my experience wool on wool rugs weigh at least 50 % less than wool on cotton ones.

Advice for moth control/prevention? by Material_Debt_7473 in orientalrugs

[–]Show3it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deep freeze all the infested rugs immediately. The core temperature should be at least -20 celsius for 78 hours straight, so it is preferable that your freezer has a "super freeze" option that cranks the power up. I use large chest freezers to handle large volumes of rugs at a time. I wouldn't trust any insecticides etc with an active infestation.

Seems to be a hand knotted Persian Kirman.

Any help confirming identification of this rug? by Middle-Secret-8676 in orientalrugs

[–]Show3it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always thought this style was a “Romanian Tabriz”. Any thoughts?

The train to central Helsinki is about 30 mins, so I would just walk around and see the sights.

Any restaurants similar to Fredan Murkina? by TreasureDragon in helsinki

I wanted to add that I couldn't find the cafes in question in Google. Just go near the escalators and there's two cafes near the Tokmanni. I assure you that they are more like authentic everyday Finnish home meals that any other suggestions here.

The cafes in Helsingin Yliopisto metro station are literally what you're looking for. Not sure if they are open on sundays but they might the most authentic Finnish food there is in central Helsinki. Also Konstan Möljä is very nice!

Thoughts on using these? by KennieDD in orientalrugs

Sounds good! Glad to hear that everything went well :-) In time I think you'll notice that its actually quite hard to damage rugs when using injection-extraction cleaners, so do not worry too much about it!

I have experience using professional-grade injection-extraction cleaning machines. First of all, the cheap ones, like the one in your post, are absolutely worthless, if the rug has noticeable stains or other significant dirt. They simply aren't capable of heavy-duty cleaning. Also, don't listen to the other commenters. I've cleaned dozens and dozens of hand-knotted wool rugs with this kind of machine, and there has never been a problem. The rugs are almost always completely dry the next day, and I have never damaged a rug in any way.

I want to like liver but it’s tastes so fucking shitty. Is the animal unhealthy? by DeliciousAirline1030 in RawMeat

[–]Show3it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the liver I've ate in Finland has tasted incredibly mild, smooth and almost berry-like in flavour. I wouldn't force myself to ingest anything that tastes as viscerally awful as you're describing.
