Yeesh, and I thought it was gross when I looked at what our carpet cleaner dragged out of our (seemingly not very dirty) carpets recently. That carpet must have felt disgusting to walk on.

The boss was disappointed in the uppermost corner of carpet on that carpeted wall. Perhaps just installing a tack strip there might be a good idea, and also make human grease easier to clean in that spot.

I miss that spacey carpet pattern that you used to see in a lot of spaces in the 80s.
