If not for good looks, what do we clean our carpets for? Why do we buy and install them, in the first place? Isn't a carpet more of a liability to us than an asset? Think of how much money we have to spend to buy it. And how about the regular expense and time spent on carpet cleaning?
There must be something about carpets that make it very a popular fixture in buildings, cars, homes, halls, etc. There even is the "red carpet" used in welcoming very important guests and royalty into an event.
Aladdin's magic carpet is a different story altogether. If there was such a carpet in real life, everybody would have wanted to own one. Then we wouldn't have to worry about expense on petrol, oil and other transport maintenance costs. It may even have a self-cleaning capability feature, wouldn't you think? But Aladdin's magic carpet belongs to a fairy tale. Real-file carpets have to be bought, installed and cared for properly.
Going back to our predicament on the significance of carpets, what is it in the carpet that we have to own and use them? It is not clear in written history how carpets began as a utilitarian fixture. But as these carpets came from and were used by early civilisations, only reaching Western Europe with the opening of trade routes in the 17th century, it could have been used as covering on the sand floor inside Arab desert tents where they are believed to have originated from. The same material was also excellent as inner walls under a canvass roof as they were artfully designed/"embroidered". That gives us an inkling of the vanity of man cloaked in aesthetic art.
Our own reasons for using the carpet may have been the same reasons why the carpet was invented and used by its first owners. Aside from the cosy atmosphere artfully designed interiors render a room or hall, carpets also served as a shield against the cold on floors and walls. They feel good and warm especially under bare feet. Besides, we cannot deny that a room's beauty is enhanced with either or both floor and wall carpeting.
So, with or without knowledge of its history and origin, the modern earthling loves having carpets around. Man has to put up with the responsibility of maintaining the cleanness and good looks that comes with owning carpets. After all, who wants to have shabby-looking, worn-out and smelly carpets?
Clean your carpets and have them regularly serviced by professional carpet cleaners. Do remember that the look and condition of your possessions reflect the kind of person you are.
Have a nice day!
