cleaner taken thread out of carpet

[uptheauntie]

one of our carpets is a little loose under the door bar/threshold thing. It is has been like that for a little while and needs pushed back under the threshold, which our builder is going to do (we have had a renovation done and it is on the snagging list).

I came home today and a thread about 50 cm long is gone from the edge of the carpet into the hallway. The carpet is thick thread, so it is really really noticeable. The carpet is ruined effectively and will need replaced.

The cleaner must have done it whilst hoovering over the threshold. Which I never do given it is a little loose (you can't fail to notice it is coming out from under the threshold). But she has failed to mention it to me!

I can see these things happen, I am not quite sure who is at fault here, but AIBU to think she should have at least mentioned it to me?

YGALF- Excellent idea to introduce a pattern. After creating the stripes, she could pull threads from the other side to create a checked effect, if preferred.

Or would that be back to square one?

We had a thread pull on the bedroom carpet by the door - a single thread - went about 20cm into the hallway, was really noticeable - kids had done it somehow - playing at pushing toy cars down the stairs (bad, bad mummy letting them play on the stairs - I know.. but they were having fun and they were 10 and 11 at the time)

Anyhow - we solved it with a suede brush - brush into the thread gap from both sides and they "magically" felt together.

I'm still a bit woolly about the details but I think I'd come down 80/20 in favour of the cleaner.

This is a socialist site, most people would be on the side of your staff.

Did someone forget to send me that memo?

Oh, come on, Luis - we're a bunch of revolutionaries here.

I'm not entirely sure revolutionaries are allowed Wilton. Could anyone advise?

Best thread, bar none.

I would have to defer to Chandon, our resident political expert.

I nominate this thread for Classics!!!!!

Indeed Landrover

A classically woven tale of woe that began with a 50cm yarn and knitted itself into philosphical musings about political leanings.

OP where have you gone? Are you busy, do you have plans today? Or are you at a bit of a loose end.

Wow.

That's right, everyone.

Pile in and carpet the OP on her lack of infinitives.

How true, Luis - an episode truly representative of life's rich tapestry.

It's had us all in stitches.

However, it seems to have needled some and caused tempers to fray.

Have a word with the cleaner, go for it. Carpet Diem.

To blame the cleaner is just loopy.

Be kind, but firm - tuft love.

But when does the carpet get its needs replaced?

i need my needs replacing. With things.

You're right to defend the carpet! Why should it be walked all over?

Carpets unite! Don't be trodden underfoot.

I can't believe you're breaking the talk guidelines SO BLATANTLY.

HQ will just sweep it under the carpet.

I wonder if the cleaner that unravelled the thread that caused the thread about a thread is on MN and has realised that the thread is about the thread that she unthreaded IYSWIM
