    A carpet beater or carpetbeater (also referred to as a rug beater, carpet whip, rug whip, clothes-beater, dust beater, carpet duster, wicker slapper, rug duster, or pillow fluffer, and formerly also as a carpet cleaner or rug cleaner) is a housecleaning tool used to beat carpets in order to shake dust and dirt out of them. Originally designed by Melville R. Bissell in 1876, it was in common use until the vacuum cleaner became widely affordable. I keep this little collection in my laundry room and have use them for taking the dust out of the carpet on my clothesline as well as chasing the raccoons out of my garbage… It works , they run! I’m sure years ago there were many uses for them that are not listed on Wikipedia. I will do a part two with a few more.
