I used to live in Russia and people do something like this, even in the big cities. They hang rugs outside in the dead of winter and beat them with a carpet beater (looks like a massive fly swatter). Then they rub handfuls of snow into the stains and beat the snow off. According to folk wisdom, this works as long as you "don't use yellow snow!" :) Hi!

Susan, that rug cleaning technique is an old, old one that dates back to colonial times. It really was meant for braided rugs and light fluffy snow. The light fluff was supposed to fit into all the nooks and crannies on a braided rug which you were then supposed to sweep off. voila! clean rug! I think I read that in one of the Sturbridge Village history books. lol! Susan, that rug cleaning technique is an old, old one that dates back to colonial times.
