Greg Bobinski decided that his brand new vacuum cleaner needed a real test drive to see if it was getting value for money.
He then decided to give the carpet from his local Wetherspoon in Otley a try and was amazed at how much dirt and grime his new purchase collected.
Greg, who works as a support worker in his spare time and is also an artist and comedian, shared the test on a TikTok channel that went viral, with locals seemingly confused by his antics.
To make sure the vacuuming was worth every penny, Greg didn’t just clean a small section of the pub, but made sure to get every nook and cranny in.

The Wetherspoons staff didn’t mind the help either, as Greg said the manager had given him permission to tidy up.
After he finished collecting dust, Greg emptied the contents of the vacuum and showed it off in another video on social media.
As you would expect, there was plenty herdirt and other random bits of junk.
But the test was not in vain: Greg revealed that he wants to make a work of art from the contents of the vacuum cleaner and frame it.
“Just as gross as I thought,” one person commented on the video.
“Please come vacuum the spoons near me, the floor stinks,” wrote a second.
Others praised Greg for cleaning the carpet, with one saying, “He’s doing God’s work.”
Another agreed: “Not all heroes wear capes.”
Why do pubs have such strange carpets?
Visitors to the ‘Primark of pubs’ have long wondered why the chain has such colourful and varied carpets.
And now Jon Randall, head of property development and acquisitions at Wetherspoon, has revealed why the carpet is so colourful.
He previously revealed that the pub likes to put emphasis on the design of its pubs, to invest in every respect and especially the renovation.
He said: “All of our new pub carpets are individually designed, some with details that reflect aspects of the buildings. history or local environment.”
However, fans of the chain noted that the carpet may have another reason for the unusual patterns: to hide dirt.
“They have these weird rugs to hide dirt,” someone commented on Greg’s clip.
