I'm from Finland, and amused to see this picture and all the discussion about this! :) It's such a common thing for us.
The reason we clean up the rugs in the snow is that when it's -20 degrees celsius, the dust bugs etc die in the freezing temperature, and if your rug is made of wool, the snow cleans it up itself. No chemicals needed. However, we used to do it only once or twice a winter, not every Sunday!
Same thing with a woollen sweater; you dont need to wash it - just take it outside for a half an hour (when its freezing) and/or cover it with snow and it's automatically clean and smells really nice and fresh!
