Five Types of Residential Carpeting to Clean

Carpeting that covers an entire room requires careful cleaning, as it sustains regular foot traffic and cannot be picked up or moved.

Residential carpets are used in various parts of the home and the car, requiring specific cleaning depending on their use and location. Carpets require cleaning to remove dirt, dust, and stains, strengthen carpet fibers, and eliminate germs. Additionally, cleaning must be carried out regularly to prevent damage to the carpet.

Places That Need Residential Carpet Cleaning

Room Carpet

Carpeting that covers an entire room requires careful cleaning, as it sustains regular foot traffic and cannot be picked up or moved. Dirty carpeting can also affect the ambiance of a room, as it may emit smells or have bacteria or dust that could irritate those with sensitivities.

Area rugs

Area rugs are often in busy areas, such as the living room or walk areas, making them susceptible to dirt and stains. Luckily, they can be moved for regular cleaning, which is essential, as the fibers become dirty, loose, and flattened from being stepped on frequently.

Home gym carpet

Carpeting in a home gym is highly susceptible to dirt and bacteria, as there are almost always shoes on the carpet, and the carpet likely absorbs large quantities of sweat, which can create odors. This carpet is especially prone to causing infection or irritation, as often people have to sit or lay on the carpet to work out, meaning there is direct skin contact with the carpet.

Stair carpeting

Stair carpeting often experiences the highest foot traffic as people move throughout the house. This carpeting must be maintained regularly to ensure the carpet's durability, revitalization of the fibers, and removal of any stains. Vacuuming is the easiest way to care for carpeting on stairs, but occasional deep cleaning is also necessary.

Doormat

A foot mat acts as a barrier between the home and the outdoor world, as people stop there to clean their shoes upon entering a home. This carpet absorbs large dirt particles and must be cleaned regularly, especially in autumn and winter when mud is more abundant. Luckily, these mats are small and easy to move for efficient cleaning.
