Foot Traffic

Traffic patterns emerge gradually over the course of time. This occurs when the carpet's initial protective coating wears off, leaving the fibers open to attack by dirt, dust, and even the hair of your pet. If the carpet is not cleaned regularly, the fibers will become frayed, and the dirt particles will become deeply embedded in the carpet.

What is the recommended replacement schedule for the carpet in your home?

Even after only three to five years, carpet fibers frequently become matted and frayed. It is reasonable to anticipate that a carpet will only last between 5 and 15 years after it has been installed; therefore, if your carpet is beginning to look a little worn, it is probably time to replace it. The stairwells, hallways, and living areas are typically the parts of a building that show the most signs of wear and tear.

How do I maintain the cleanliness of the carpet in my hallway?

In addition to bringing in the experts, regular vacuuming is something that should be done in high-traffic areas. We recommend doing so two to three times per week. In between professional carpet cleaning appointments, you should do this to help remove any dry debris that may have accumulated. This will prevent any dirt, dust, or other particles from becoming deeply embedded in the carpet fibers.

In areas where there is a lot of foot traffic, what can I put on my carpet?

A wool rug is highly desirable due to the fact that it is both long-lasting and comfortable to walk barefoot on. Wool carpeting isn't only comfortable to walk on, but it also resists stains better than other types of carpeting.

What kind of maintenance is required for heavily traveled areas of carpet?

A mixture of water, vinegar, and baking soda can be used to effectively remove almost any kind of stain that is caused by high foot traffic from your carpet. This method is significantly less hazardous than the majority of commercial carpet cleaning processes, and it is also significantly more cost-effective. It is extremely annoying to have to clean up accidental spills or stains on the carpet in one's home.

How can carpets that have been worn down by high foot traffic be repaired?

To get things rolling, start by applying a light spray of water or ice cubes directly to the areas that have been flattened. You should give the cubes some time to melt while you leave them sitting on top of the matted carpet fibers. When dealing with larger areas, sprinkle or spritz the carpet fibers with lukewarm water and then brush the fibers afterward.
