How To Maintain Carpet In High Traffic Areas

Carpeting adds comfort and durability to your home, but it also requires regular cleaning, especially in high traffic areas. If these areas are not properly maintained, they can become worn and uneven, leading to the need for early replacement. Deep carpet cleaning can help protect your investment by refreshing high traffic areas, giving your carpets a more even appearance, and extending their lifespan. Consider deep carpet cleaning to keep your carpets looking their best and lasting longer.

Understanding the High Traffic Areas in Your Home

The high traffic areas of your carpet that require extra attention will depend on the patterns of use in your home and the presence of children and pets. These areas may show signs of wear such as dark spots, gray lanes, flattened or matted fibers, or a contrast in color and texture near the walls versus the middle of the area. If you notice these signs, deep carpet cleaning may be necessary to prevent permanent unevenness. High traffic areas in a home may include hallways, stairwells, in front of couches and beds, in front of closet doors, and children and pets’ play areas.

How Deep Carpet Cleaning Refreshes High Traffic Areas

High traffic areas of carpeting in your home do not have to look worn and damaged. A deep carpet cleaning can significantly improve the appearance by removing dirt and grime that has accumulated in the fibers. This cleaning process also prevents soil from causing excess friction that can damage delicate carpet fibers. 

The Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process offered by Citiwide Chem-Dry in Pittsburgh and the surrounding area can restore the look and feel of overused carpets. This process does not use large amounts of water, allowing your carpets to dry within a few hours rather than days. It also uses carbonation and a detergent-free cleaning solution instead of harsh soaps, so you don’t have to worry about residue attracting more dirt. 

For best results, we recommend deep cleaning high traffic areas of your carpet at least 1-2 times per year. In between these deep cleanings, be sure to regularly vacuum to remove surface dirt and maintain an even texture.
