How long can coronavirus survive on carpets?

2/15/2021

The whole world by now is very well aware of how viruses, especially coronavirus, get spread easily. The world has slowly started adjusting to the existing living conditions and has been practicing ways to live with hygiene to promote safety for everyone. 
​

However, as some of us have started returning to offices and interactions have become more common than ever therefore many homeowners often wonder- How long can the coronavirus survive on carpets?

The lifespan of the Coronavirus on Carpets?

COVID-19- The infectious virus.
​

Typically, the lifespan of any virus is dependent on certain factors like humidity, temperature, and porosity of the surfaces where it is found. The viruses commonly get spread through sneezing, coughing, and when in physical contact.

In addition to this, the environmental condition can also play a pivotal role in extending the life span of the virus.


However, research has indicated that viruses remain infectious twice more on nonporous surfaces which include metals, plastic, etc. On the contrary material like carpets, rugs and upholstery are porous which means they are somehow less hospitable to viruses than nonporous surfaces.  
​

Coronavirus is believed to be transmitted through the droplets in the air and it can exist on any kind of surface for days. It can survive on surfaces such as door handles, tables for up to 3 days or even more. 

This highlights how important it becomes to be extra cautious and prevent it from spreading.

But there is no confirmation on this yet.

As no one has an answer for how long the virus can survive on carpets. This is because there are many variables and components involved and this virus is completely new. 

Even scientists are unsure of how long it can survive on carpets whether it is a few hours or days. This consensus is based on the fact that the carpets are made up of various fibers.

As there is not enough clarity about coronavirus, so until some more authentic information is available we recommend you deal with the new stain cautiously. 
​
  • If you are concerned about coronavirus's existence on any of your material in your home, the best advice is to regularly sanitize and keep your surroundings clean.

  • While doing residential carpet cleaning, wear disposable gloves when sanitizing or cleaning the surfaces at home and discard them immediately after treating.

  • Disinfect frequently touched upon surfaces like furniture, couch, doorknobs, floors, etc.

  • Post cleaning you can launder the items as per the instruction manual of the manufacturer. If possible launder using warm water and in a suitable setting.

Schedule a professional cleaning service for your rugs, and carpets!

Treating carpets and upholstery can help you fix up the stains, but won't be too effective on the viruses. So it is best advisable to call an area rug carpet cleaning service provider to make sure your carpets and rug areas clean and safe as possible. 

Professional carpet and upholstery cleaning services will involve the use of both heat and moisture, so having your carpets and upholstery cleaned can bring you much-needed peace of mind. 
​

In such testing times, it is better to ensure safety by regular cleaning. We recommend you regularly get your upholstery professionally treated to ensure maximum care and protection.
