What’s Lurking in Your Carpet? (And How We Get It Out)

Uncover the hidden dirt, allergens, and bacteria living in everyday carpets — and how

professional cleaning makes a huge difference.

You vacuum regularly. You take your shoes off at the door. So your carpets are clean... right?

Well — maybe not as clean as you think.

At Chews-Us Carpet Cleaning, we’ve spent years helping Salisbury’s homes and businesses get their carpets properly clean — and you’d be amazed at what’s hiding just beneath the surface.

In this post, we’re lifting the rug (literally) to reveal what might be lurking in your carpets — and how our professional cleaning service gets rid of the grime you can’t see.

🧫 1. Dirt, Dust & Grit

Even the cleanest homes collect microscopic particles of dirt and grit. These dry particles settle deep into the carpet fibres and can’t always be removed with a vacuum — especially in high-traffic areas like hallways, living rooms, and offices.

Why it matters:That trapped grit acts like sandpaper, wearing down your carpet over time and making it look tired and matted. Professional cleaning lifts it out, extending the life of your carpets.

🤧 2. Allergens (Like Pollen, Pet Dander & Dust Mites)

If you or your family suffer from allergies, your carpet could be part of the problem.

Carpets act like giant filters, trapping allergens like pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. Over time, these build up and get disturbed every time someone walks across the floor.

Why it matters:Regular professional carpet cleaning removes built-up allergens, helping to reduce sneezing, itching, and other allergic reactions — especially helpful in homes with pets or asthma sufferers.

🦠 3. Bacteria & Germs

Yes, carpets can harbour bacteria — especially if food, drink, or bodily fluids have ever been spilled. In commercial spaces, it’s even more likely, with foot traffic from dozens (or hundreds) of people each day.

Why it matters:Bacteria can cause unpleasant odours and contribute to poor indoor air quality. Our high-heat extraction process and eco-safe cleaning solutions help kill bacteria and sanitise your floors.

🐾 4. Pet Stains & Odours

We love pets as much as you do — but there’s no denying they can leave their mark on your carpets. Pet hair, muddy paw prints, and the occasional accident all add up.

Why it matters:If left untreated, pet stains can soak into the carpet backing and even subfloor, causing lingering smells. We use specialised enzymes and treatments to break down odours and stains at the source.

💧 5. Spills, Stains & “Mystery Marks”

From red wine to rogue coffee cups, everyday life leaves its traces. And sometimes... you're not even sure what that mark is.

Why it matters:Our professional stain treatments tackle the toughest marks without damaging your carpet fibres — and we always test first for safe results.
