The LifeSpan of the Coronavirus on Carpets
By now, all of us know how coronavirus can be spread through sneezing, coughing, talking and physical contact with others. The lifespan of viruses like coronavirus also depends on various factors such as temperature, humidity and well as how porous a material is.
Although carpets are porous in nature, like wood and clothing compared to non-porous materials on which viruses last twice as long, this does not mean your carpets are completely safe.
Even though there is no assured way to actually say how long the coronavirus lasts actively on carpets, many studies do suggest that it can last anywhere between 2 hours to a few days on surfaces, making the infection probability quite likely if you don’t get your carpet deep cleaned thoroughly.
So, You May be Wondering How Can Coronavirus Lurk on Your Carpet?

Useful Tips to Keep Your Carpet Safeguarded & Clean
Practising hygiene becomes absolutely crucial when there is a virus or any illness going around, and the best way to keep your carpets clean,
- Use gloves that are the wear and throw ones when disinfecting or cleaning any surfaces in your home, including if you’re cleaning your carpet by yourself.
- Use a doormat to keep shoes clean, and don’t forget to leave your shoes at the door and disinfect them instantly (this way you won’t step with them on your carpet and the floor)
- Instead of using baby wipes for disinfecting surfaces, make sure you use alcohol-based wipes.
