Carpets have been around for centuries or even before that in some prehistoric form like tiger skins or animal hides. A carpet basically is something that you lay on the floor and either sit, walk or sleep on.  The modern carpet is slightly different and is this beautiful ornate item that is a ‘showpiece in itself’ and sometimes holds a pride of place in a lobby, office or hallway. There are also the slightly lighter versions of carpets that are used in places that are located in colder climate areas to line the walking areas followed by the rooms which have full-length carpets with designs from Persia, Arabia, Turkey, Kashmir, and Egypt. The designs are beautiful and are painstakingly created by hand by craftsmen who have been doing this for generations. Some carpets even tell stories and have been handed down from one generation to the other much like properties or wills.

So, you can pretty much understand that carpets are not just some mat that is present in your or someone else’s house which is there to probably keep your feet warm in winters or to be taken out and dusted when you have an occasional get together at home. The carpet to some is a legacy that they proudly behold to the world as a piece of art that has been a piece of pride in their family lineage. Thin carpets which line the hallways of homes and offices are here to enhance ambiance and beauty and are pretty cool in providing insulation during cool weather which is why they are found in cold climate houses all over the world. The Middle eastern houses also have them but it’s primarily because they have Air Conditioners running 24×7 and cold floors aren’t very good for walking on in terms of health.

Carpet Cleaning is a Tedious Nightmare

Quite a few people have home gyms these days and quite a few commercial gyms are still running on the old install a carpet in areas where there are no exercises to be done regime. Both these types of gyms need to get in touch with a Rubber Flooring Manufacturer in India because both can benefit greatly for this flooring and it is not only the establishment but also the user or member that will benefit from it. The reason for this is just the amount of effort and time it takes to clean carpets. Most carpets get dirty pretty soon as usually, people walk on them with their shoes on, carpets also trap a lot of dust and dirt in between their threads and this also leads to a lot of bacteria. Unclean carpets are also a cause of allergies and rashes and with all the dirt they have they also lead to quite a few fevers in small children. To avoid these issues carpets need to be cleaned with vacuums (dry or wet take your pick), these vacuums cost a lot of money and sometimes you require chemicals to be used on the carpets to deep clean them. The chemicals are quite expensive and harmful too.
