Despite the wide variety of residential flooring products now available laminate, bamboo, tile, vinyl, wood, stone, and cork carpeting remains extremely popular. In fact, the carpet industry in the U.S. accounts for about 51 percent of the total flooring market, which created over $10 billion in revenue in 2019 alone, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
One reason that people love carpeting besides its warmth and softness is that it requires less maintenance and upkeep than hard-surface floors. Frequent vacuuming and an occasional deep-clean scrubbing is typically all that’s required to keep carpeting looking new and fresh.
