Working from home changed how many Tampa area houses are used.

A spare bedroom that once received occasional foot traffic may now function as an office five days a week.

That creates a different type of carpet wear.

In Lutz home offices, the area around a desk can receive hundreds of movements from an office chair every week. Shoes repeatedly follow the same short path between the desk and doorway. Coffee is carried into the room. Lunch occasionally follows. Yet because the room is not usually considered a major living area, carpet maintenance may receive less attention.

Eventually, homeowners may notice that the carpet beneath and around the workspace looks different from the rest of the room.

Professional cleaning can help refresh carpet in home offices and other rooms that develop concentrated patterns of everyday use.

Chem-Dry of Tampa provides professional carpet cleaning throughout the Tampa area using a process designed to clean effectively while limiting the amount of water placed into the carpet.

For someone working from home, faster drying can be especially useful because shutting down an office for an entire day is rarely convenient.

Home offices are now permanent features in many houses. It makes sense to maintain them the same way you would a family room or bedroom.

If you spend forty hours a week in your Lutz home office, the carpet beneath your desk may receive more use than almost any other carpeted area in the house.

It deserves a little attention too.
