Hybrid Flooring vs Carpet: Carpet Looks Cozy — Until It Isn’t

Carpet is like that one friend who promises to change but never does.

It looks soft and inviting when new, but beneath the surface lies dust, dander, and years of trapped allergens that no vacuum can truly remove.

Many Brisbane families are discovering this the hard way — especially after noticing constant sneezing, stubborn odours, or that feeling of “never quite clean.”

The Hidden Problem Under Every Carpet

Carpet may look cozy, but what’s beneath the surface tells a different story.

According to the Melbourne House Dust Mite Study, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, homes with carpet were found to have significantly higher concentrations of dust-mite allergens than those with hard floors.

A single square metre of carpet can hold up to 100,000 dust mites, feeding on pet dander and skin cells. These mites produce waste that becomes airborne and affect indoor air quality — especially in Australia’s humid cities like Brisbane and Sydney.

Even home-cleaning experts at 1800Cleaner.com.au estimate that carpet fibres can trap up to 100,000 dust mites per square metre, turning your living room into a hidden dust reservoir.

The Everyday Struggles Brisbane Families Face

  • Dust buildup — even after vacuuming, fibres hold particles that float back into the air.

  • Allergies and asthma — dust mites and pet dander trigger breathing issues in children.

  • Stains and smells — spills soak deep and never fully disappear.

  • Maintenance fatigue — constant vacuuming that never feels like it’s working.

Brisbane’s warm, humid weather only makes it worse. Even with air-conditioning, moisture gets trapped in carpet fibres, creating the perfect environment for dust mites and mould to thrive.

Last summer, a family in Sunnybank couldn’t figure out why their son’s allergies kept flaring up. They’d deep-cleaned, changed filters, even banned the dog from the living room — poor Charlie. When they finally pulled up the old carpet, what was underneath told the whole story: years of dust, moisture, and mites trapped deep inside the fibres.

A week later, they switched to Hybrid Plus.

“It’s the first time the house has actually felt clean,” they told us.
