Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (4974) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Household Supplies > Household Cleaning Supplies > Household Cleaning Products > Carpet Cleaners"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.

Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 4974, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about Carpet Cleaners

What is the Google product category ID for Carpet Cleaners?

4974. The full path, "Home & Garden > Household Supplies > Household Cleaning Supplies > Household Cleaning Products > Carpet Cleaners", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.

Is anything more specific than Carpet Cleaners available?

No. Carpet Cleaners is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 5, so 4974 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.

Where does Carpet Cleaners sit in the taxonomy?

At level 5, under Household Cleaning Products (4973). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Household Supplies → Household Cleaning Supplies → Household Cleaning Products → Carpet Cleaners. If your product does not belong under Household Cleaning Products, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

What should I use if Carpet Cleaners is not quite right?

If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Household Cleaning Products (4973) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.

How big is Carpet Cleaners compared with the categories next to it?

It is second largest of the 17 at its level, carrying 0 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
