5 Sure Shot Signs You Need a New Carpet

Is it time to invest in a new carpet? Here are 5 signs that your current carpet needs a replacement. Nasty Stains Tired of using steam cleaners, commercial carpet shampoos and homemade solutions? If you just can’t get rid of stubborn stains and have to constantly think of clever ways to hide these stains with furniture and accessories, it’s time to buy a new carpet. Nasty Smells Have you tried professional cleaning and all the possible home remedies to get rid of that unpleasant smell? Are you spraying the carpet often with freshener to cover-up the smell? Over a period of time, the fibres in your carpet become home to dust and moisture and that turns into mildew. Its gets worse if you have pets in the house. RIP When there are way too many rips and worn patches in your carpet and it is getting increasingly difficult to hide them with furniture, plants and accessories, it’s time to invest in a new carpet! Underlay Issue Underlay provides extra cushioning for your carpet. It prolongs the life of a carpet and also ends up absorbing the spills over time. You must consider replacing the underlay if you notice extremely flat or hard areas on your carpet. Carpet placed on damaged underlay tends to crease & stretch and could also get deformed. You could consider replacing just the underlay however in most cases both the underlay and carpet need replacement at the same time. Allergies The older your carpet is, the more difficult it is for your hoover to get rid of the allergens. The fibres of old carpets become home to allergens such as dust, mites, pollen and pet dander. If you and your family start to experience allergy symptoms that are getting increasingly worse, its time to look for a new carpet.
