When your carpet begins to look worn and old, and not even the best professional carpet cleaning in the city can resuscitate it. It’s time to say goodbye. Not sure when to change your old carpets with new ones?
Tell-tale signs that you might need a new carpet!
There are a number of factors that affect your decision to replace the carpets, and here are 7 signs you need to replace your carpet.
1. Stains in the carpet
Even if you are extra careful not to spill your drinks or food on the carpet, it’s only matter of time. Whether you or your guests spill drinks, foods or any other liquids on the carpet, there will be stains. Professional carpet cleaning will get rid of these stains without damaging your carpets. However, frequent staining and cleaning process is going to shorten your carpet’s life. And if you have kids and pets, there is definitely going to be more than one stain. Even when quality cleaning of carpet does not remove stains making your carpet look dirty, it’s time to get a new one.
2. Lots of wear and tear
Your children and pets (sometimes even you) eat, sit, lay and play around on the carpets. These activities on a daily basis will lead to quite a few wears and tear on the carpets. There may be bald patches or holes on the carpet. So, do you use variations of furniture styling to cover the worst situation of your carpet?
Well, your carpet may have seen better days but now due to the loosening of its tuft, it cannot return to its actual normal state even with professional carpet cleaning. Because of the wear and tear your carpets make the room seem ugly which is a sign that it’s time to replace them with new ones.
3. Stinky carpet
Do your rooms have a bad smell? If you've already checked the fridge and your trash bins and can't find the source, it could be that you're in need of a carpet cleaning or carpet deodorizer. In case these don’t work and the odor still persists, it’s the smell of old carpets.
With years and years of continuous use, carpets will start to smell (not the good kind). You may notice a lingering smell on your carpet, but the odor should be gone or noticeably diminished after a proper cleaning. If it doesn't, this means that the odor has penetrated deep into the carpet fibers, the carpet pad or the subfloor, and it may even indicate mold and mildew growth. So, if your carpets stink even after cleaning, it is time to replace them.
4. Carpet being old
Have you been using the same carpet for several years? Most carpet manufacturers say that a properly cared carpet lasts for 10 years. But most of us do not care too much about them. So, when exactly carpets are declared old? The signs of carpet being old includes lack of padding support, fading, matting, ripples, color loss, and wrinkles. Carpets being old can lead to a lot of problems like needing frequent washes, stinky smell, and tears in them. It’s better to get new carpets than to deal with old carpets troubles.
5. Utter embarrassment
Everybody likes to invite friends and family at home as their guests for any kind of gathering, festivals, special celebration or just to hang out. In such an environment stained, torn, stinky and old carpets make us feel embarrassed in front of our guests. It also makes a negative impression on anyone who visits your home. So, for your peace of mind and to make your home beautiful, replace your old, stained, torn and stinky carpets.
6. Condition of carpet padding
The carpet is simply layers of fabric and is not much without padding. Padding works as a backbone for a carpet. It helps support the carpet, working as a foundation and making it comfortable to walk and lay on. Carpet padding is a supportive layer of a carpet which helps it from getting damaged from daily use such people walking, sitting, laying on it, as well as kids and pets playing on it. Signs of old padding include unevenness, wrinkles and a crinkling sound when someone walks over it. The reason why people have to replace their carpet quickly is that the condition of carpet padding is weak, old or unmanaged.
7. Duplicate products
Market these days are flooded with duplicate products which do not last for a very long time. Duplicate products are of low quality and get damaged very quickly. Customers in more than one instance get tricked into buying these products. So low-quality duplicate carpets also do not last long and are one of the main reasons for replacing the carpets. If you have bought these kinds of carpets, it’s better to change them with high-quality durable carpets on time.
