WHEN SHOULD YOU GET YOUR CARPETS REPLACED?
Carpets go through a lot: daily foot traffic, dust settling in, occasional spills, and everything in between. Many homeowners make a habit of getting their carpets deep cleaned once in a while, thinking that’s enough to keep things fresh. And it is, for a while. But there comes a point when, no matter how many times the carpet is shampooed or steamed, it just doesn’t bounce back the way it used to. So, how do you know when a good clean just won’t cut it anymore? There are a few signs your carpet is waving the white flag and needs to be replaced. If you still cannot figure it out, then you can contact our team. Double N Service has an eye for detail and pays meticulous attention to detail. We make sure that you get the best possible advice and know when to change your carpets.
The Stains Have Become Permanent
Over time, carpets collect more than just dirt. Things like wine, ink, grease, and pet accidents can leave behind stains that go deep into the fibers and padding. If you’ve tried professional cleaning and those spots are still there or worse, if they reappear after drying, it may be time to stop wasting money on treatments that don’t work. Some stains become permanent. When they’re all over, it affects the entire look of the room. Although we do try our best to get every stain out and get the carpet as clean as possible.
There Is A Foul Smell
You can tell when a room smells different, and carpets are often the reason. Trapped moisture, pet urine, old spills, or mildew can settle deep into the base of the carpet. If the odor comes back right after cleaning, it means it’s embedded beyond the surface. At that point, replacing the carpet might be the only way to truly freshen up the space.
It Has Been There For Almost A Decade
Most carpets don’t last forever. Depending on the quality, installation, and how well they’ve been maintained, the average life of a carpet is around 8 to 10 years. After that, they start to lose their original shape and color. Even if they still look okay in some areas, age can lead to breakdowns in the backing and padding that aren’t immediately visible. If you’ve had it for over a decade and it no longer looks or feels good, it’s likely time for a change.
Not every carpet needs to be replaced at the first sign of trouble.
Sometimes, a good cleaning can bring it back to life. But when stains don’t lift, odors linger, or the material feels worn and uncomfortable under your feet, it’s probably time to move on. New carpet doesn’t just look better, it feels better, smells better, and improves the entire mood of a room. We take the onus of making sure that you take the right decision. Changing the carpet is not an easy choice. You have to go through a lot of trouble for it. So before you take that decision, make sure that you want that.
