The choice to replace or clean your carpets can save you money. Here are the five most important signals that you should consider:
- Persistent Odours That Won’t Budge
When your carpet is professionally cleaned, yet still smells of pet odours and smoke or just musty mildew type scents, the padding underneath has been affected. Replace it. Deep cleaning is effective on surface odours only due to recent spills.
- Visible Wear and Matting
If carpet fibres are permanently crushed down in high-traffic areas and won’t spring back to life even after cleaning, it’s time for new carpets. If there is some spring to the fibres and the matting light, clean instead.
- Stains That Keep Returning
Staining that returns over months after an intensive cleaning to the same location suggests that a spill might have made it through into at least the subfloor cushioning. Replace the carpet. For Pay Weekly Carpets Bristol, contact www.simplypayweekly.co.uk/pay-weekly-carpets/bristol
Most of them clean fine, provided they are fresh stains or have not moved between the fibres too deep.
- Allergy Symptoms Getting Worse
If your sneezes, coughs or other respiratory troubles worsen despite the regular cleaning of carpets, then it may be a sign that allergens have taken root deep within some part(s) of the carpet. Time to replace.
- Age and Overall Condition
Older carpets that are 10-15 years old and have numerous problems should at the very least be cleaned professionally if they’ve never seen a cleaning. If you have a carpet that is under ten years old and only has occasional problems, clean it first.
