How Frequent Should Your Replace Carpet?

Carpet Cleaning Castle Rock Co

There is no right or wrong or wrong answer about replacing carpets, as the answer depends on how long you have had the carpets and the condition such as wear and tear, and other factors like wether you've got bacteria and or mold. However, you might consider replacing carpets when carpet cleaning no longer makes a difference in the carpet and how it looks and smells. 

Carpet manufacturers like Shaw Industries note that carpets should last between 10 and 15 years. Nylon and Polyester are tough, durable materials that often last at the high end of that spectrum closer to 15 years, where as natural carpets like Wool may only last about 10 years. The key is annual professional carpet cleaning as it can mean carpets that maintain their look and feel as long as possible.

Moreover, consider wear and traffic patterns on a carpet. How many traffic lanes is one factor; and the level of soiling over those carpets is another! As an example, you might not think your carpets suffer much wear and tear if you are single or an empty nester. However, if you don’t take your shoes off at the door, and you have pets who potty on those carpets,  they won’t last more than a few years.

How well you maintain those carpets also affects their overall lifespan. Daily vacuuming removes dirt and pet hair before it gets embedded into the  backing of the carpets. Professional steam cleaning by a professional carpet cleaning company will also pull up dirt and soils a vacuum cleaner might not reach. Also spot cleaning when you have accidents and spills help keep the carpets clean.
