Five reasons to buy a new carpet

There are many reasons why people replace carpets in their Wrexham, North Wales and Cheshire homes. While reasoning varies from household to household, here are five main reasons why people opt to change up their carpets:

1. Water damage

Water that is absorbed in carpets can cause mould and mildew, which is a health hazard. Water-damaged carpets should be replaced.

2. Stains

Stains come from many sources, such as spills, leaking pipes, pet accidents and dropped food. Deep cleaning with a carpet cleaning machine will remove most stains, but stubborn ones may remain.

3. Odour

Professional carpet cleaning will get rid of most lingering odours, but smells caused by dog and cat messes, or rotten food, cannot always be removed.

4. Allergies

Some carpets don’t trap allergens, allowing them to float freely in the air. If a member of your household suffers from allergies, first try an allergen vacuum cleaner. If that is not sufficient, buying a wool carpet is a suitable option, as this has hypoallergenic properties and can trap airborne particles.

5. Outdated pattern

Some people begin to dislike the pattern of their carpets, feeling that is in an outdated style. A new home with carpets already fitted may save money, but if the colour or pattern is not to your taste, replace it, rather than living with it.

Expect a high-quality carpet to last for many years, provided it is cleaned regularly, but if you have any of the above issues, it's time to replace your carpets.
