Deciding whether to replace or clean carpets in a home, particularly a newly purchased home, can be a very big decision. There are a lot of pros to keeping carpets and having them professionally cleaned. Often having carpets professionally cleaned is all a homeowner needs to do in order to reinvigorate the look and feel of tired and worn out carpets. This is often the less expensive option than replacing the carpet in a home.
Sometimes professionally cleaning the carpets will reveal that most of the carpet may remain and only a small portion of the carpets need to be replaced.
Sometimes you may clean the carpets only to find that you need to pay for new carpet anyway. The is the worst case scenario. Perhaps the best thing to do in order to avoid this is to have your home carpets inspected. An inspection of the carpets by a qualified professional can give you an idea of what type of cleaning may be required to get the carpets in their best shape, and the level of cleanliness you may be able to expect from a professional cleaning.
A good inspector may also be able to tell you how much damage is present in the carpets, and whether or not this damage is reversible through professional cleaning.
Proper Cleaning Benefits
Proper cleaning can offer many benefits. Good cleaning removes many pollutants from carpet including dirt, dust and bio-pollutants that are naturally produced in the carpet. These are often the culprits in many diseases including allergies and asthma. Once you have a carpet it is important to have it cleaned professionally at least once every 12 to 18 months.
When examining a carpet for replacement, determine whether it was regularly cleaned at least once every 12 to 18 months. If it had been, it is a good candidate for keeps. If the carpet has no mold or fungi it is also probably in good shape and may last a few more years before replacement is necessary.
