Does your carpet get a lot of wear and tear?

Is your carpet looking worn down, stained, or flat? Before you consider replacing it, know that a professional deep clean can often restore appearance and extend its lifespan.


1. When to Opt for Carpet Cleaning

  • Minor discoloration or dullness

  • Light odors or pet smells

  • General wear in high-traffic zones

  • No damage to padding or subfloor

Professional cleaning can lift out deep-set dirt and allergens, remove stains, and refresh the entire room for a fraction of replacement costs.


2. When It Might Be Time to Replace

  • Carpet is 10+ years old and heavily worn

  • Visible tears or fraying

  • Persistent odors that return after cleaning

  • Stains that won’t come out with professional equipment


3. Cost Comparison

Professional cleaning is often 70–90% cheaper than replacing carpeting and may give you another few years of life from your current flooring.


4. Ask for an Assessment

A trusted carpet cleaning service can inspect your flooring and give you honest recommendations. Sometimes, a deep clean is all you need. In other cases, targeted patching or repairs can fix the issue.

Don’t replace what you can restore! Start with a professional evaluation to make the most informed choice for your home and budget.
