The carpeting in your house is only a couple of years old, at best. Maybe you have a bunch of kids running around constantly and they just don’t listen. You tell them not to go on the carpeting with their dirty shoes, but it’s difficult to get your spouse to remove his or her shoes when they get home, let alone your kids. Now you notice some damage.
It might be from cats that seem to think carpet is a good scratching pad.
Whatever the damage has been caused by, it can be frustrating. After all, you spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on this gorgeous carpeting and you wanted it to last at least eight or 10 years. Now it looks like you’re just going to have to ‘deal with it’ for the next six, seven, or eight years.
From this point on, though, things are only going to get worse.
When you get frustrated because all your effort to make something look good has gone out the window (or that’s how you perceive it), you will stop caring about the carpet, whether people take care of it, or whether the cats continue to use it as their personal scratching post or litter box.
Keep in mind damaged carpeting can be repaired.
Not all carpeting will be able to be repaired, at least not as effectively as you may hope. With that being said, an experienced carpet cleaning service that also provides repair services could be a valuable asset.
What caused the damage?
Was it due to a cut, scrape, stain, flood, or something else? In many of these situations something can be done to help. Also, do you have an extra section of the carpeting stored somewhere?
You might have been handed some of the excess carpeting when the installers came and did the work. That might be in your attic, a garage, or possibly even a shed. If you didn’t keep it, that may limit options when it comes to potential repairs.
Don’t lose hope, though, because the more experience a carpet cleaning service has, the more options they will be able to offer for repairing damaged carpet.
