One of the most common questions homeowners have when they feel disgusted by the appearance of the carpeting in their house is whether or not the age of the carpeting has any bearing on whether or not a professional service can get them looking better. In most cases a quality carpet cleaning service like Royal Interior Cleaning can transform even the filthiest looking area rugs and carpets, but not even this company can work magic.
If a carpet is seven, eight, or even nine years old, it is nearing its life expectancy.
The average wall-to-wall carpet should be expected to last for around 10 to 12 years. That is with regular use. If there are plenty of people in the house, including children, teenagers, and friends or family coming to visit all the time, that’s going to reduce the life expectancy of those carpets. The more use these carpets see, the heavier the options are that sit on them, the quicker the foam under-padding will break down and that can create even more dust which can get kicked up into the air every time somebody walks across the surface.
Also, the longer stains are allowed to fester and sit on those carpets, the harder it’s going to be to get them up.
With truck mounted equipment and the most effective and powerful cleaning solutions as well as techniques, Royal Interior Cleaning can do wonders with just about any surface. They can even help transform 10-year-old carpeting into looking like it only has a couple of years under its proverbial belt. However, at some point in time it may be more prudent to replace the carpeting than to rely on a carpet cleaning company.
When you do replace your carpeting, make sure you have it professionally cleaned at least once a year (twice a year is optimal) to keep it looking it’s best and giving it the chance to last even longer than the anticipated 10 to 12 years.
