A carpet worn down over time becomes non-functional and unattractive. When your carpet starts to lift or smell, it’s better to consider changing the carpet sooner rather than later. We at Insta Carpets know a lot about replacing carpet in New Zealand, and so can offer valuable advice on the telltale signs that your carpet needs replacing. As such, if you notice the following three things happening to your carpet, it’s time to get rid:
- Visible Wear and Tear – Over time, especially in high-traffic areas of a property, carpets can show visible signs of wear and tear. This includes fraying, flattened fibres or even bald spots. All impact the comfort and support of your carpet. Significant patterns of wear and tear are definitely the first sign that you should consider replacing a carpet.
- Persistent Stains – Are there stubborn stains in your carpet that you just can’t get rid of? Sometimes, spills, stains and even mould can penetrate your carpet fibres and padding, meaning they can’t be removed. Stains can also be odorous, though strong-smelling carpets could be infected with bacteria or damp – regardless, persistent stains and bad smells are a sign that you must replace your carpet as soon as possible.
- Increased Allergy and Health Issues – If you’ve noticed yourself sneezing more at home, consider replacing your carpet. An old, worn carpet can harbour allergens, dust mites and various other pollutants that decrease the air quality of your space and exacerbate any respiratory issues. An increased amount of coughing, trouble breathing, and even rashes means that replacing your carpet should be a matter of urgency. Opting for a new, hypoallergenic floor option is highly recommended – hardwood or laminate are particularly effective, though certain carpets are made of organic fibres that are also easier to clean and maintain.
