Should I Schedule Deep Carpet Cleaning or Replace My Carpet?

Are you looking to freshen up your living environment and wondering if it’s time for your dirty, musty carpets to go? The question of whether you should replace your carpet is a tricky one that could result in a significant investment. The alternative to pulling and replacing carpet is deep carpet cleaning. When completed by experienced professionals who know exactly how to get rid of deep-set stains, stubborn odors, and even residue left behind from pet accidents, deep carpet cleaning can save you from the expense of new carpet.

Cost Considerations

When it comes to the choice between splurging to replace your carpets and getting started with deep carpet cleaning, your budget may be one of the main factors to contend with. Carpets can be quite costly to replace, adding up to thousands of dollars for an average-sized home. In contrast, deep carpet cleaning is only a fraction of the price and will still provide your living space with a revitalized appearance. 

Since carpets should be professionally cleaned once or twice a year, it could be well worth it to opt for deep cleaning if it has been more than a year since your last appointment. You may be surprised at the difference that dedicated care and regular cleaning can make in your effort to extend the lifespan of your carpets.

Potential for Continued Wear and Tear

Your carpets certainly won’t last forever. At some point, there will come a time when a replacement makes more sense than deep cleaning. The main question, however, is whether that time is now. 

One factor you may want to consider is how much wear and tear your carpet is going to experience in the near future. If you have recently expanded your family and foresee toddlers running around soon, it’s probably not the best time to invest in new carpets. You’ll likely want to wait until they outgrow those accident-prone years. 

The same consideration goes for pet owners or soon-to-be pet owners. If you have long wanted to bring a furry friend into your home, you’ll do yourself a big favor by waiting to invest in new carpets until after you’re sure they have been fully house-trained. 

Convenience & Logistics

Still another variable to keep in mind is the convenience of professional carpet cleaning when compared to the hassle of a full replacement. When you have your carpets deep cleaned by the professionals at Chem-Dry, you can trust that they will be dry and ready to use within a matter of hours. This means you’ll be able to go about your normal routine surrounded by the comfort of fully revitalized carpets in virtually no time at all.

In contrast, a carpet replacement requires significant logistical planning. If you decide to purchase new carpets, you will need to figure out how to move and store your furniture so they can be installed. This can be a huge hassle if you have a particularly tight schedule or are approaching a busy time in your life such as back-to-school season or the ramp-up to the holidays. If what you’re looking for is a fresh start, deep carpet cleaning can certainly provide your home with that sense of renewal without the stress of planning for a replacement.
