The carpets Newtownabbey and wider Northern Ireland have loved and trusted for over 30 years, we are well known and loved because we care about our customers and the entire journey of getting a new carpet, right through the the aftercare.
Throughout your carpet’s lifetime, it goes through a lot. Mud trekked through the house and smeared on it as the kids came in the door from weekend sports, the dog running through after going for a walk in the rain and the glass of red getting knocked down as the cat ran by. There are a lot of different ways of knowing that it is time for a new carpet, a little freshen up and we will run you through those today.
Just as when you see a person everyday and you don’t notice the small changes, you become accustomed to the little changes, but overtime the little changes all build up and here is our list of how to identify the right time to change your carpet.
The Stains Can’t Be Hidden Any Longer
A carpet that is covered in stains and exhibits other signs of wear is the sign of a home that is lived in. As the years pass by, the spills and accidents pile up and there is no more room for the pot plants that are covering the old stains on the carpet then it is time for a new carpet. There are ways that you can get creative with the cleaning before taking this step: read our blog on ‘Cleaning Spillages Off Your Carpets’
There Is Still A Smell On Your Carpet After Cleaning
There is absolutely nothing that is worse than walking into your home after a long hard day and there being a lingering odour in the air that follows you round the house. It is a commonly known fact that carpets absorb the odours of a home, that is why carpets in the kitchens and the bathroom are a thing of the past – thank goodness!
If there was a stain from an unfortunate bowl of spaghetti drop, the evidence may be visually erased, but there are substances that will linger on in the carpet and build up a strong smell over time without you realising.
This is true especially of your pets having accidents in the home – even if you catch the accident quickly it can often penetrate the underlay. So in summary, if there is a smell after cleaning and it is there to stay – you need a new carpet.

Patches Of The Carpet Are Wearing Thin
Carpets, Northern Ireland wide, see a lot of footfall throughout their lifetime, we are a sociable nation that love to welcome guests into our home, especially when it’s newly decorated (remove those shoes)!
Whether it be guests or the kids pillowcase sliding down the stairs, carpet becomes flattened over time. Wearing thin and becoming loose are signs that your carpet needs to be replaced, often this is first apparent in the high traffic areas of the home, such as the stairs.
Its Flat As A Pancake
You want to have a soft cushioning under your feet and that cosy feeling in some rooms of the home. While wooden/laminate flooring is often easier to keep clean – comfort wins!
The underlay under the carpet is the provider of this, but as with anything, it gets worn down over time and one day you will feel the hard floor beneath your feet. So when the time comes that it is not squishy under your feet anymore, that’s the time to give the carpets Newtownabbey trust a call and get an expert out for a measuring and quote, free of charge.
Sneezing Is On The Rise
Dust, pollen, mites, animal hair and other allergens that are found in the home are not great for anyone, especially those with allergies. Even if you are religiously cleaning the house, some of the allergens live in the carpet and as a carpet nears the end of its life, the sneezing in the home will start to increase and therefore – you guessed it – it’s time for a new carpet.
