Situations when it's cheaper to buy a new carpet than to sanitise the old and stained one

Sometimes no matter how attached we are to our old “present of mom” carpet, you need to replace it with new one and sometimes the situation is not so desperate. But when you need to leave it to rest in peace in the trash instead of grabbing the cleaning fluids like a superhero and start scrubbing?
  • Matted down carpet – some carpets can regain part of their like-new appearance if they are thoroughly cleaned but others like these made of polyester are better to be replaced. Their fibers are not very resilient and they mat down and even professional carpet care can’t help.
  • Olefin barber carpet – if the loops lay down then it’s time to start browsing the sites and shops for new rug. Olefin is durable but prone to matting and resilient fiber. Also it attracts dirt and it’s inclined to keep stains even after good maintenance so if your carpet is over 3 years old think of new one. This fabric is cheap, so it will be easier to replace than to clean.
