Replacing old carpet can benefit you in more ways than you think
Even the carpets under the best care don’t last forever. Nomatter the reason, the time is bound to come when your carpet needs to be replaced or thrown out. If you’re still deciding whether to remove your carpet, read on to learn about some of the benefits of carpet removal.
Aesthetic Appeal
The most obvious benefit of replacing an old rug? Whether yourrug has seen better days or you’re just in the mood for a change, a new carpet immediately (and often drastically) changes the look of a room. It’ll improve the look of your space.
Reduce Allergens in the Air
Over time, older carpets and the padding beneath them absorb dust and other allergen-containing particles that float in the air. These can aggravate allergies and asthma symptoms. Carpets can be washed, of course, but it’s pretty impossible to clean the pad, especially when you’re dealing with wall-to-wall carpeting. Replacing both helps cut down on allergens in the air.
Mold and Mildew
The absorbent nature of carpet padding often poses a problem, especially in humid climates. This contributes to odors and microscopic allergens. Once yourcarpets are replaced, ensure that humidity levels are kept under control.
Odors
Fact: old carpets smell. No matter how much you spray and deep-clean, eventually every carpet reaches the point of no return. Once you replace your old, smelly carpet, you’ll have a better-smelling room to enjoy.
Safety
Warping, tearing, and matting are all signs of wear and tear. Unfortunately, these flaws are not just unattractive; they also have the potential to be downright dangerous. Warps, tears, mats, and other irregularities can cause people to trip, which often results in injury. Replacing carpet gives people a level, safe place to walk.
