Is It Time For A Wonderful New Carpet?

To renew or not to renew, that is the question! Not sure if it’s time to be thinking about getting a new carpet? Well, we’ve provided a list of things to look out for, and if you spot any of them, it could be time for a new carpet.

Wear and Tear

Some areas in your home will be busier than others, the foot-traffic will be heavier. Doorways, stairs, and hallways are some of the busiest areas of the house, so they will show additional signs of wear. You walk through doorways, up and down stairs, or even in and out of the house many more times than you’d think!

Think about how long the carpet has been down; check is it’s frayed or matted. These are all indications toward needing to invest in a new floor covering.

Easy Stain Removal In New Carpet

At the end of the day, everyone will have an inevitable oops moment.  We have all spilled coffee or knocked over a glass of wine. To all you pet parents out there, we know that your fury friend can have the occasional accident. These mishaps will stain your carpet over time.

If you cannot get rid of a pesky stain or two, then it’s time to call in the professionals.  Sometimes, however, stains won’t budge, and will put up a fight depending on the age and resilience of your carpet. If that’s the case, it’s time for a new carpet! Stains are unsightly and will make even the most stylish of homes look unloved.

However, don’t stress! For those inevitable “oops moments” our Stainfree brand is one of the largest collections of easy clean carpets in the UK.  All come with a lifetime guarantee that ensures your carpet will look stunning for years to come. Why not order your free samples of them here?

Bad Smells

Does your home smell nice and fresh, or do you get a musty whiff even after you’ve vacuumed or cleaned? Well, it could be your carpet… Dirt can easily work its way into the fibres especially if your carpet hasn’t been cleaned regularly.

Think; all those spills, muddy shoes or paw prints and pet accidents can all add up to unpleasant and lingering smells; Especially if you’ve not had an Abingdon Carpet fitted.

Top tip: Try sprinkling your carpet with baking soda and leaving it to sit for a while before vacuuming thoroughly. However, if the smell persists despite cleaning, baking soda, and professionals, it may be time to call it a day. Treat yourself to a new stunning carpet – Abingdon has plenty of options!

Increased allergy symptoms

It’s a fact of life that carpet fibres can attract dust, dirt and other allergens that can unfortunately produce troublesome symptoms. If you find yourself suffering from frequent colds or allergy symptoms, then it could be your old carpet! You’ll probably find relief from these symptoms once you get a new carpet, trust us!

Wool carpets have natural hypoallergic properties. Wool’s fibres will hold fine dust until it is vacuumed, which will minimise any floating particles in the atmosphere. Our Wilton Royal range is a collection of exquisite wool carpets with lots of features and benefits.
