Carpets can last in our homes from generally between 5 to 15 years, depending on the foot traffic they receive and how well they are maintained. Properly caring for your carpet can dramatically extend its life, as the years go on our carpets can begin to look worn and show obvious signs of wear and tear. Some of these signs can be obvious to the eye, but some can be a little more subtle and trickier to notice.
We have put together this post to share with you 5 sure signs that it’s time to invest in new carpets in your home. LJV Carpets & Flooring are one of the leading flooring suppliers and fitters in the North West, providing beautiful, luxury flooring options at affordable prices to suit each and every home.

Wear and Tear
Over time, our daily foot traffic can affect the condition of our carpets and make them look old, worn, matted and develop tears in them. Unfortunately, this is inevitable, especially in homes where we have kids, and pets and spend a lot of time going in and out of our rooms. We all want our homes to look their best, and our flooring is a big part of that.
Odours
Sometimes due to spillages and messes happening on our homes carpets, they can develop odours in them which are tricky to get out. These kinds of events are inevitable, but can be extremely frustrating when they cause our carpets to have an odour. You can try cleaning your carpets to see if you can get the smells out, but it can be a tricky task.
Stains
Carpets can easily become stained especially in busy households – with coffee, makeup, wine, and ink being some of the main culprits. Stains in our carpets can be really tough to remove, and often end up living on our carpet forever with no hope of coming out. Although you can try to remove the stains from your carpet by yourself, if it’s looking more stained than not then it might be time to think about investing in a new, stain-free carpet.
Increased Allergies
Many of us have allergies, which can be brought on by a number of factors that can include dust, dirt, debris, pollen and pet hair. If you’ve noticed that your allergies have been increasing recently, and you can’t work out why then this could be due to your carpet. Even with regular hoovering and cleaning, our carpets can harbour dust, debris, and other allergenic particles which can cause allergic reactions.
Fading Colour
As the years go on, our carpets can start to fade in colour – which isn’t something that we love to see as homeowners. We want our carpets to look as fresh and plush as they did when we first bought them, and although regular cleaning and maintenance can help with this, over time our carpets can start to fade. This can be due to exposure to the sun and light, the cleaning products we use, and general daily foot traffic.
