Deciding whether to clean or replace your carpet depends on its condition and age. If cleaning no longer resolves issues, it's time to consider a replacement. Key signs that you need to replace your carpet include:

• Stains that are impossible to remove.

• A persistent smell that lingers even after cleaning.

• An increase in allergy symptoms.

• The age of the carpet. Most manufacturers state that carpets should last about 10 years with proper care.

When cleaning is no longer effective, you should replace the carpet with a new one or consider other flooring options like vinyl or laminate.

While it may not always be ideal, you can fix a squeaky floorboard without removing the carpet.
