  • Can you put an inexpensive area rug right over it? Also check carpet stores for remenants that you could buy for cheap to either replace or put over top

  • Get it professionally steam cleaned. Not that much money. Have this task performed annually for longest wear. I have mine done every 3 months, but there are 11 pets in my house and many visiting animals as well. You will be surprised as to how good they look.

    • So welcome Irene! Yes, I hear you there too, I have the same issue going on here too in spots. I had the carpet installed before I moved in, but it was cheap carpet and that was 20 years ago. Part of the house has been replaced with hardwood, but some of the senior pets don't do well on the slick surface, so I have covered up with inexpensive area rugs. Wishing you and your family a fun filled and safe holiday season too! ⛄

    Is it necessary to have a carpet where it is? You could paint the floor if you own the house.

      Thank you for your response. Carpet is throughout the whole house.We are senior and I’m afraid that is more than we could handle.Blessed Holidays
