How often should carpets be replaced?

You might be surprised to learn that carpets can last as long as 10 years! if maintained well. That’s a lot longer than you would have guessed, and it has something to do with how often we replace them. It turns out most people replace their carpets every 6-7 years; however this isn’t always enough if they’re in an active home where children play on them all day long, or there are pets running around pasting muddy paw prints everywhere.
