What is the lifespan of a carpet?

The lifespan of a carpet can range from 5 to 20 years on average, with several contributing factors. In today’s post, we’re going to tell you more about the characteristics that cater to long lifespans for your carpeting, so be sure to read along to find out more about making the most of your materials.

Carpeting can last a long time


While some situations call for a carpet with a shorter lifespan, most homeowners want to get their money's worth when they choose a product from this line. The good news is, there are lifespans to meet every need, and we'll make sure you find a perfect option for your home.

For instance, if you have a busy home but still want the best lifespan possible, be sure to ask about fibers that have stain and odor protection manufactured into them. Some brands even aim their protection toward pet owners, with pet-specific benefits.

You can also lengthen the lifespan of your carpet by maintaining them regularly or as needed. Be sure to spot clean as soon as spills happen, vacuum daily or as needed, and be sure to have your carpets commercially cleaned every 12 to 18 months, depending on your average level of traffic.
