Can Cleaning Make Old Carpet Look New Again?

Professional cleaning can dramatically improve carpet affected by removable soil, spots and accumulated residue, but cleaning cannot reverse every form of physical wear, fading or permanent fiber damage.

Dirt vs. wear

Dirt can be removed. Wear is physical damage to the fibers.

Traffic lanes

Soil in traffic lanes often cleans well, though crushed pile may look different.

Permanent discoloration

Sun fading, bleach and urine dye damage stay after cleaning.

Matted fibers

Grooming after cleaning can lift pile, but badly crushed fibers may not recover.

Cleaning before replacement

A deep cleaning is an affordable way to see if replacement is truly needed.
