6 Signs Of Must-Replace Carpets

• Stubborn Stains Carpet cleaners can remove the
  toughest stains. However, if you have stubborn
  stains that you use furniture to hide, you might
  want to remove and replace the carpet. At that
  point, its not merely for an attractive
  appearance but for health reasons as well.
• Extreme wear and tear You can fix small tears
  and rips or hire a professional carpet cleaner to
  do it. However, large rips and tears are a major
  sign that you need to replace your carpet.

• Offensive smell 
• If your carpet has a strong odor that doesnt go
  with washing and cleaning, this is a good sign
  you need to replace it. Odors like that may
  indicate a severe problem such as mold and mildew
  growth.
• Poor condition of carpet padding 
• Padding is the backbone of the carpet. Without
  it, the carpet is just a thin layer of fabric. If
  the padding is severely damaged, you need to
  replace the carpet ASAP.

• Difficulty in breathing
•  Carpets act like a filter that capture and hold
  harmful particles from the air. If you notice an
  increase in allergic symptoms, it may be because
  of an overloaded carpet.
• It is just plain old 
• Carpets can last up to 10 years and some more
  with good care. Eventually, youll need to
  replace them.

Hardwood Floor RestorationYou can restore
hardwood floors to excellent condition by
following these steps 

• You can remove small stains by scrubbing the
  floor with mild soap solution and water. The
  first step will help remove little
  discolorations, stains, or paint on the floor.

• Sweep and vacuum the target area to remove any
  debris and dust. Afterward, use a vinegar
  solution in mopping the area, letting it dry for
  a while. Ensure that no water or moisture
  prevents screening the floor.
• Renew the floors finish by sanding or buffering
  the top layer. You can do it by using a fine
  steel wool or 12-grit screen. Ensure the evenness
  of the re-coating on the floors surface.

• Vacuum the floor again to remove any grit and
  dust. Smooth the surface by applying solvent with
  a piece of cloth.
• Apply a coat to obtain the same wood finish you
  now have. Apply it on a small area to test the
  finish. Does it peel? If it doesnt, you can use
  it safely. Coat the edges and corners with a
  paintbrush and keep coating the rest of the floor
  using a foam pad applicator. Leave it to dry.
