A Way to Avoid the Complete Replacement of Your Carpet
I love having good carpet in my home. For me it can make or break a home. It is also a very sad day when carpet gets damaged because it can be so expensive to replace. If you think about it, carpet is pretty impressive stuff. We put it on our floors, walk on it, slide furniture across it, spill things on it, and the only bath it gets is once a year. In the mean time, we might run a vacuum across it each week. When we do clean our carpets, we spray and suck up the spray, so it is really just a surface clean. All of this and when we get a bad stain, we get upset.
Well, there are ways I have come across that you can use to repair your carpet, instead of needing to replace the entire rug. If you are not a do it yourself kind of person, many of the Orange County carpet installation companies offer repair services.
If a simple trimming of the fibers will not do the trick, here is one idea that is a little more intense, but rewarding in the end. It is a replacement of the fibers. Where the carpet is damaged, remove each damaged carpet fiber all the way down to the carpet backing. Then find a scrap of carpet, or a hidden area of carpet that won’t miss the fibers, and pull them out to use as replacements. Carefully glue each fiber into the carpet backing where the damage was originally done. This process is not for the faint of heart, but if done carefully, will save you some money.
