1: Have your carpet professionally installed. Make sure that the installer uses a power stretcher. 2: Vacuum 2 to 3 times a week. 3: Avoid being barefoot. The oil from your feet can build up on the carpet over time and act as a magnet for dirt. 3: Avoid wearing dirty shoes in the house. Dirty shoes can track in dirt, oil, and other unwanted things in your home. 4: Clean stains as quickly as you can and only use products made for cleaning the carpet. 5: Always use professional carpet cleaners. I have seen everything from the carpet being stained to being soaked, causing delamination. Not removing all the shampoo from the carpet will make the carpet sticky. 6: Scotch-guard your carpet when you get the carpet cleaned.

YES, the carpet can be repaired without replacing it, which is much cheaper in most cases. If the carpet is loose and you see buckling, this can be fixed by stretching the carpet.

1: Improper installation of your carpet. Some carpet installers will use a knee kicker instead of a power stretcher. Carpet stretchers will produce a much tighter stretch than using a knee kicker. Why do carpet installers use knee kickers? Speed, an installer can kick in a room faster. And the costs for a kicker are $65, and a stretcher $523. 2: Improper carpet cleaning and over-wetting the carpet or going over areas too many times with cleaning equipment can cause delamination (separation of secondary backing). 3: Extreme wear and or just the age of the carpet. Carpet generally has a lifespan of 5 to 20 years, depending on the quality of the carpet. 4: Heat and humidity, extreme temperature changes can loosen the carpet over time.

It depends on the amount of furniture and the room’s layout, 20 min. to an hour per room is a reasonable estimate. The amount of time is not determined by the size of the room so much as the layout and the amount of furniture in it. Small odd-shaped pack rooms can take much longer than huge empty square rooms. Small hallways with many doorways and closets can also take some time to re-stretch when dealing with obstacles.

Buckled areas tend to get more wear from shoes and feet scuffing them. It is common to see wear or dirt marks after the carpet stretching. In most cases, the marks come out with carpet cleaning.

Maybe, small spots can be re-latex. But it can become costly to re-latex all the carpet. The two main reasons for this problem are improper carpet cleaning and manufacturer defects in some limited cases. That is why it is vital to use an experienced professional carpet cleaner.
