•Carpets over 10-12 years old, especially for high-traffic areas

•Fading, discoloration and dye loss that cleaning cannot remedy

•Odors/mildew that won’t go away even after multiple cleanings

•Significant pet damage/stains beyond spot treatment

•Permanent indentations/creases from heavy furniture
