Our carpet is over 20 years old and yes we need new carpet but not going to happen this year. Did I mention it is also a very light color? We have cleaned it many times of the years and the past few years I have tried cleaning it myself. It used to clean up ok but now my cleaning was just not working. The dark traffic areas and several spots just not coming clean. Rod was out and scrubbed the carpets first and then did the cleaning. I won't say they look brand new but they look pretty darned good. Thank you Rod for my clean carpets.
