No, but the house was only lived in for 4 months before we moved in so it's basically brand new. We did have them steam cleaned and scotch guarded before we moved in.

Yes we replaced all the carpets in all rooms that had carpet when we moved in.

Re: 2nd Poll-New Carpets

Again, everything was just put in by the builder so we didn't change them until we needed to (baby's room etc) but if I were moving into a place that had carpets where someone lived - I think I would probably change them. OR - if you like the color of the carpets maybe have a professional to come in and clean them first. That may spruce them up a bit.

I didn't answer the poll since I don't own. If I did, it would depend on the condition. You can tell if a carpet is new or not. I would have it cleaned professionally if I were going to keep it.

Re: 2nd Poll-New Carpets

when we were in our condo we did- we did the entire condo over-rugs were the first thing to go! They were horrendous!

in our house-the downstairs is hardwood!Chat Icon
upstairs the carpets were like new and we didn't need to get new ones- although now I am thinking I would like to hardwood the hallways and get new carpet in the bedrooms...we'll see

Re: 2nd Poll-New Carpets

I was lucky enough to have new carpets in every apartment I lived in.

But, if it was really bad, I probablly would not have taken the apartment.

If it was in my own home.....and they were like new I might just get them professionally cleaned, then consider changing them at a later point.

Yes. When I was a kid we moved into a house that was infested with fleas, so nobody in my family keeps other people's carpeting. God knows what's in there. Chat Icon
