Elpie: Is your carpet really worn out? With such young children, and pets, the chances of a new carpet being stained are high. If your existing carpet still has a couple of years left in it it could be an idea to get quotes for dyeing it to freshen it up and remove the colour inconsistencies. If that buys you a year or two longer with the existing carpet while the kids get a bit older it would leave you open to wider choices later. Just a thought...
networkn: a carpet with a 25 year warranty, their claim is that if we spill something on it, and it can't be removed by a commercial carpet cleaner, the manafacturer will replace it no charge.
I am wondering if anyone has ever made use of such warranties and found them worth while?

When we were getting carpet redone a couple years back, most of these warrantys excluded so much stuff you could almost never claim. Many we looked at required you to have your carpets professionally cleaned at least every 1 or 2 years, excluded stains caused by anything with colouring substances including coffee, wine, juice, or mud / vomit etc, or wear and tear caused by having furniture on the carpet or walking on it. Have a really good look through the exclusion list for the warranty and you'll see that in many cases, very little really is actually covered.
linw: But what is the carpet? Wool or Nylon?
Our current carpet (about 4 yrs old) is nylon. I wouldn't buy wool anymore as nylon is so much easier to clean spills from and doesn't felt up if you rub it. It's probably safer if you have to use stain removers as well. Just my experience.
Good luck with your next purchase.
KiwiNZ: personally I dislike carpet, it is I believe unhealthy. We have a combination of polished wood floors and slate tiles. Easy to clean and the house is just about dust free. If I need to use my wheelchair inside it is way more easier to propel and manoeuvre.

I'm all for personal preference and sounds totally valid in your case, but how is carpet unhealthy?
