Padding is NEVER more expensive than the carpet you're putting on top of it. If you're thinking about carpet with "Kangaback" (a vanilla colored padding) on it then I would suggest not using it. You have to glue it down and when you want to remove it you have to scrape all of it up. If you're thinking about a tile carpeting with a padding attached like they sell at Home Depot or any fine specialty floor retailer that is held in place by friction and not glue then I think it's a great idea.

Since they appear to be old, it's not likely that they can be completely removed. You can use a suds of water and dish soap. (That won't leave a soap film to attract dirt). Use a sponge and blot the suds into the carpet until fairly wet. DO NOT RUB the pile. It will frizz the tips of yarn. Blot the area completely with the suds. Use clear water, cold, not warm, to clean out the suds. Repeat if it has any success. When finished, blot as much moisture as you can with a towel, then place a folded towel over the area with a weight, leave for a few hours or longer.. The towel will wick up any remaining moisture. If the entire carpet has stains spread about, this may be too much effort, but if it works, maybe so. You will have a "cleaner" spot doing this. Again, if old, even professional cleaning may not work. Urine contains acid and can destroy the color. If you decide to use a cleaning co., ServPro is one of the best. When they know what the stain is, they are usually successful. Maybe not in this case. I have no interest in the co., used them in my own business.

Don't do it!!! If you need to change the carpet you would have to buy all new padding.Its sometimes more expensive than the carpet itself.Just buy them separately and then if you change carpet you can keep the padding and only be out the cost of the carpet and installing.
