Does it have stains? Worn areas? What colour is it? Does it bother you? I know this seems like a weird question, I am asking because I have had carpet for 18 months, cream, and parts of it are stained and parts of it are worn and some bits look different to other bits and it is seriously stressingme out! I cant afford to replace it and everyday I have to look at it. Why am I getting so stressed over floor coverings?

No matter how careful you are or how many times you get it cleaned it always ends up looking spotty and a little embarrassing.
I just remind myself that it looks that way because we live in our house. Living leaves marks, every stain is a sign of life and a sign that we are lucky enough to have a home and a family to live in it.
Then I move the furniture to cover the really gross ones!!
(our's is cream too...well...was cream...now its kinda browny)

I don't have carpets! I have wooden floor straight through, i don't have to worry about dirt anymore, only that I'm constantly sweeping, hoovering, or mopping.... hahaha... If you saw the amount of dirt that collects on the floor , you would get rid of the carpet asap... I would never have a carpet again, it's shocking..... Wooden floor is soooo much cleaner, at least you can see where the dirt is, and i dont get the stress that you get from the stains.I would start saving now to replace it, get a rug to cover some of the carpet for now!!!! good luck!!!

We had a carpet for just two years and it had all sorts thrown over it. If they sucked the spills out we could have opened a brewery!!! Also my daughter cannot have a drink without spilling it. Even when we hoovered it it still looked dirty. We tried steam cleaning it a couple of times but it still looked grubby. We have just pulled it up and put wooden flooring down. If you cant afford to replace it, what about getting a cheap rug to put over the top?

I try not to look at my carpet :) Just walk around looking straight ahead!
This house is rented, so I can't do anything about the carpet. It isn't that bad really, just a little discoloured.
Have you tried using a steam cleaner?
One thing I've learnt - never buy cream carpet or sofas :)

Ahh welcome to my world lol!
I have 4 kids,(5 if you count my husband) 4 dogs and 2 cats and trying to keep it clean with that lot bringing in mud etc is a constant stress in my life.
When I have them replaced I'm going for dark brown so I can't see the stains lol.
Just place rugs over the offending areas so you can blissfully ignore it!

Mines brand new so I love it - but I daresay it won't stay like that for long!
I recommend buying a rug to cover the worst bits and you won't even notice!
