Carpet replacement question

[Jeff Miller]

I'll go with not only excessive wear, but it gets to the point where
the dirt than can't be extracted during cleaning (but sure can get
wet) added to the slow decomposition of the carpet and pad
materials, you just can't get a fresh clean smelling coach anymore.
