How do you remove old urine stains?
First of all, if you have a pet that is prone to urinate on the carpet, take a quick walk through your home each day when you get home. The quicker you get to a pet stain the better.Some technical tips on urine: When urine is first excreted, it is on the acid side of the pH scale and very easily removed. Within hours of being exposed to oxygen it turns to an alkaline pH. When this happens it will continue to increase in alkalinity to the point of becoming practically ammonia. This explains the ammonia like odor. At this stage the urine dramatically affects the dye structure of the carpet.To clean the urine spot: Mix 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water and clean with a white terry towel. If you have a small extraction machine, it would be ideal to use it.Do not use over the counter spot removers or all-purpose cleaners on urine! You may set the spot permanently!

Why is it difficult to remove old stains from carpets?
Once any material (wine, food, grease etc) has touched any fabric (carpet, upholstery, clothing etc) a stain begins to form. The trick of stain removal is to get to the stain as fast as possible, before it has time to set. For example, when wine falls onto your carpet much of the initial spill is picked up right away. If the homeowner chooses not to hire a professional cleaner, but instead leaves the stain alone, the wine will bond with the fabric. The stronger the bond, the harder the stain becomes to remove. Some things can prevent the stain from setting, like cleaning products. If you have a wine stain on an item of clothing, and you put the item of clothing into the dryer before the stain is removed, then the heat from the dryer will strengthen the chemical bond of the stain and make the stain harder to remove. One very important thing in stain prevention is to always blot, and never rub an area with a stain. Rubbing the stain, even if you're trying to remove it, will rub the stain into the fabric, and make it harder to remove. Time, heat, rubbing and improper stain removal will always make stains harder to remove.

How do you train a cat not to scratch on the carpet?
You can't but giving the cat it's own scratching post will help. It's natural for a cat to scratch or claw the carpet as this helps remove the old claw shells/layers to reveal a new sharper claw. It sheds the old layers. One thing I have found to repel cats is citrus rinds. If the cat has just a spot or 2 on the carpet that it scratches then squeezing an orange peel in that area could work.

It's a judgement call. If your carpet has holes or tears, is stained beyond cleaning, has odors that won't go away (like cat urine) or is worn to being thread bare, then you might want to consider replacing it. Age is certainly a factor in determining the condition of the carpet, but not always. Use and abuse trump age most of the time. The quality and features of the carpet are also factors.

How is a carpet cat tree reupholstered?
Carpet cat trees and scratching poles are usually fastened with a staple gun. You can take the old carpet off by lifting it with a large slot screwdriver. Then, wrap the carpet around the pole marking it with a magic marker where you want to cut it to fit. Then staple it back on with a staple gun. I wouldn't use nails or brads because my cat goes through her pole carpet in about a month before I have to recover it. They would be to hard to get out.
