Mattresses

Your mattress will most certainly be useful between 5 to 10 years, regardless of whether it’s a spring mattress, made of memory foam, or even a water bed.

Shower Curtain Liners

It would be the best if you replaced the shower liners every 3-12 months as they regularly exposed to water and are prone to mold and mildew.

Carpet

If you choose the least expensive carpet option, it will last you for some 1-5 years, while a bit more expensive medium-grade carpet should live up to 15 years max. If you want to invest in more expensive carpets, they can last from 15 to even 25 years.

Pillows

If you don’t have time to clean your pillows regularly, you should stop them from becoming an allergen den and replace them after 6 months. If you clean your pillows they can last up to 3 years.
