Why is my carpet going bald?

I only noticed this morning: the carpet in my bedroom has developed a bald patch. What might have caused it?

Pictures here, here and here.


  • I think this has maybe happened over the last couple of months.

  • The area affected is maybe 10 inches by 4 inches.

  • It's in a bedroom, next to a pair of PVC doors.

  • The upper floor of a two-storey house.

  • I'm in the UK. The doors have very seldom been open over the winter, but if I do open the doors I'll likely open the one by the bald patch.

  • No obvious signs of any infestation.

  • There aren't any other bald patches, but the area around the bald patch is notably stiff rather than soft, and there's a lot of what seems like dust in the carpet around that area.

  • We have a dog, but he never goes upstairs.

  • The underlay below the bald patch seems perfect. So does the back of the carpet.

  • I don't detect any obvious odour.

  • The carpet was here when we moved in, but I'd guess it's maybe 10 years old.
