What causes color loss in carpeting?
By · CommentsDid you know that direct sunlight can cause any colored fabric to fade. Also emissions from heating systems or chemicals, such as pesticides, household cleaning agents and other household items, can also result in color loss. Remember when using a over the counter spotter to test in a hidden area first, this way if it creates color loss or bleach spot no one can see the spot. Instead of not testing a area and having a color loss spot in the middle of a room.
What is filtration soiling?
By · CommentsFiltration soil may appear as dark or grayish lines on carpet along walls, stairways and under doors. It is caused by airflow over and through carpet, allowing fine soils to settle on the surface. It is often caused by an improperly balanced ventilation system, when the volume of air entering a room exceeds the system’s capacity to remove air from the room. Excess air then seeks exit sources in gaps along walls and stairways. Prevent the airflow through carpet and carpet edges by sealing openings through the carpet and under doors and baseboards. Keeping the air in the area clean and using good filtration in your heating and cooling systems and vacuum cleaners can help. Filtration soils may require special cleaning treatment for effective removal. Contact Mr. Steam for professional assistance.

All soil, whether hidden or not, acts an abrasive( it cuts down carpet yarns like a knife and then you see a traffic pattern if not protected are a cleaning) . It can result in early wear, loss of fiber protection, and even some loss of color.
