Carpet cleaning operations entails access to all kinds of buildings, residential or commercial, with various styles, types and conditions of carpeting. Many common problems with carpet are often observed during carpet cleaning. The householder or facilities manager could easily eliminate these problems by following the simple steps for the specific situations described below.

Filtration Soiling:

This is the name most often given to the condition which arises when deposits settle along base boards, around floor vents, underneath doors and along the edges on carpet stairways. Usually the carpet appears to be very dark or even black in these areas. Filtration soiling occurs when the ventilation system in the building is overburdened by particulates in the indoor atmosphere, and cannot adequately remove them. Since carpet is a filter, it traps some of these dust particles, especially along the edges where the carpet might not be totally sealed. At these locations, the air flows more rapidly, thereby causing a greater accumulation of soils.

To solve this problem it will be necessary to ensure that the ventilation system is working properly and all vents are clean and free from obstruction of any kind. The carpet should be vacuumed frequently with a strong vacuum cleaner that is outfitted with a good H.E.P.A. filter. Make sure that the vacuum cleaner filters are clean enough to prevent dust from just being blown back into the air inside the room.

It might be possible to remove filtration soiling by simply vacuuming along the edges and base boards. Try using the special edging tool that is often part of the accessory package provided by the vacuum cleaner supplier. If this doesn\’t work, then it may be necessary to call in a professional carpet cleaner who will use specialty chemicals to do the job properly.

Wrinkling Or Buckling:

This phenomenon usually appears because the carpet has been installed improperly, and may also be due to the use of inappropriate padding material. It develops most rapidly in the presence of excessive heat or moisture. Thus, many carpet cleaners are often very surprised to see severe buckling, rippling or wrinkling on the carpet after the initial pretreatment. Of course, in such a case, as soon as the carpet is dry, it will revert to its former condition, but a permanent solution will definitely be necessary.

This entails calling in a competent, certified professional carpet repairman who can replace the padding and re-stretch the carpet, using a good power stretching tool.

Following these simple steps will help to maintain clean healthy conditions in the home or office, and result in considerable savings over time.

Develop the habit of inspecting your carpet and upholstery every now and then to see if there are situations or problems that require attention. In the long run, timely correction of such problems will result in considerable savings on the cost of repairing or replacing your carpet or other furnishings.

If you are not sure what to look for, just ask your professional carpet cleaner on his next visit, to point out any unusual situations to you. This could prove to be a valuable bonus for following your carpet suppliers recommendations, and having periodic cleaning done by a certified professional carpet cleaning company.
