COMMON CARPET PROBLEMS
PERMANENT STAINS
We can and will remove most of the spots we encounter on your carpet. However,
keep in mind that some spots turn to “stains”. In these cases,
the spots have changed the original color of the carpeting. These stains
are most commonly caused by pet urine or vomit, Koolaid, grape juice,
various medications, or cleaning agents and are permanent. There are two
options available to clients depending on whether the stain is darker
than the original color or lighter than the original color. The first
option is color repair for those stains that are lighter than the original.
The second option is carpet repair. This is done by removing the affected
carpet and replacing it with a ‘donor’ piece.
“BLEACH” SPOTS
When various household chemicals and bleachers are dripped onto the carpet
and not immediately removed, some may lie dormant, not appearing until
“activated” by the cleaning process. Some of these chemical
agents are acne medications, ammonia and other cleaning agents containing
bleach. Please notify the cleaning technician if you are aware of any
spills of this nature.
SOIL FILTRATION LINES
These are dark areas that develop gradually over time. They are most commonly
found along the perimeter of the room, along walls, under floor-length
draperies, and under doors. The lines are caused by air currents passing
through the carpet in these areas. The air carries microscopic particles
of dirt and other particles. As they pass over the carpet, the soil particles
settle and become embedded in the face fibers of the yarns. The carpet,
in essence, acts like a filter. Over time, these soils solidify. It takes
specialized spot removal to remove these areas of trouble.
CARPET SHADING
When carpeting is installed, the carpet nap is laid in the same direction.
Shading is normally found in high traffic areas, such as hallways, and
is the result of multi-directional foot traffic, which forces the nap
to lie in the opposite direction. When viewing carpet in these areas,
it looks either lighter or darker, depending on where you are standing.
This condition is not reversible.
PET ODORS
While our “state of the art”
cleaning methods, coupled with a comprehensive deodorizing/disinfecting program will eliminate
minor odor problems, some odors, such as pet odors, thoroughly invade
the carpet, pad, and, in some cases, the sub-floor. We cannot completely
eliminate these odors with a general cleaning. These cases would involve
extensive restoration procedures, which include detaching the carpet,
cleaning both the front and backside of the carpeting, removal of the
damaged pad, sealing and treatment of the sub-floor, replacement of pad,
and reinstallation of the carpeting. Please inquire about these services.
BUCKLING/CARPET RIPPLES
You may notice waves or small ripples appearing in your carpeting immediately
following cleaning.
The reason(s) for buckling vary:
- If your carpeting was not installed properly with a power stretcher or was done so improperly, buckling is assured.
- Improper carpet padding (too thick) can cause buckling.
- Dragging heavy furniture across wall to wall carpeting will pull the carpet off the tackless strips, causing waves. Restretching would be advised in this case.
The absorption of moisture/humidity will cause the carpet latex to expand, resulting in the buckling. This will resolve itself, however, as humidity in the room returns to normal and the carpet dries. Therefore, the root causes for buckling are preexisting and should not be blamed on the carpet cleaner or the cleaning process.
