Filtration Soiling

(Those ugly black lines around the baseboards and underneath the doorways in your home.)

Carpet Filtration Soiling Concord, NC

If you have light colored carpeting in your Concord home, you may have noticed those dark lines that appear along the edges of the carpet. This specific kind of carpet soiling is called filtration soiling because it comes from the air that passes through the carpet as it is attempting to get through the crack between the carpet and the baseboard or underneath a closed door. This typically occurs over a significant period of time and is generally not noticed until a larger build-up has occurred.

This type of soiling is difficult to remove because the soil particles are so fine that they penetrate deep into the carpet pile, and sometimes into the backing of the carpet. The effects of filtration soiling can usually be removing giving you adequate results with the use of specialty cleaning tools and products and a reasonable amount of time and effort.  Call Prestige Chem-Dry in Concord, NC at (704) 875-8877 for a free estimate and phone consultation today. To help prevent the effects of filtration soiling, try to vacuum and wipe down the edges of the carpeting on a regular basis.
