Filtration Soiling in Midlothian

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

Carpet Filtration Soiling Midlothian, IL

If you have light colored carpeting in your home, you may have noticed the dark lines that appear along the edges of the carpet. This particular kind of soiling is called filtration soiling because it comes from the air passing 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 be removed achieving reasonable results with the use of special cleaning tools and products, and a significant amount of time and effort. Call (815) 290-0845 to speak with the carpet cleaning experts at K & T Chem-Dry in Midlothian, IL for a free estimate and phone consultation. To help prevent the effects of filtration soiling, try to vacuum and wipe down the edges of the carpet on a regular basis.
