Those ugly dark lines at the edges of the carpet!

By Jon | June 8, 2009

Hello Everyone!

  I’m often asked about those ugly dark lines at the base boards. This is better known as filtration soil.What are soil filtration lines? Soil filtration lines are ugly dark lines – usually from 1 to 3 inches in width -  that often show up in homes along the baseboards, under doors, along stairways, around furnace vents. What are they?

Filtration soiling is caused by smog, soot, dust, carbon monoxide and other microscopic airborne pollutants that pass through the carpet pile. As the pollutants pass through the carpet, the fibers act as a filter to remove the fine particles of airborne soil. The pollutants build up in the carpet and slowly turn from light gray to black. 

Can this be corrected?  We here at Ultra Color Care,  never promise that we can totally remove this type of soiling, but rather just make an improvement.

It seems that homes closer to higher levels of traffic, often have the worst cases of this issue. If you have an issue with filtration soiling in Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, or Spring Hill…..give us a call for a Free No Obligation evaluation.

    Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!

    I have to say, every time I come to carpetcleanersnashville.com you have another interesting article up. A friend of mine was talking to me about this topic several weeks ago, so I think I’ll e-mail my friend the link here and see what they say.
