Spills that have spread deep into the carpet

Posted October 31st, 2009.

Spills that have spread deep into the carpet backing and padding are dissolved when they become wet during the carpet cleaning process. The spills then climb up the fibers like a candle wick until they reach the carpet’s surface. This process goes on until the carpet is thoroughly dry. No matter what carpet cleaning method your building cleaning service uses the reality is there will always be some detergent residue left. And, of course, the “stickier” the detergent the higher the risks are that the carpet will resoil quickly. Using proper carpet cleaning techniques and using products that contain an encapsulating compound that counteracts the effects of sticky detergents will go a long way to keeping your carpets looking cleaner longer. Clean carpets make the whole building look cleaner and your clients will love you for it!
