Pilling

Pilling or small balls of fiber can appear on your carpet, depending on the type of carpet fiber and

the type of traffic. If this occurs, clip off the pills. If they cover a large area, seek professional

advice.

Rippling

With wall-to-wall carpeting, high humidity may cause rippling. If the carpet remains rippled after

the humidity has left, have a professional re-stretch the carpeting using a power stretcher, not a

knee-kicker.

Seams

Carpet usually comes in 12-foot widths, making seams necessary in most rooms. Visible seams

are not a defect unless they have been improperly made or unless the material has a defect,

making the seam appear more pronounced than normal. The more dense and uniform the carpet

texture, the more visible the seams will be.

Carpet styles with low, tight naps result in the most visible seams. Seams are never more visible

than when the carpet is first installed. Usually with time, use, and vacuuming the seams become

less visible.

Shading

Shading is an inherent quality of fine-cut pile carpets. Household traffic causes pile fibers to

assume different angles; as a result, the carpet appears darker or lighter in these areas. A good

vacuuming, which makes the pile all go in the same direction, provides a temporary remedy.

Shedding

New carpeting, especially pile, sheds bits of fiber for a period of time. Eventually these loose

fibers are removed by vacuuming. Shedding usually occurs more with wool carpeting than with

nylon or other synthetics.

Snags

Sharp-edged objects can grab or snag the carpet fiber. When this occurs, cut off the snag. If the

snag is especially large, call a professional.

Sprouting

Occasionally you may find small tufts of fiber sprouting above carpet surface. Simply use scissors

to cut off the sprout. Do not attempt to pull it, because other fibers will come out in the process.

Stains

No carpet is stain-proof. Although your carpet manufacturer designates your carpet as stain-

resistant, some substances may still cause permanent staining. These include, but are not limited

to, hair dyes, shoe polish, paints, and india ink. Some substances destroy or change the colour of

carpets, including bleaches, acne medications, drain cleaners, plant food, insecticides, and food

or beverages with strongly coloured natural dyes (as found in some brands of mustard and herbal

tea).

Refer to carpet care and maintenance brochures for recommended cleaning procedures for your

particular fiber. Pretest any spot-removal solution in an inconspicuous area before using it in a

large area. Apply several drops of the solution, hold a white tissue on the area, and count to ten.

Examine both tissue and carpet for dye transfer and check for carpet damage.
