QC Newsletter March 2013 - Tips from the IICRC
Tips from the IICRC:
New carpet can improve the appearance of any room, but how can carpet that is walked on every day continue looking new? To keep your carpet clean, it's necessary to vacuum regularly with a strong, well-functioning and properly-filtered vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately, due to traffic, children, pets and normal wear, carpet fibers inevitably become soiled, and a dull appearance results. And no matter how much you vacuum, eventually you will need to call a professional carpet cleaner.
Regular professional cleaning using a Cleantrust technician is as important to your carpet as having a trained mechanic perform routine tune-ups on your car. While your carpet may appear clean on the surface, periodic cleaning by a certified technician can remove what you can't see and help your carpet retain its fresh, beautiful appearance.
What is the proper way to deal with furniture indentations in carpet?
Indentations from furniture re-arrangement are a normal phenomenon in carpet. Sometimes, the situation is self-correcting when the furniture is moved and the carpet backings and pile are allowed to re-acclimate. In other cases, vacuuming coupled with light brushing can bring up the indented areas. In extreme cases, the indentation can be covered with a damp towel and steamed with an iron for a few seconds, followed by brushing while warm to "resurrect" the pile in that area. Nylon carpet pile (about 70% of residential carpet) responds particularly well to this procedure.
There are, however, limitations by the type of pile fiber. If the pile is made of non-resilient olefin, as in olefin Berber or level-loop olefin commercial carpet, the indentation may be permanent. That's a characteristic of the fiber. This is why non-resilient olefin often is combined with resilient nylon in several popular carpet styles.
QC Newsletter February - Surfaces Conference 2013
Surfaces Conference 2013
Our technicians attended this conference at the end of last month. One of the things they learned about was the production of wool in the U.S. They learned that wool is grown in all 50 states and there are 81,000 sheep farms and ranches. American wool is versatile and is known for it’s “loftiness” Also, it’s used to make insulation, handmade rugs, tennis balls, bedding products and clean up pads for oil spills.
I bet you thought wool was for area rugs and coats only!
In the United Kingdom, Prince Charles started “The Campaign for Wool” in 2010 to put wool back on the market. He had noticed there was a decline in wool productivity. This campaign is designed to improve the consumers understanding, appreciation and the sustainability benefits of wool. The Prince is also a sheep farmer (yeah, that surprised all of us too!) and considers himself an environmentalist. He brought together experts from the industry from fashion/interior designers to carpet manufactures and architects. Launching a plan to them to get the industry to work together and make wool fashionable once again. The campaign has been very successful because it is based on a simply philosophy of supporting and encouraging all levels of the wool industry.
The message is simple “Choose Wool”
When you think about it, wool is a green product and is sustainable because it uses the sheep's wool which grows back naturally after it’s been sheared. A good quality wool carpet can last hundreds of years. You can incorporate wool into your house many ways. Wool runners, area rugs, blankets, mattresses, pholstered chairs, clothes and much more!
