John Rosatti, Bleeding Dyes Can Ruin Your Carpet
Carpet is a great flooring but can be affected by a number
of different
things. Things that can cause it harm and even permanently
damage it. One of
those things is bleeding dye. This can come from a number of
different
sources and is serious problem Read this article to learn a
little about
this problem and what you can do about it.
The first thing you need to do is discover the source of
bleeding dye. It
can be caused by several different common things in your
home. One source is
area rugs. Dyes from area rugs can easily transfer to the
carpet with
moisture. There might even be enough moisture in the air on
a humid day to
cause it . The most common types of rugs that bleed are
expensive oriental
rugs. To prevent this type of damage you should be sure to
place a rug mat
underneath the area rug. This will keep it form transferring
dye in case the
rug were to get wet. Another source of dye transfer is from
labels on the
bottom of furniture. To prevent this from happening always
check the bottom
of anything you place on your carpe for labels and tags. If
they are
present, remove them. The last source of dye transfer that I
will talk about
is furniture. Some furniture can bleed dye. This is usually
the case with
fabric furniture that has no legs or with skirts that touch
the ground. To
prevent this type of damage try to use furniture with legs
that keep it a
little distance above the carpet.
Carpet dye transfer is usually a permanent problem.
Unfortunately the dye
can seldom be completely removed so the best thing to do is
preen the
damage. Take a little care and put a little thought into
your carpet though
and you should be just fine. Good luck.
