WHAT CAUSES YELLOWING IN
CARPETS?
Carpet that has turned yellow has been impacted
by what s known as phenolic yellowing. This is
a reaction caused by a chemical compound that s
commonly found in your carpet, underlay or glue (
called BHT), and i t predominantly occurs when
the carpet is exposed to either sunlight or heat.
The possibility of this happening can be
minimised by using l ight- blocking curtains on
windows and installing insulation in areas where
temperature changes are l ikely. Advice from a
professional carpet cleaner should be sought
when trying to deal with carpet that is showing
signs of yellowing.

WHAT CAUSES BROWNING IN CARPETS?
The prime reason for carpets to go brown is
related to wicking. This is what occurs when the
carpet gets too much water and is saturated
during the cleaning process. Excess moisture
sinks deep into the carpet, reaching the carpet
pad where i t pools until the pad and carpet f
ibres can no longer absorb anymore, and i t s
then pushed back up to the surface. I t s
important to also note that too much moisture can
be caused by either over- soaking or leaving a
wet carpet for too long after cleaning, so i t
s essential to use the r ight amount of moisture
when cleaning and make sure that your carpets
are dried quickly and efficiently afterwards.
Consulting an experienced cleaning service is
recommended as they are familiar with the correct
amount of water to be used and the most
efficient drying process for carpets.
