Bleeding Dyes Can Ruin Your Carpet
by James Carlson
Description: Bleeding dyes can permanently damage your carpet. Find out how you can prevent this common carpet problem.
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.
