Browning

At times, water soaking into the backing can cause chemical reaction with dyes in cellulosic fibers in the backing and these rise up to the surface through the pile fabrics. This can occur after wet cleaning or deep spills, specially under conditions of slow drying.

This problem is very acute with carpets using cellulosic fibers like jute, cotton, sisal and wool in their backing. With time, jute backing deteriorates giving rise to brown or red pigments called 'lignin' which wick upto the surface of the pile fibers.

Be prepared, the damage to the carpet may be irreversible. To prevent these stains, IMMEDIATELY clean up all spills and remove all stains at the earliest possible stage. Also speed up the drying time of your carpet after cleaning by opening doors and windows. if possible, or using dehumidifiers and other equipment that accelerates the drying process. Every precaution must be taken because these stains, though usually reversible at first, can become permanent if not treated timely.
