Professional carpet cleaners filtration line(Black Edges) removal service from Chem-Dry by the Millers

What are those black lines (or light if you have a black carpet) along your baseboards?  They are called filtration lines.  This often causes confusion among customers as to why they are occurring, how to prevent them, and how to get rid of them.  We often hear from cusotmers who look at them and think their edges of their room need to be vacuumed.  They then try and vacuum and nothing happens.  So what is going on you might ask?

These are called Air Filtration lines.  They are dark edges and lines along the wall, down the stiars, under doorways, or under full length drapes and are found in almost every home.  The cause of these lines is called atmospheric or filtration soiling.

This is caused by concentrated airflow that passes through cracks and crevices along walls, edges of stairwells, or under doorways.  This airflow contains dust, dirt particles and polution that are molecularly smaller in size that soil tracked in by foot from other sources.

This airflow is created by air-conditioning and heating systems, natural airflow currents, and thermal expansion and extraction in your home.

Your carpet acts as a great air filter, unfortunately and absorbs these contaminates causing the lines.

There is not a sure way to prevent the problem from occurring, and sometimes the staining can be permanent.  Fortunately Chem-Dry by the Millers professional stain removal service has a revolutionary product that we have great success with and can remove most of the staining.

In addition, Fabric protectors, such as Chem-Dry's Powerguard can help to make this soil removal easier, but even these products will not prevent the problem from reoccurring.

We recommend discussing the problem with our certified Carpet cleaning technicians to find the best solution for your needs.
