Effective factors in carpet color mixing

The cause of carpet color mixing depends on various reasons such as the type of carpet fibers, washing method, detergents, water temperature and invalid carpet cleaning.

Natural fibers and wool

When the thread used in the carpet is not dyed well, their color changes in contact with water and detergents. This happens due to the presence of natural wool.

Silk carpets are woven from finer and more sensitive fibers. Therefore, you should entrust these carpets to a special carpet cleaner for silk carpets.

water temperature

The temperature of the water is effective in returning the color of the carpets. If the water temperature during washing is too high, it will affect the natural color of the carpet and cause them to blend. So the water temperature should be lukewarm.

Poor quality detergents

Sometimes the quality of the yarn is excellent, but poor quality detergents damage the texture of the carpet and merge its colors.

Make sure to use quality detergents and carefully read the label before use.

High water pressure

Too much water pressure during washing will seriously damage the texture of the carpet as well as the color combination of your carpet. Make sure to use normal water pressure when washing the carpet.
