Your life|A better life|Life} With Berber Carpet - Stains Resistant

By: dc_darryl

Let's discuss "Your life With Berber".
One of the most convenient qualities of Berber carpet (or Polypropylene) is that it is very resistant to color staining (or accepting pigments). All synthetic carpet materials start their life as small beads of colorless resin. The resin beads are melted into a solution prior to being formed or extruded into thin strands of fiber. All polypropylene fiber used in most Berber carpets have the color (pigments) added to the melted solution before the fibers are formed.
The material that becomes Berber carpet fiber is dyed while in solution. Therefore, the color of your Berber carpet, even if it's white, occurs throughout the entire carpet fiber - just like a carrot which has color throughout. Which in contrast is quite different from a radish which is colorless inside (you might say).
Solution dyed carpeting material really do not quickly accept foreign pigments or secondary colors. However, non-solution dyed carpet material are fashioned to better accept and hold colors that will be introduced after the components are formed.

So, for people with Berber Carpet that is made from Polypropylene material (or fiber) your Berber Carpet is unlikely to receive permanent color stains. That's great news.
The not too good news is, Berber (Polypropylene) loves oil. Yeah, I know.
Berber is much more likely to sweep the oil right off your feet (or shoes). What oil? Glad you asked.
Petrolum oils from auto tires deposits on pavement; oil from asphalt residue; cooking oil deposits... shower jells. Oils and fats are everywhere - ointments, creams, bath solutions and products. When ever you think about it - it's hard to come up with anything that does call for some type of oil. Are you aware Gummy Bears require a unique oil to makes them nice and gummy.
It certainly is not unheard of for Berber darken due to this oil accepting property. Routine cleaning can help you lessen this affect. Of course, it is worthy to note that all synthetic carpet fibers are petrochemicals. Therefore some oils can bind to the components in time (share electrons, produce bonds and have a good old time). Berber is particular susceptible to reaction with other oils / petrochemicals. This can cause cleaning to become increasingly difficult if left untreated (uncleaned).
When folks with Berber say they haven't cleaned their carpet in 3 or 4 years, you can be sure the oils that produces traffic patterns and foot placement soiling (in front of the couch and easy chair) usually are not likely to be removed perfectly without employing a mild environmentally friendly solvent. 4-5 years is well enough time to consummate and solidify the petrochemical marriage.
Besides that, as you can assume, the presence of oil or an oily film on the carpet will increase other types of soiling.
The moral of the account is this. Berber is fantastic for areas in which spills and staining is normally expected - family rooms, playrooms, for example. Having said that, general carpet cleaning frequency requirements could possibly increase slightly according to the probability of soiling from exterior, interior, and atmospheric oils - paired with generic soiling coming from daily use.
One must be aware - carpet cleaning and stain removable are two different tasks. If you have or are thinking about Berber carpeting made out of Polypropylene carpet fiber, you can worry less about spills and accidents calling permenant color fast staining. However, you are likely to notice a slight rise in the need to clean traffic areas and foot placement areas in front of that modern HDTV.
