Relationship between alkalinity and re-soiling in carpet cleaning Let's discuss the question of whether high alkalinity in carpet cleaning products causes re-soiling. In fact it is surfactant residue, rather than alkalinity itself, that is the primary cause of re-soiling. However, cost considerations influence the use of high-alkaline products, which often feature cheaper surfactants that contribute to re-soiling.**Key Points:** 1. **Alkalinity vs. Surfactant Residue in Chemicals for Carpet Cleaning:** - Alkalinity alone is not the main cause of re-soiling. Instead, the residue left by inexpensive surfactants used in high-alkaline products is more problematic. We recommend : All Fiber Deep Clean   2....

Identifying carpet fibers to optimize cleaning practices.  Fiber Identification: Correctly identifying carpet fibers is crucial as different fibers (e.g., nylon, polyester, olefin, Triexta) have unique properties affecting their response to cleaning and their resilience over time. Nylon: Known for its durability and resilience, it is less prone to crushing and matting. Polyester & Triexta: Absorb little water and repel moisture but attract oils, leading to potential staining. Olefin: Retains abrasive soils and repels water, making it prone to certain types of staining. Benefits of Knowing the Fiber: Identifying the fiber helps in choosing the right cleaning agents and methods, managing...
