Care Tips
Dark Traffic Areas After Complete Cleaning
Cause: Dark soiled gray-looking traffic lanes that remain after complete cleaning is called Traffic Lane Gray. It is caused by scratches in the fibers in traffic areas as compared to unused areas. Light reflection is altered by this condition, causing a dull or grayish appearance in fibers in traffic lanes. Wear and pile distortion all cause this.
Answer: Unfortunately, the effect of fiber abrasion and distortion is not correctable. Occasionally, the effect can be improved by increasing lighting in the area. The effect may be slowed down by accelerated maintenance procedures.

Before you begin application of any stain removal product or household item, test the remedy on a small patch of undamaged carpet.
