Description
Browning can only occur if three factors are present: 1. A cellulosic fibre, 2. Moisture, and 3. Slow drying. If the water used to clean the carpet comes into contact with cellulosic fibres (eg. in the jute backing) then a small portion of cellulosic material may dissolve and be carried up the tufts by a wicking process as the carpet dries. As the last of the water evaporates, the tips of the tufts may become badly discoloured with brown stains. The slower the drying, the more browning that will occur. This is because the moisture evaporates from the tips of the tufts and the brown discolouration is carried right to the top of the carpet. Over-wetting a carpet increases the risk of browning. On the other hand, if the carpet is dried quickly, then the tips of the tufts dry out first and browning is prevented from rising or wicking out.
