Causes of Carpet Fading
There are a number of different elements that can cause carpet to fade and to lose its color, starting with sunlight. Often hotels have large glass walls, windows and doors. You may notice some of the first areas on the carpet to look faded are the areas exposed to sunlight. The UV rays from the sun breaks down the dyes in the carpet fibers. As the dyes break down they will appear lighter. Another common cause for carpet fading is chemical exposure. Sometimes the wrong chemical cleaning agent is used on the carpets. Some chemical agents can strip the carpets of its color and cause them to fade dramatically. Basic wear and tear often from constant foot traffic also has its effects on the carpet’s color. Foot traffic introduces dirt and other contaminants from outside that discolors and breaks down the carpet’s color. Another major element that breaks down color is moisture. Excessive and prolonged exposure to moisture can also cause carpet to fade. Sometimes during carpet cleaning, an inexperienced technician may over soak the carpets which can lead to fading. Lastly, carpet will simply fade over time. As carpet ages they will lose their once vibrant colors. It is said that 3% of the color vibrancy fades every year.
