WHAT CAUSES YELLOWING IN
CARPETS?
Carpet that has turned yellow has been impacted 
by  what’ s known as phenolic yellowing. This is a 
reaction  caused by a chemical compound that’ s 
commonly
found in your carpet, underlay or glue ( called 
BHT) ,  and i t predominantly occurs when the 
carpet is
exposed to either sunlight or heat. The possibility 
of  this happening can be minimised by using l ight-
blocking curtains on windows and installing 
insulation  in areas where temperature changes are 
l ikely . Advice  from a professional carpet cleaner 
should be sought  when trying to deal with carpet 
that is showing signs  of yellowing.

WHAT CAUSES BROWNING IN CARPETS?
The prime reason for carpets to go brown is related to
wicking. This is what occurs when the carpet gets too much  
water and is saturated during the cleaning process. Excess  
moisture sinks deep into the carpet, reaching the carpet 
pad  where i t pools until the pad and carpet f ibres can no 
longer
absorb anymore, and i t ’ s then pushed back up to the 
surface.
I t ’ s important to also note that too much moisture can be
caused by either over- soaking or leaving a wet carpet for too  
long after cleaning, so i t ’ s essential to use the r ight 
amount of  moisture when cleaning and make sure that your 
carpets are
dried quickly and effi ciently afterwards. Consulting an
experienced cleaning service is recommended as they are
familiar with the correct amount of water to be used and 
the  most effi cient drying process for carpets.
