Food Colouring - The Reason Permanent Stains Occur

Many people don't realize that it's not food itself that stains carpet, furniture and clothing. It is in fact that food colouring that these foods contain. You would be surprised just how many foods contain food colouring. These dyes have passed food and safety regulations so they are safe for consumption.

You may wonder why food colouring is even used. Psychologically we look for the brightest colours since they indicate ripeness. For example bright colourful berries are ripe for picking and taste great. This same concept is applied to commercial food and drinks. The brighter the colours that more delicious the food appears to be.

Now we know why foods such as tomato sauce, soy sauce and  sports drinks stain. It's the dyes. The only way to efficiently prevent carpet stains is by dealing with the spill when it's fresh. This prevents the carpet from dye from setting into the carpet fibers.

Common foods with dyes in them include: ketchup, soy sauce, decaffeinated coffee, tomato sauce, pop, sports drinks, meat slices and more. The better way to avoid food colouring it to buy organic foods. These generally don't have added preservatives or dyes. Otherwise always check the labels.

Invisible Dirt -How Carpets Conceal Large Quantities of Dirt

Carpet cleaning should be done at least once a year. However many people skip this crucial cleaning since the carpet appears to look adequately clean. The problem is that on the surface carpets may look clean but underneath they are hiding a dirty secret.

If your carpet has a built in stain protector it will essentially prevent stains. It will allow your carpet to look pristine for a long time. This does not keep the dirt from settling at the base of the carpet. Dirt will roll off carpet fiber and sink to the base of the carpet. This dirt adds up along with hair and other debris.

To prevent rapid soiling it's essential that you vacuum the carpet 2-3 times a week. Slowly go over each section and use a brush roll setting to maximize dirt up take. This process helps keep the rest of your home clean and prevents allergies.

To give your carpet a deep clean you need a professional carpet cleaning service. A professional carpet cleaner will vacuum the carpet as part of the cleaning process. This is followed by spraying cleaning solution and water and finally extraction. This removes the dirt and water from the carpet to ensure faster drying times.
