Common carpet problems
A-You should be aware that there are some typical new carpet characteristics. They are quite common and should not be of concern as they generally diminish over time. Shedding - Most new carpets contain fibers that come free from the pile with foot traffic or vacuuming. After a few months of regular vacuuming, shedding will diminish. Static - A static charge can build up when humidity is low, particularly when temperatures outside are colder than those inside (those unseasonably cool days in September). Humidifiers may help control static, but as time goes by, your carpet will hold less of a charge. Tufting - Occasionally loose tufts stand higher than the carpet surface. The solution is easy. Just snip off tufts to uniform height. Be sure not to tug at the fiber. Tugging can cause permanent damage.
