BEWARE OF ICE MELT PRODUCTS THAT CAN CAUSE CARPET DAMAGE

As we try to avoid slipping and sliding during this seemingly endless winter, beware that ice melt products can damage carpet and cause irreparable damage to carpet. The use or overuse, of ice melt products, such as rock salt or calcium chloride tracked into properties during the winter can cause lasting damage. These products can create oily residues on carpeted surfaces, attract moisture and soil, harm dyes and contribute to abrasive damage to carpet fibers.

No matter how much you want to minimize the effects of our winter – beware – choose the right product for your conditions, use ice melt products according to the directions provided by the manufacturer, use the product sparingly and clean them up when they are transferred into your property.

Otherwise you may be feeling the lingering effects when you may have to invest in new carpet.
