Why does my carpet turn yellow?
This is why many such carpets develop a yellow cast over time from oily residues that have bonded with the fibers. Olefin and polyester are also very susceptible to damage from dry soils that scratch the fibers and create appearance loss that cannot be corrected by cleaning or anything else. And since these fibers love oily soils, dry soils stick easily where they are ground into the fibers by foot traffic, accelerating the fiber damage with a sandpaper effect.
Do you need a carpet protector for olefin?
A Word About Olefin and Polyester Carpets: Many consumers are under the impression that their olefin and polyester carpets are "stain proof " and therefore don't need carpet protector. And while these fibers are naturally stain resistant when it comes to dye stains, olefin and polyester carpets still need protection.
Do carpet protectors work?
Traditional protectors rely on a repellency barrier across the top of carpeting to protect carpet fibers. And while such protectors perform well, especially when spills are cleaned up immediately, once a spill penetrates the protective barriers of repellent protectors they immediately bond to the fiber, creating difficult to remove stains.
