Carpet rippling after cleaning? Fear not!

Written By LORNE ROELOFSEN

Good morning! Here’s an explanation of why carpets sometimes ripple after cleaning. I remember the first time it happened to me—I was worried! But it turns out it’s quite common and usually temporary.

Why Do Carpets Ripple After Cleaning?

If you’ve noticed ripples or waves in your wall-to-wall carpet after cleaning, don’t be alarmed. This often happens and typically resolves on its own.

Here’s Why:

Moisture Absorption: The carpet absorbs moisture during cleaning, causing the backing and fibers to expand slightly, which can lead to temporary rippling.

Loose Installation: If the carpet wasn’t tightly installed, cleaning can highlight this issue. High-traffic areas are especially prone to rippling.

Temperature & Humidity: As the carpet dries and moisture evaporates, it usually returns to its original shape. Drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity.

What to Do:

Don’t Panic: In most cases, ripples will disappear within 24-48 hours as the carpet dries.

Regular Maintenance: Ensure your carpet is properly installed and maintained to minimize rippling.

0Effective area rug cleaning is essential to the good health of your family. Research at Duke University revealed that dust particles found in homes are capable of carrying hormone-altering chemicals that make the human body gain unhealthy weight. Amounts of dust as small as 3 micrograms are capable of causing measurable health complications for children. Dust particles contain synthetic, natural and endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are inhaled, ingested and absorbed through the skin. Dust lodged in your blinds furniture or carpets could be a primary culprit for breathing problems. When you neglect cleaning for an extended period, these particle's get into the air and pollute the air quality, potentially resulting in respiratory issues long term.

Potential Health Risks Can be Avoided

Rugs can trap allergens and germs and potentially increasing the risk of an asthma attack and other issues. Sanitizing your rugs reduces allergens and removes unhealthy bacteria—all part of having a healthy home. Potential health risks that may be caused by a "dusty home" include learning disabilities, cognitive problems and weight gain. Rugs require professional care—dirt can build up in hard to clean areas.
