When to treat carpets
Highly recommended in winter and
spring for areas with high traffic around computer workstations and
new carpets with nylon fibres.
Why to treat carpets
Untreated static in carpets may interfere with
computer terminals. When walking on the carpet, eliminates
transmission of mild shocks caused by
static
Static is a common
problem with carpets in dry areas. The human body, as it moves
across a carpet, picks up charge from the friction between the
surface of the carpet and the soles of the feet; this charge may
result in an electric shock when the body comes in contact with a
conductive body like a metallic doorknob.
Today, most
mill-made carpets come pre-treated with anti-static treatment. This
can also be provided using many off-the-shelf products, but beware!
These may leave a sticky residue that can attract soil! An
old-fashioned but very effective treatment for static is a good
humidifier. You can buy the correct humidifier here.
We need to take
humidity readings to apply an appropriate product to the
furnishings. If someone just came along and sprayed the furnishings
without taking readings they wouldn't know what they were
doing.
