We have all had the experience of carpet lint when we have purchased a new carpet. Some carpets are so linty that if you sit on them, your clothes will be full of lint, and this is definitely not pleasant for anyone.

Lining is one of the disadvantages of machine-made carpets that can cause discomfort to family members. Lint is a type of carpet fiber that is created by sitting and walking on it. Of course, new machine-made carpet linting is completely normal and will resolve after a few weeks and is not a sign of poor quality carpet. In this article at Dariush Carpet, we intend to share with you about the cause of carpet linting and how to fix this problem, so stay with us at Dariush Carpet until the end of this article.

What are the causes of machine-made carpet linting?

Machine-made carpet linting can have several reasons. The type of machine-made carpet fiber is the main reason for machine-made carpet linting. The use of waste fibers in the carpet, the lack of adjustment of the spinning machine, and improper sizing of the carpet can cause lint in some machine-made carpets. Most machine-made carpets that use a dark color such as navy blue in their texture have more lint than light and cream carpets. Dark fibers become thinner during the production process and produce more lint.

It should be noted that both machine-made and hand-woven carpets lint, but the amount of lint is higher in machine-made carpets. For example, if the spinning machines are not adjusted carefully, the yarns may not be twisted correctly, which causes the carpet to lint when used. Another reason for the carpet to lint is its wear and tear, which occurs over time and with long-term use of the carpet. Another important reason that is effective in the linting of carpets is the amount of comb and density of the carpet. The higher the density and pile of the carpet, the lower its fluffiness. In other words, the fluffiness of the carpet is inversely related to the pile and density of the carpet.

Solution to the problem of machine-woven carpet fluffiness

Dariush Carpet uses acrylic fibers to solve the problem of fluffiness in the texture of its carpets. The material of these fibers is such that it increases the lifespan of the carpet, but it produces more fluff than other fibers, which is why these threads are exposed to controlled heat and heat-set. Acrylic fibers significantly reduce fluffiness during the heat-set process.

How to stop carpet fluffiness?

There are several home methods that can be used to reduce carpet lint, for example:

Using a vacuum cleaner

Using special carpet combs

Using wet wipes

Using carpet maintenance foam

Using carpet shampoo

Using paper glue

Using a bath bag

Using a sticky roller

Using the services of a reputable carpet cleaner

Using lint removers

Summary

Factors such as poor fiber quality, poor adjustment of the carpet weaving machine, improper yarn twist, overworking the carpet, low carpet density, etc. can cause lint in carpets.
