Carpet Ghosting

Are you talking about those dark soot lines around the edges? You're screwed. Unless you're willing to pay a lot of money to have it fixed. It's time to get your air ducts cleaned, stop smoking in the house or stop burning a bunch of candles. There are products which will remove these lines but in my experience, you have to hand scrub them out and most people aren't willing to pay for the cost of the chemical or the labor involved.

My recommendation is

A> Get someone with a truck mount
B> Be willing to pay a little extra
C> Never have your carpets "shampooed". You're just begging for more of the same if you do (lots of residue in your carpets). The manufacturers recommend hot water extraction.. aka steam cleaning with a truck mount unit.

Hello everyone

I am not a professional carpet cleaner..just a frustrated homeowner..lol. I had white carpet installed last March. In some areas...around the baseboards, my carpet is a little bit "dirty". I searched the net and they're saying this is carpet ghosting?...Will a professional carpet cleaner be able to clean this?...BTW...I have not had the carpets shampooed yet...and am wondering if this is a site where I can get recommendations of a reputable company/person?...Iam in the Queens, NYC area.

Thank you
Melissa

P.S.....and yeah...no more white carpets again!!
