If all the methods are used in the factory to reduce the lint, we will still see that the machine-woven carpet has the original lint. You can use the following methods to remove lint from carpets:
1 – The first and most common method is to use a vacuum cleaner with high suction, which should be repeated for a few days after installing the carpet.
2 – The second method is to use a special carpet brush that you can gently wipe the carpet by wetting it.
3 – Also, as a third method, you can use a carpet lint roller to remove the lint from the machine woven carpets.
Is the carpet lint natural?
First of all, we have to say that the lint of carpet that you have just bought is completely natural.
– Does every carpet have lint?
– What carpet should we buy that does not have lint?
– What is the cause of carpet lint?
– Is lint on the carpet a sign of poor quality?
–What should we do to remove lint on the surface of carpets?
In the following, we will answer the questions in detail does every carpet have lint.
In general, we must say that in the weaving of various types of machine woven carpets, several types of yarns are used, the most important of which are acrylic and polyester yarns. Carpets woven with acrylic yarn have lint and carpets woven with polyester yarn have no lint (or at least lint)
What is the sign of carpet lint?
These lints on the acrylic carpet is not a sign of poor quality carpet and even indicates that your carpet is 100% acrylic, which is one of the best quality yarns and has the highest price of carpets.
home carpets made of acrylic yarn are much better in terms of physical properties and longevity than polyester carpets, and they are also more expensive. 100% acrylic carpets have primary lint and in fact this makes the softness of the home carpet more.
Acrylic carpet lint is due to the nature of acrylic fibers and is unavoidable, but there are ways to reduce the lint and we will mention these in the following.
Note: Acrylic fibers are called synthetic wool because of their similarities to natural wool fibers.
What carpet does not have lint?
In fact, if you are very sensitive to carpet lint, you should choose carpets without acrylic yarn, ie polyester, polypropylene or virgin carpets.
Polyester carpets have much less lint because they are made of plastic-like materials. The main problem with polyester yarn carpets is that they will be crushed and lose their original softness after a while.
But if you are looking to buy the best machine-woven carpet for the home, we definitely recommend carpets with acrylic yarn.
Acrylic carpet with minimal lint
In order for the carpet with acrylic yarn to have the least amount of lint, a series of operations must be performed during the process of converting the fibers into yarn and finally during the production of the carpet so that the carpet is woven with less lint; Some of these operations are listed below:
– Sufficient water and oil must be used in the production when preparing the fibers.
– The spinning machines should be adjusted in principle.
– The yarns used in the carpet must be completely heat set.
The last case is very important that the yarn of the acrylic carpet must be heat set; Heat set is a process during which the fibers are exposed to high temperature (steam) and then cooled immediately after the fibers are spun in the spinning part. This operation creates changes in the yarn that increase the quality of the machine woven carpet yarn. If the above is observed before production, the woven carpet will have much less lint or at least we will not see more lint than normal in acrylic carpets. Also keep in mind that typically the higher reeds and points of the carpet, the lower the lint; For example, a 700 reeds carpet will have less lint than a 500 reeds carpet (if an acrylic yarn is used in their texture).
