Are you unlucky and get those black marks around the edge of you carpets? Well help is at hand on how to prevent them. They can be one of two things causing this problem.
So what the cause? Air. It moves around your home between the gaps in walls and floors trying to find a way out. This is what is happing if you have black marks around the edge of your carpets.
Normally you get a small gap under the skirting or baseboard. This is where the carpet tucks into. And if you're unlucky where the air finds it way out. Leaving a black mark behind of dirty dust.
The problem is when you get air flow under the floor this air wants to find its way out anyway it can and if the floor is not fitted tight it blow up where ever it can, normally around the edge leaving a dirty black mark.
Here are some way to deal with this problem.You can get rolls of card that carpet fitters use under foam back carpets. Lay this under the underlay and tape the joins. Then run tape around the gap under the skirting
Using cedar paper and flexible tape work well. When you get the carpet cleaned it will need to be cleaned with the right product, so use a cleaner that know his stuff.
Lift carpet Run gapfill along bottom of skirting if these marks are where the fitter laying the carpet has punctured the underlay use flexible tape and seal these up. Refit carpet.
Get some cedar paper from B&Q. fill skirting gaps with flexible sealer, lay cedar paper. Then carpet underlay, tape all joins in the carpet underlay. Refit carpet. You must make sure you seal it air tight as the air will find its way through. That should fix the problem now you just need a carpet cleaner like me to fix the dirt problem for you.
