A fun challenge carpet cleaning in Fairbanks today! Dye transferred to brand new, very nice commercial carpet… |

Label transfers from Tyvek

How would you feel if you were just finishing a beautiful multi-million dollar building and found this repeated down 150’+ feet of hallway? Yes, it was a ‘bummer’…

Trying to go above and beyond “the extra mile”, this construction crew laid down a terrific protective covering for their beautiful newly carpeted floors: Tyvek. It was awesome except for the dyes that were transferred (process called “crocking” where dyes are essentially rubbed into a fabric)… The markings repeated as if they had run the carpet through a printing press, blue “Tyvek” follow by red “logo”. Very discouraging to the folks that had gone to such a great extent to prevent any soiling… Would be so simple to have made this error.

Anyhow, with multiple dry and damp processes… And lots of hours:

Tyvek transfers gone or in process of being 'gone' — How to make a happy customer sample #1

Tyvek transfers gone or in process of being 'gone' #2 — How to make a happy customer sample #2

Tyvek transfers gone or in process of being 'gone' #3 — How to make a happy customer sample #3

Tyvek transfers gone or in process of being 'gone' #4 — How to make a happy customer sample #4

Yes, this was rewarding. Very neat to have it work out so well. There ended up being zero damage to the fabrics and no discolorations… and we have a very happy customer.
