Have you ever wondered what those black lines around the edges of your room are? These lines are called filtration soil. The cause of filtration soil is simple. When your HVAC unit turns on and forces the air out of the room (air exchanges); this air leaves and travels under the walls, baseboards and doors. Filtration soil is a type of residential pollution from dust and airborne pollutants in the air that is filtered through your carpet collecting around the edges of the rooms at baseboards creating the black lines.
Can it be removed? Yes and No. Filtration soil is more easily removed once it starts to appear. Once it becomes dark in color it becomes a more permanent stain harder to remove. At this point its likely that 80% of the black color can be removed and leave a very light colored stain behind.
