Stain Reappearance (Wicking)
These Mohawk warranties do not cover reappearance of previously
cleaned stains. If warranty conditions set forth in this brochure are
met, stains that are saturated and result in wicking will release with
additional recleaning.
Transferability
Some warranties will be transferable depending on ber type.
Please reference the warranty grid foldout for details.
Wrinkling or Buckling
Wrinkling may occur after installation and can be caused by
excessive humidity, inadequate cushion or failure to use the
recommended installation procedures found in the CRI Carpet
Installation Standards, especially relative to power stretching. A
competent installer can usually correct this problem.
Yellowing
Yellowing can have many causes, such as BHT (butylated
hydroxytoluene) off-gassing from rebond pad, yarn lubricants,
over-application of stain-resistant treatments, changes in alkalinity,
cleaning solutions, general soiling and fume fading.
White vinegar applied to a clean white towel and held on the carpet
will indicate if yellowing can be removed. If this works, a 10%
solution of citric acid applied by a professional cleaner will usually
remove yellowing. Yellowing is characteristic of carpet and not
considered a manufacturing defect.
