A Kejani Cleaning Services Limited Guide to Restoring Your Carpet’s Original Look

Have you ever rearranged your living room, only to find deep dents and ugly marks where your sofa or table used to sit? These furniture marks on carpets are not just unsightly—they can also make your space look aged or neglected. If you’re wondering whether carpet cleaning can remove these furniture marks, the short answer is:

Yes, in many cases, professional carpet cleaning can remove or significantly reduce furniture marks—but how effective it is depends on several factors.

In this guide, we’ll explain:

• Why furniture marks happen

• Which types of carpet cleaning help remove them

• What to expect from professional services like those offered by Kejani Cleaning Services Limited

• And some DIY tricks you can try before calling in the pros

What Causes Furniture Marks on Carpets?

When heavy furniture like sofas, beds, or cabinets sit on your carpet for extended periods, the weight compresses the carpet fibers. This leads to:

• Flattened, indented areas

• Color differences (shadows from compressed fibers)

• Worn-out texture due to lack of air and foot traffic

In Kenya, where many homes and businesses use wall-to-wall carpeting, rugs, or carpet tiles, this is especially common in living rooms, boardrooms, and hotel suites.

Will Carpet Cleaning Remove Furniture Marks?

The answer: It depends on the carpet material, the duration of pressure, and the cleaning method used.

Let’s explore the most effective cleaning methods and how well they work for this issue:

1. Hot Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning)

Most effective method used by Kejani Cleaning Services Limited

This method uses pressurized hot water mixed with a carpet-safe detergent to loosen dirt, lift stains, and revive carpet pile. After injection, the solution is vacuumed out with all the dirt and moisture.

How it helps with furniture marks:

• The heat relaxes the carpet fibers, helping them bounce back.

• The suction lifts matted areas, restoring original texture.

• Paired with grooming tools, it can restore up to 80–100% of fiber height depending on the carpet type.

Best for: ✅ Nylon
✅ Polyester
✅ Olefin carpets
❌ Less effective on wool with permanent compression

2. Carpet Shampooing

This involves using a foamy detergent, scrubbed into the carpet and extracted with water. It’s ideal for surface-level issues and light indentations.

How it helps:

• Loosens fibers slightly

• Works better when combined with brushing or raking

Limitations:

• May not reach deeper into thicker carpets

• Requires more drying time

3. Dry Carpet Cleaning (Encapsulation)

In this method, a minimal-moisture solution is applied to the carpet, forming crystals around dirt particles that are later vacuumed.

How it helps:

• Cleans the area but does not address compression as effectively

• Works best when paired with manual grooming tools
