Commercial carpet removal

Typical physical and chemical properties of commercial modacrylic fibers have been published (125). Modacrylics are not affected by bleaches in the concentrations used for spot and stain removal (31). They are immune to attack by rot, mildew, bacteria, and insects such as moths and carpet beetles (125). Fungi may grow in dirt in an unlaundered Dynel fabric, but washing out the dirt removes the mildew with no effect on the fabric.
