Hello! I recently moved and find that the carpet in my new house, though clean otherwise, has a black sooty stain all around the baseboard. I called some carpet cleaners to come by and take a look and they told me it was from the gas furnace, but couldn't be any more specific. Does anyone know what causes this problem and what I can do to prevent it from getting worse. I probably don't need to point out that I know nothing about these systems (moved to the midwest from CA where we didn't need forced air). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
