Not All stains Come Out

Unfortunately, no carpet cleaner can guarantee the removal of all stains, especially if the stain has set into the fabric over time. When removing stains, there are many factors to consider, such as the type of stain, the type of carpet fiber, how old the stain is, if stain removal was attempted, and with what products. Some stains may require the services of a carpet restoration specialist, rather than a carpet cleaner. A restoration specialist can best advise you on weather your carpet needs to be re-dyed or patched.

The Difference between a Spot and a Stain

Spots: are organic in nature, and are usually the result of a food spillage or something that has been walked into the home, which then attracts dust, and dirt. This creates what is typically a darker patch than the surrounding carpet fiber. A spot usually does not permanently damage the carpet, as the substances attracted to it sits on the outside of the carpet fiber. When left unattended, a spot may start to look like to be a stain.

Stains: are from substances that have the ability to alter the carpet fiber, by changing the color of the fiber itself. Some examples of substances that can cause stains are: cordial, soft drinks, coffee, curry, mustard, bleach, makeup, paint, and ink. Trying to remove a mark on the carpet with the wrong cleaning solution can also cause staining.
