The first question to ask regarding carpet stain removal; is it a spot or a stain?
A spot is a substance that can be dissolved or suspended from the carpet.
A stain is a permanent colour change which can be difficult to remove.
The problem we find every day at All Aces Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Services is that the customer has had an accident on the carpet and they go to the cupboard and grab a chemical and pour it on the carpet, these can cause extra problems.
1. The chemical that was chosen from the cupbaord could contain bleaches in the product and can take colour from the carpet.
2. The chemical can leave a residue that can attract soil and become worse.
3. Too much chemical can over-wet the carpet and cause the stain to disappear but it the stain can wick back up. The over wetting can also cause a bacterial problem therefore, creating an odour.
4. The chemical can have optical brightners that can cause the carpet to go purple when sunlight or uv light hits the stain and can also take away stain guard protection and can void some carpet warranties.
5. The chemical says it can remove all stains. Most chemicals purchased from the supermarket are not worth the money you spend on them. The best options if you want to buy something, is to look for the woolsafe logo and remember that each technician from All Aces Services carries over 30 specialised chemicals that are designed for Carpet Stain Removal.
6. Those unhelpful home hint books or old wives tales are simply that; something that people have said but should not be followed through on – as they are not written by qualified professionals eg. Bi-carb soda but bi-carb soda can bleach wool.
Here is my golden rule: eg if your carpet is worth say $5000 and you own a dress or a suit for that value and you’re about to put that chemical on the carpet would you use that product on the dress or the suit or would you call a professional?
Here is how All Aces Services can help.
