Can Professional Carpet Cleaning Remove Carpet Stains?

What professional cleaning can do for spots and stains, and why some discoloration may remain.

Short Answer

Professional carpet cleaning can improve or remove many common spots and stains, but no cleaner can guarantee that every discoloration will disappear. Results depend on what caused the stain, how long it has been present, previous products used and whether the carpet fibers or dyes were permanently changed.

What You Should Know

1

Fresh spots are usually better candidates

The sooner a spill is addressed, the less time it has to spread, dry or react with the carpet.

2

Different stains require different treatment

Food, drinks, grease, pet accidents and other substances do not all respond to the same cleaning chemistry.

3

Previous DIY products matter

Some over-the-counter products can leave residue or alter the appearance of the affected area.

4

A stain can be permanent

If carpet dye or fiber color has been chemically changed, cleaning may improve the area without restoring the original color.

5

Point out problem areas before service

Showing the technician specific spots helps them evaluate and pre-treat those areas appropriately.
