A qualified and experienced technician will use professional stain treatments and techniques to remove considerably more marks and soil than domestic spotters.
So why can a professional successfully remove more that domestic attempts?
Professional carpet cleaners deliver better stain treatments than home remedies for a few reasons:
They have access to specialized equipment. Professional carpet cleaners use high-powered vacuums and specialized cleaning machines that can remove dirt, dust, and allergens from carpets more effectively than home vacuums. They also use specialized cleaning solutions that are designed to break down stains and remove them from the carpet fibres.
They have more experience. Professional carpet cleaners have years of experience cleaning carpets and know how to remove a variety of stains, including those that are difficult to remove with home remedies. Knowing the right cleaning solution and equipment for each type of stain.
Professional preparation equipment is also very important. Without specific agitation machines, a detailed job simply can’t be achieved.
Experienced and knowledgeable in stain removal techniques. Professional carpet cleaners are trained in the latest stain removal techniques and know how to prevent stains from setting in. They can also spot potential problems with your carpet and recommend preventive measures.
Here are some of the most common stain treatments used by professional carpet cleaners:
Pre-treatment: A pre-treatment is a chemical that is applied to a stain before the carpet is cleaned. The pre-treatment helps to break down the stain and make it easier to remove.
Extraction: Extraction is the process of using hot water and a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt, dust, and stains from carpets. The hot water helps to loosen the dirt and stains from the carpet fibres, and the vacuum cleaner removes them from the carpet.
Steam cleaning: Steam cleaning is a process of using hot steam to clean carpets. The steam helps to kill bacteria and remove dirt, dust, and stains from carpets.
Enzyme cleaning: Enzyme cleaning is a process of using enzymes to remove stains. Enzymes are proteins that break down stains at the molecular level.
Ozone treatment: Ozone treatment is a process of using ozone gas to kill bacteria and remove odours from carpets. Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent that can break down organic matter, including bacteria and odours.

Can professional stain treatments work on all carpets?
Professional stain treatments can work on most types of carpets, but the effectiveness of the treatment will depend on the type of carpet and the severity of the stain. For example, professional stain treatments are more likely to be effective on newer carpets with tightly woven fibres. Older carpets or carpets with loose fibres may be more difficult to clean, and the stain treatment may not be as effective.
Here are some factors that can affect the effectiveness of professional stain treatments:
The type of carpet: Some carpets are more stain-resistant than others. For example, wool carpets are naturally stain-resistant, while nylon carpets are more prone to staining.
The severity of the stain: Fresh stains are easier to remove than set-in stains. If the stain has been sitting for a long time, it may require a more aggressive stain treatment.
The location of the stain: Stains that are located in high-traffic areas, such as doorways or hallways, may be more difficult to remove. This is because these areas are more likely to be exposed to dirt and grime, which can make the stain more difficult to break down.
If you have a carpet stain, it is important to act quickly. The longer the stain sits, the more difficult it will be to remove. If you are not sure how to remove a stain, it is best to call a professional carpet cleaner. They will be able to assess the stain and recommend the best course of treatment.
Here are some additional tips for removing carpet stains:
Blot the stain, do not rub. Rubbing can spread the stain and make it more difficult to remove.
Use a mild detergent or carpet cleaner. Harsh chemicals can damage the carpet fibres.
Test the cleaner in an inconspicuous area of the carpet first to make sure it does not discolour the carpet.
Rinse the area with clean water after cleaning.
Allow the carpet to dry completely.
Do certain types of carpet require professional only stain treatments?
Yes, some types of carpets require specialist stain treatments. Seagrass carpets, for example, are made from natural fibres that are more delicate than synthetic fibres. As a result, they are more susceptible to staining and can be more difficult to clean.
If you have a seagrass carpet, it is important to use a mild detergent or carpet cleaner specifically designed for natural fibres. Harsh chemicals can damage the carpet fibres and make the stain more difficult to remove. You should also avoid using too much water when cleaning seagrass carpets, as this can cause the fibres to swell and warp.
If you have a stain on your seagrass carpet, it is best to act quickly. Blot up as much of the stain as possible with a clean, dry cloth. Then, apply a small amount of mild detergent or carpet cleaner to the stain and blot again. Rinse the area with clean water and allow the carpet to dry completely.
If the stain is still visible after you have tried these steps, you may need to call a professional carpet cleaner. They will be able to use specialized equipment and techniques to remove the stain without damaging the carpet fibres.
