Stubborn & Permanent Stain Removal:

Stain removal is used to remove stubborn stains that don't come out with regular carpet cleaning. Just because stains don't come out with a normal carpet cleaning doesn't mean that you didn't get your money's worth. Think of it this way, if you dyed your hair and it all came out in the shower when you shampooed your hair you'd be upset, especially if you paid for the service at a hair salon. Dyes, man made or natural shouldn't come out with just detergent and water, it takes a lot more effort . . . and that is where we come in. Red wine, coffee, orange juice, blueberries, blood, urine etc. are all examples of different types of dye stains. We can definitely get them all out.

Cigarette Burns, Runs, Snags & Minor Carpet Repairs:

Cigarette or lighter burns, runs, snags, holes, tears etc are all repairable either with fiber transplants or grafting in new pieces etc. If an area of color loss or a stain is too severe for our other treatments, this is a very logical solution and it's cost-effective too.

Spot Dyeing:

We use spot dyeing to restore bleach spots, sun or ozone fading and other types of chemical color loss. Using the three primary colors, we can restore any carpet color from any degree of color loss as long as the fibers are intact.

Carpet Tips:

1. When it comes to bleach spots, the best thing you can do is take 1 part white vinegar and 1 part water and saturate the area of color loss. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes and then blot with a towel. This will stop the caustic action of the bleach and allow you time to call us to set up a time to do a color repair for you. When we arrive, we will neutralize the bleach with a product specially designed for that purpose that has anti chlor agents in it. Even if the bleach spot has been there for a long time you would still want to do this prior to us coming. BLEACH NEVER STOPS WORKING.EVER! It will keep reactivating with the changes in humidity and it can't be neutralized with water, that only weakens it a bit but spreads it more which will cause more damage.

2. When in doubt, call us. The more you do or add to a stain the more difficult it makes it for us and the more costly it becomes to repair. Most of the time when we arrive on scene the situation is nothing short of chemical warfare before we have even looked at the stain.

3. Never rub or scrub your carpet fibers as this will damage the fibers and spread the stain.

4. Do not, under any circumstances, use your carpet as an underlay for an interior BBQ pit.

5. Many people may not be aware that frequent and thorough vacuuming is one of the most important (and easiest) things you can do to help retain your carpet's original appearance.

6. Professional carpet cleanings every 18 months are also an important part of a regular carpet care regimen, and investing in a carpet shampooer, wet/dry vacuum, or steam vacuum is also a good idea for interim carpet maintenance.

7. You need some sort of initial line of defense for dirt. Mats are the most popular and most practical. People who have a mat at their front door (fuzzy ones are the best) reduce the amount of dirt being tracked in by everyone coming in. When people see a mat they immediately, without thinking, wipe their shoes on it. It has become the custom now to remove your shoes when you walk into someone's home but mats are still a great initial barrier to employ.
