Our carpet stain removal process
Identify
We work out what the stain is and how old it is. This decides which treatment will work.
Test
Each treatment is tested on a hidden area of your carpet first.
Treat
Stain-specific chemistry, applied and agitated gently and extracted, then repeated if needed.
Rinse and dry
Residue is removed so the spot doesn't attract dirt and reappear.
Carpet stain removal: common questions
What should I do straight after a spill?
Blot (don't rub) with a white cloth, working from the outside in. Avoid colour-safe bleach and supermarket sprays, because some set the stain permanently.
Can you remove old stains?
Often, yes, but old stains may have bonded with the fibre. We'll test and tell you the likely result before you pay.
What can't be removed?
Bleach spots, burns and some permanent dyes are damage rather than dirt. Colour repair or patching may be the better option.
Why did a stain come back after I cleaned it?
That's called wicking: residue deep in the carpet is drawn back up as it dries. Low-moisture cleaning and a proper rinse prevent it.

Carpet dry cleaning
Low-moisture encapsulation lifts the grime that vacuuming leaves behind, without soaking your carpet. Most rooms are dry enough to walk on in about an hour.
Pet odour and urine treatment
Perfumed sprays only mask pet odour, and the smell comes back on the first humid day. We find where the urine has soaked into the carpet and backing, then treat the source with enzymes that break down the compounds causing the smell.
Wool and premium carpet
Wool is the finest carpet you can buy, and the easiest to damage with the wrong clean. Too hot, too wet or too alkaline and it can shrink, brown or lose its colour. We use a gentle, wool-safe, low-moisture method that cleans thoroughly and leaves no residue.
