Specialty Stain Removal

How we do it

When cleaning isn't enough.

Most of what we clean comes out with normal hot-water extraction. Specialty stain removal is for the spot that won't come out: the one that has been there since the holidays, the one somebody already attempted to remove, the one that keeps getting bigger. It is a separate line on the quote from the cleaning itself, and it is the work we have built our reputation on.

Red stains are the ones people call about most frequently: red wine, fruit punch, or the multi-color mess left behind by an art project. Blood removal is another common request and we guarantee our results. Coffee spills and brown rings each get their own special treatment. Water stains, the browning left when a spill or a leak dries, are something we work on regularly. Wood stains are a completely different beast: they come from wood furniture and furniture legs coming in contact with moisture on a damp carpet, and they take a specific approach. Rust from a metal chair leg or furniture caster needs a different approach entirely, which is exactly why we assess each problem individually.

Then there are other common stains which have bonded to the fiber. Nail polish, hair dye, paint, ink and makeup are dyes and pigments that have attached themselves to the carpet, and candle wax has to be lifted out of the pile before stain removal begins. Burns are trimmed, patched or repaired depending on the specific damage, under Carpet Repair. Bleach is a different problem, color loss: color has been removed rather than put in, and it is corrected by dyeing the fiber back to match.

Most pet stains and odors are removable too, though results depend on how extensive the damage is. Our pet stain page explains that in detail.

We have a technician on the crew who specializes in stain work and has spent decades on exactly this. It is why the second-opinion calls come to us, and why we will tell you plainly when something is not going to come out.

Before we start, you will know three things: what is involved, what it costs, and whether it is guaranteed. You decide. Pay for specialty stain removal on wall-to-wall carpet and that spot is covered for 30 days, with a spot out bottle left behind for anything that wicks back as the carpet dries. Area rugs and upholstery are handled case by case and are not automatically covered.
