How Stains Are Treated

What a proper job involves, in order.

Either

  1. Step 1

    Identification

    What caused the stain, how old it is and what has already been applied all change the treatment.

  2. Step 2

    Testing

    A discreet area is tested first, since some treatments move dyes.

  3. Step 3

    Targeted treatment

    Specific chemistry for the stain type: tannin, protein, oil, dye or pet.

  4. Step 4

    Rinse

    Residue is flushed out so the spot does not attract soil and reappear.

  5. Step 5

    Drying and check

    The area is dried and re-checked, since some stains wick back as they dry.

Rug Stain Removal — FAQs

What should I do immediately after a spill?

Blot, do not rub, working from the outside in with a clean white cloth. Avoid supermarket spot removers on wool and hand-knotted rugs, and tell the cleaner what you used.

Which stains are hardest to remove?

Dye-based spills such as red wine and ink, bleach damage, and old pet stains that have set into the foundation.

Will one clean spot look obvious?

Sometimes, because the treated area ends up cleaner than its surroundings. Cleaning the whole rug usually gives a more even result.
