How to Remove the 7 Most Stubborn Carpet Stains

How to Remove the 7 Most Stubborn Carpet Stains

The first five minutes decide whether a spill becomes a stain. Blot — never rub — and work from the outside in. Here's how to tackle the most common culprits, and when to call in extraction equipment.

Red wine & coffee

Blot immediately, then apply a solution of cool water and a little washing-up liquid. Avoid heat, which sets the stain. Repeat and blot dry.

Pet accidents

Blot thoroughly, then use an enzyme-based cleaner that breaks down odour at the source rather than masking it. Ordinary detergents often leave a scent pets return to.

Grease & ink

These bond to fibres and rarely lift fully at home. A professional hot-water extraction flushes them out without spreading the mark.

When to call us
