Tough Stains That A Carpet Cleaning Service Can Remove

Carpets are lovely because they are soft and keep the warmth in. Furthermore, they come in very interesting designs, which can make an entire home look more put together, following a uniform design. However, there is one very big problem with carpets: if you spill something on them, it is incredibly difficult to get the stain back out. Certain stains are particularly hard to remove and often will require the help of a professional carpet cleaning service to remove.

Iron Bru and Other Typically British Products

The United Kingdom is famous the world over for its weird food and drink. Indeed, it seems as if some of their products are made for nothing but staining. They drink tea with milk and sugar, which makes any spillage hard to remove. Their favorite food is a so-called “curry” which is basically chicken in a sauce of a cacophony of bizarre colors, impossible to remove from carpets. Recent research has shown that the hardest stain to remove of all, however, comes from a drink known a Iron Bru, which is an orange colored drink particularly popular in Scotland.

“Stanley Friend has worked for Leicester-based ServiceMaster Clean – which carried out the tests – for the past 19 years. He blamed the colouring and secret recipe, which involves 32 flavours including Sunset Yellow colouring, for the drink’s unyielding stain qualities.”

Pet Stains

We love our pets, be they dogs, cats, rodents or any other type of animal. The problem is, however, that they are not particularly hygienic. They do spend an awful lot of time grooming themselves, but they do not care about living in a hygienic environment. Perhaps it is time they learned that if they kept their house clean, they wouldn’t need to groom themselves so much either, leaving more time for sleep and play?

“There are methods and substances that can rid the odor associated with these types of accidents, and remove the carpet stains entirely.”

Always start by clearing away the initial mess. Next, moisten any areas that have already dried up, so that you an lift the stains from carpet fibers. In terms of the associated smell, it is often a case of trial and error. However, a good carpet cleaning service will be able to discuss your preferences with you before they start to eliminate odors.

Blood

Blood is another very hard to remove stain. In fact, blood is hard to remove not just from carpets, but from any other type of flooring material, including wood, stone or tarmac, as well. If you are hiring a carpet cleaning service to get rid of blood stains, it is often best to tell them about this first. It is also often with blood stains that a cleaning service will sometimes recommend simply removing the carpet and replacing it with a new piece, not in the least because of health and safety reasons. Blood is not impossible to remove, but it is difficult, it is messy and it can be dangerous.

Understanding Stains

Last but not least, before you phone a carpet cleaning service, ask yourself how bad the stain actually is. For instance, you may have spilled some red wine and immediately presume that it is going to be a nightmare. After all, we all know that red wine is one of the hardest stains to remove. This may be true, but red wine is harder to remove from certain fabrics as what it is from others, and this is true for all different types of materials.

“Stains are made of chemicals with loose ends. These loose ends stick to loose ends on which they stain.”
