Carpet Cleaning and Maintenance Tips

Washing and stain removal are essential parts of rug care. But how do you keep your rug
clean and beautiful for as long as possible? Here are our professional tips:

• Treat stains while fresh. The sooner you address a stain, the easier it is to
  remove. Over time, stains penetrate deeper and may become permanent.
• Avoid harsh home remedies before professional cleaning. DIY methods and
  household detergents can worsen stains. Bring your rug to us promptly for safe
  and effective stain removal.

First Aid for Stains

• Cold water: Most stains lift best with cold water. Avoid hot water—it can set stains
  deeper.
• Red wine and berry juice: Sprinkle salt on the stain to absorb liquid and prevent
  spreading.
• Quick response: The faster you act, the easier the stain comes off

Why Stains Set In

Over time, stains can become permanent. Research from Cornell University shows stains
may embed within a week if left untreated. Strong chemicals in some stains can anchor
deeply in fibres, causing yellowing and stubborn marks—even resisting professional
washing.
