Is stain treatment right for your property?
We treat carpet stains in homes and businesses, including food and drink spills, pet accidents, mud, grease and rust. The sooner we see a mark, and the fewer products applied to it, the better the chance of improvement.

What our stain treatment service includes
Good to know: No stain-removal result is guaranteed. Colour loss and fibre damage cannot be cleaned away, and past home treatments can reduce the chance of removal.
Our approach to carpet stains
Every stain is different. We start by assessing the carpet fibre, the age of the stain and what caused it. We then choose a suitable treatment, which may include fibre-safe solutions, targeted spot treatment and hot water extraction.
Stubborn or set-in marks may need more than one treatment pass. Some staining, colour loss or fibre damage cannot be removed by cleaning.
- Food and drink spills, including wine, coffee, juice and sauces
- Pet marks, mud, grass, grease and oil
- Rust, mineral marks, ink, dye and older set-in stains
More about stain treatment
What to do when a spill happens
Act promptly. Blot the area with a clean white towel instead of rubbing it. Add a little cold water and keep blotting to dilute the spill. If the mark remains, stop and contact us.
Household cleaners and carpet stain products can react with the fibres or make a mark harder to treat. Please tell us what has already been used on the area.
What to expect
How we carry out the work, step by step.
Identify
Establish the likely stain, affected area and carpet fibre.
Test
Check the carpet and treatment suitability.
Treat
Apply, work in and extract the chosen treatment as appropriate.
Review
Check the treated area for any remaining stain, colour loss or fibre damage.
When a stain does not fully lift
A mark may lighten or disappear, but colour loss and fibre damage can remain after cleaning. Older stains and products already used on the area can also affect the result.

What should I do as soon as a spill happens?
Blot it with a clean white towel rather than rubbing. Add a little cold water and keep blotting. If the mark remains, stop and contact us.
Should I use a household stain remover first?
We recommend avoiding other products until the carpet and stain have been assessed. Some treatments can react with the fibre or make the mark harder to remove.
Can you treat pet stains and odours?
Often, but the result depends on how large the affected area is, how often it has been soiled and how far it has reached into the carpet and underlay.
Can you remove an old or set-in stain?
We can assess it and may use more than one treatment pass. Older marks and previous cleaning attempts can limit the result, so removal is not guaranteed.
