Saturdays by Special Appointment
Most stains are removed during the normal course of our carpet cleaning service. However, some stubborn stains may require special attention, such as stains from paint, coffee, tea, red wine, cordial, blood, etc.
We use a variety of Chem-Dry specially formulated solutions to deal with the majority of these tough stains, or at least minimise them as much as possible. We can definitely knock tough stains out of carpets, rugs, and upholstery for good. That’s why we always say, “If we can’t get it out, no one can.”
The following is a guide to the feasibility of removing a spot or stain from carpets and upholstery using the Chem-Dry Process.
What to Do and What Not to Do
Improve your chances of removal by following these simple procedures while waiting for your Chem-Dry On The Spot technician to arrive:
Spills & Stains
Do:
✔ Take action immediately before the stain spreads.
✔ With a blunt-edged instrument, gently move the edges of the stain back.
✔ Move it towards the centre of the spill to avoid spreading.
✔ Blot up the staining substance with a clean towel.
✔ Do not rub or agitate the area.
✔ Use warm water to dampen a towel and continue to blot the stain.
✔ Keep the stain moist by placing a damp cloth over the area until help arrives.
✔ Cover enamel paint with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying.
Do Not:
✖ Lift or roll up the carpet
✖ Rub the stain – only blot
✖ Try to dry the area using a heater
✖ Use solvents, household detergents/soaps, turpentine, etc.
Flood and Water Damage
Do:
✔ Try to stop the source of the water if possible.
✔ Mop up as much excess water as possible using a wet/dry vacuum or towels.
✔ Open windows and ventilate the room as much as possible.
✔ If you have a fan, blow cold air through the room.
Do Not:
✖ Lift or remove the carpet.
✖ Apply heat either directly or indirectly in an attempt to dry out the carpet (this can lead to secondary damage).
✖ Use bleaches, detergents, disinfectants or cleaning products.
