Stain Removal
Professional stain identification and fibre‑safe treatment.
Different stains react differently depending on fibre type, pH, age of the stain and any previous attempts to clean it. Some stains can be improved, while others may cause permanent colour loss. DIY products often set stains or damage fibres, so a proper assessment is needed before treatment.
Some stains cause permanent colour loss. In these cases, the stain can be improved, but full restoration may not be possible.
How Stains Behave in Carpet Fibres
General Stain (Included During Carpet Cleaning)
Grey/black spots (oil‑based)
Light food marks
Drink spills
Small protein spots
$20 per area
Advanced Stains (Require Specialist Treatment)
Some stains need extra time, fibre testing, or DG chemistry. These are charged due to the complexity and cost of treatment:
Rust
Browning
Urine
Dye stains
Heavy food dyes
Old protein
Peroxide‑related stains
These stains are more difficult and may not fully remove depending on age, fibre type, and previous cleaning attempts.
$20 per area
Browning Disclaimer
Browning stains are assessed on arrival. Many browning stains are permanent — especially if they’ve been present for years or were caused by previous cleaning attempts. Browning treatment may lighten the area but full removal is not guaranteed.
