| Stain Removal and Protection
The carpet and furniture in your house is one of your most expensive investments. Spills on your carpet and furniture are very annoying and generally provoke vocabulary like, gosh. golly, gee-whiz, and a few other choice words. Well the good news is that most spills are treatable by you. The initial response to a spill should be blotting…….not rubbing. Take a white terry cloth towel or white paper towels and press down on the spilled area and this will cause it to “wick up” into the towel. Do not rub/scrub the soiling it will force it deeper into the effected material. At the end set of all this you may still be able to ‘see’ where the spill occurred, however, you have greatly reduced the possibility of ‘staining’. This is not to say there will not still be a stain showing. In some cases they are not spills but something rubbed off onto a material. This could be lipstick, crayon, paint, wax, or a list of many other things prone to end up where they shouldn’t be. In any case if you don’t know what to do to remove the soiling, don’t guess. Guessing wrong may ‘set’ the stain. In many cases the product label will give you a solution to use. As professionals in this industry we have different products and tools we use to separate the stain from the fabric it’s embedded in. Even with our considerable expertise and equipment it is sometimes very difficult to remove a stain. We highly recommend the use of stain blockers. There are a few on the market. We prescribe to the Scotchguard ® brand and a private label that has worked very well for us. Both of these solutions are water based. Even though these stain blockers are very effective don’t be fooled into the fact they are the cure all to end all. They simply provide a fiber coating to help protect it from absorption and make spillage less likely to penetrate if addressed quickly.
