Water Stains

When carpets get wet, spots can happen. Water is a natural solvent. It causes soil in carpets and other deep-set materials to dissolve,
“wick up” and dry on the tips of fibers. The brown discoloration which forms is referred to as a water stain. Neglected, they can be tough
to remove — sometimes even we professionals can’t remove them.

Overflows, spills, melting snow, tracked in water, rain
through an open window, pipes bursting, leaky radiators,
floods, even over wetting by do-it-yourself shampooers and rental cleaners can cause water stains.

You may not even know they’re there. Gradual or uniform
soiling on the face yarns may cause the stain to go
unnoticed until it’s professionally cleaned. Once the dirt is removed, the dye-like water stain becomes noticeable.
Water is essential to professional carpet cleaning. But
proper training, equipment, and cleaning solutions are
required to safely clean carpet — to avoid over wetting
and “residual soiling”.  Wet spots don’t always result in
water stains. But if you have concerns, give us a call.
