Permanent Staining

Please note while we have a “Happiness Guarantee” we do not provide any guarantee or warranty for the removal of permanent stains. Situations of extreme carpet soiling and staining that are beyond routine spots and spills will be specifically excluded from free follow up visits/service calls. Hourly cleaning charges may apply for extreme soiling and staining situations.

While most carpets are made of synthetic fibres that are quite resistant to permanent staining, there are some things that may permanently change the colour of the fibres in your carpet. What we are talking about here is manageable, small permanent stains which you may be ok with. If your home has extensive soiling and/or staining, please check our post on whether to keep or replace your carpet.

  • Bleach – bleach and cleaning products containing bleach actually chemically alter your carpet colour. Cleaning this will not restore the original colour. A carpet repair company may be able to re-dye the spots to match the original colour of the carpet.
  • Acne medications & some sunscreens – can contain chemicals that will have a similar effect as bleach.
  • Some food dyes
  • Coffee – the tannins in coffee, especially when combined with cream and spilled when hot can create stains that are very difficult or impossible to remove
  • Paint
  • Ink
  • Greases & Oils
  • Some makeup

Improving your chances of getting it all out

  1. Blot (don’t rub) up as much as possible as soon as possible
  2. Use clean white cloths with something heavy on top to wick up liquid that may have seeped deep into the carpet or underlay
  3. Carefully check the StainGuide before attempting DIY stain removal
  4. For extreme spills or stains, seek professional help ASAP

Alberta Carpet Cleaning Reviews

I loved the communication with this company from the day before to the day of. We had an unexpected insurance claim in our home that has been extremely stressful, but these guys were a DREAM to deal with at the tailend of the clean-up! Very professional and got right to it! I was able to book the furnace cleaning with the carpet cleaning immediately after. I didn't catch the names of the furnace team, but they were quick and thorough and double-checked vent counts with me before completion and were very informative. Mark and Marc were my carpet cleaning guys and are an amazing duo. Highly recommend. I'd give a 10 if I could!

Had a wonderful experience with the ladies in the office who were very gracious in rescheduling my appointment time and a great experience with Chris. He did a great job, very friendly , efficient and communication was great! Would absolutely recommend and will use them in the future. Thank you!

This is a wonderful company who has great values of integrity. We had tenants that left our property with significant pet damage, and our service tech fully inspected the place and was honest, advising we needed to actually rip out the flooring and repair it as the carpet cleaning would not solve the issue. I am so grateful for honest companies who value integrity and not just pocketing money. Thank you! We will continue to trust and reccomend your services.

I had my carpet cleaned today with Alberta Carpet Cleaning and I am 100% satisfied! There is an immediate difference and a lot of the flat areas have been lifted! It smells great and I'm now patiently waiting for it to dry. Jason communicated the process so well and was super pleasant to deal with. He was a breath of fresh air and extremely professional.
