Everyone out there has experienced spots and stains on their carpet and upholstery.

The first reaction is, try to get the spot up! Typically one uses a house held item you can buy at the store. Today, I tell you to not use these store bought spot & stain removers. The majority of spots & stains have a lot of chemistry behind them, which means each stain specifically has a different Ph, meaning they could be to alkaline, or to acidic. If using the wrong product, you can set the stain believe it or not! Also, most of these store bought stain removers are so potent that they need to extracted thoroughly with either A cold water or B warm water.

The one thing I recommend to all my customers is to always soak up what you can with a dry rag (fresh spot) or a lightly damp rag(dried spot). It is also ok to dilute a spot with warm or cold water and extract with a shop vac(do not forget to remove filter & bag from shop vac). Then call a professional!

So today, if you have a spot or stain... Leave it be and call a professional!
