Home spot and stain treatment is an important part of maintaining your carpet. Use these tips to treat spots or spills as soon as possible when they happen.
Important stain Removal Tips
Never Use Bleach
Bleach can remove lots of stains, unfortunately it will also remove the color from your carpet.
Act Quickly
The older the stain, the more difficult it is to remove. Absorb liquid with clean white towel or paper towels and scrape up solid material. Work from the outside spot toward the center to avoid spreading it.
Test Solution First
on a portion of the fiber or the carpet that is not normally visible.
Blot Gently Between Steps
Rubbing or aggressive blotting can cause a stain to spread or penetrate deeper. A clean white towel or paper towel allows you to see when you are no longer absorbing the spot or stain.
BE PATIENT! Repeat the procedure several times until no more residue shows on your towel.

What Our Customers Have To Say
Had two professional and kind gentlemen attend at my house to clean my ducts. The air quality seems so much better and my house smells amazing after the disinfectant spray that was used. Highly recommend!

Excellent service, the guys were very professional. I really appreciated the time they took to fix my dryer vent issue.
The two service technicians were on time and professional. They worked quickly and cleaned up after them selves.
Happy with the service overall. The Gentlemen were courteous, friendly and did a great job. Small issue/suggestion: I noticed there was a lot of dust blow on the furnace room floor, boxes and mudroom that I had to clean up after they left. Wish they had doublechecked and cleaned up the mess created.
