Carpet cleaners spend their careers trying to master the chemistry of stain removal. Some cleaners gain the enough knowledge to remove many stubborn stains while others are never able to achieve consistent success with specialist stain removal.

This enables us to get 100% stain removal more often than our competitors.
This simple yet crucial unique selling point has been the key to our success.
Carpet cleaning and in particular stain removal, is absolutely no different to what chemists learn to do in the lab. The procedure to remove contaminates from carpet and fabric includes the following lab practises. These include using polar and non-polar solvents, emulsification, saponification, reduction, oxidation as well as general acid and base chemistry. Other parameters to optimize include temperature control, agitation (kinetic energy) and reaction times which all differ depending on the treatment being applied. The suitability and intensity of each treatment varies depending on the fibre type and methods of construction.
Other skills are needed as a carpet cleaner and these things can only be mastered through experience in the industry. Things like knowledge of fibre types and backing materials are easier to master when you understand the chemistry behind it all. Choosing the appropriate treatments is crucial to safe and effective carpet and furniture cleaning.
