One of the most common questions we get asked is:
"How do I get red w**e out of my carpet?"
The honest answer is, act fast.
If you spill red w**e:
• Blot it immediately with clean kitchen roll or a white cloth.
• Don't rub it. Rubbing pushes the stain deeper into the fibres.
• Use cold water, not hot.
• Blot again until no more colour transfers.
• Avoid random internet remedies. Some make the stain permanent.
The biggest mistake we see is waiting until the next day. By then the stain has often set and becomes much harder to remove.
The same advice applies to coffee, tea, fruit juice and many pet accidents.
The good news is that not all carpets are created equal when it comes to stains.
Polypropylene carpets are naturally stain resistant, making them a popular choice for busy family homes, landlords and anyone wanting a practical, low maintenance floor.
For wool and other carpet types, we offer professional stain protection treatments which provide an extra layer of defence against everyday spills and accidents, giving you added peace of mind and helping your carpet stay looking its best for longer.
