Types of Stains We Remove
Different stains require different approaches. What works on coffee won’t work on ink, and the wrong treatment can actually set a stain permanently. Here are the common stain types we deal with:
- Beverage stains like coffee, tea, wine, juice, and soda are among our most common calls. These stains contain tannins and sugars that bond quickly to carpet fibers. Red wine is particularly challenging because of its pigment, but we’ve removed countless wine stains from carpets throughout Chicago.
- Pet stains present unique challenges because they involve both color and odor. The visible stain is just part of the problem, the urine or other material often soaks deep into the carpet pad. We work closely with our pet stain and odor removal services to address both issues.
- Food stains vary widely. Grease-based stains from pizza, butter, or cooking oil need different treatment than tomato sauce or mustard. Chocolate combines fat and color, making it tricky. We assess each food stain individually.
- Ink and dye stains are some of the toughest. Permanent marker, printer ink, and hair dye can seem hopeless, but we have specialized solutions that can often lift these stubborn marks.
- Blood and bodily fluid stains require careful handling. Hot water can set these stains permanently, which is why DIY attempts often make things worse. We use cold treatments and enzyme-based products.
Our Professional Stain Removal Process
When we arrive, the first thing we do is assess the stain. We look at what type of stain it is, how long it’s been there, what the carpet fiber is made of, and what treatments have already been tried. This information determines our approach.
Next, we test our treatment on a hidden area of carpet. Different carpet materials react differently to cleaning solutions, and we never want to cause additional damage.
Then we apply the appropriate pre-treatment. This might be an enzyme solution for organic stains, a solvent for oil-based stains, or a specialized product for dyes. We let the treatment dwell long enough to break down the stain.
Finally, we extract the stain and treatment using our professional equipment. For difficult stains, we may repeat this process several times. The goal is always complete removal without damaging your carpet.
Why DIY Stain Removal Often Fails
We often get calls from people who’ve made a stain worse by trying to fix it themselves. The most common mistakes include:
Rubbing instead of blotting, which spreads the stain and pushes it deeper into fibers. Using hot water on protein-based stains, which sets them permanently. Over-wetting the carpet, which can cause mold and mildew. Using the wrong cleaning product for the stain type.
Store-bought spot cleaners can also cause problems. Some leave sticky residues that attract more dirt. Others contain bleaching agents that can discolor your carpet. And products that seem to work initially sometimes cause the stain to reappear days later as it wicks back up from the pad.
If you’ve already tried treating a stain yourself, that’s okay. Just tell us what products you used so we can factor that into our approach. We’ve rescued many carpets from well-intentioned DIY attempts.
Emergency Stain Removal Services
Some stains need immediate attention. Red wine at a dinner party, a pet accident before guests arrive, a spill before an open house, we understand that sometimes you can’t wait for a scheduled appointment.
We offer same-day and emergency stain removal services for situations that can’t wait. The sooner we can treat a fresh stain, the better the outcome. A stain that’s minutes old is much easier to remove than one that’s had days to set.
Call us at +17735704224 and explain the situation. If we can get to you quickly, we will. We serve all of Chicago and can often arrive within a couple of hours for urgent situations.

Tips for Handling Fresh Stains
While you’re waiting for us, here’s what to do (and not do) with a fresh stain:
Blot immediately with clean white cloths or paper towels. Work from the outside of the stain toward the center to avoid spreading it. Don’t rub, press, and lift.
For solid spills, gently scrape up as much as possible with a spoon or dull knife before blotting any remaining liquid.
Avoid using hot water unless you know it’s safe for that specific stain. Room temperature or cold water is usually safer.
Don’t panic and grab the first cleaning product you see. It’s better to just blot with water and wait for professional help than to set the stain with the wrong treatment.
