Breaking the Circle of Returning Carpet Stains

You spilled something on your carpet once upon a time and it had left stains on it. You
did all you could to remove those spots and were successful in doing that but now you
are perplexed. You cleaned the stain thoroughly and it had disappeared completely, but a
few days or weeks later it is back! Yes, you start to notice that a spot is forming on the
exact same area where the spill had happened and now your carpet looks soiled. Just like
many other residents in Carpet Cleaning DC, you too face a problem of returning carpet
stains.

But wait, how could a stain that you had cleaned so thoroughly reappear just like that?
Your carpet cleaning crew did a fantastic job last time. How could they have missed a
spot? Or did they? Well, there are two possibilities.
Soiling
Soiling can happen when any residue gets left behind on your carpet after the cleaning
process is complete. The fibers of the carpet absorb the dirt and any cleanser particles left
behind while treating the original stain. This is very common if the carpet is not
completely rinsed and blotted dry with paper towels or a clean cloth. Over time this
residue would become sticky and attract more dirt and soil to the exact same area making
it look as if the stain has returned.
How To Deal With Soiling

If you are sure that any reappearing stains on your carpet are the result of soiling caused
by dirt and cleanser residue, then the right thing to do is pour some lukewarm water on
that spot. Make sure that the entire area is wet enough but not dripping with water. You
should take enough water to enable thorough rinsing. This will help you get rid of the
residue trapped in the fibers of the carpet.

Wicking
Another major problem of carpet cleaning that many families in Washington DC face is
wicking. Yes, wicking is wicked! It happens when the wine or the pasta sauce that you
spilled gets soaked through the fibers of the carpet into its backing. Your carpet cleaning
crew will examine the carpet from both front and back to see if there is any wicking that
might be leading to those returning stains.

How To Deal With Wicking
The ideal thing to do now is to call your professional carpet cleaning company in Carpet
Cleaning Washington DC. They will use hot water extraction and/or steam to extract the
stubborn residue from the under pad of the carpet. This way your carpets will regain their
beauty and original texture in no time.
