2. Pre-spray Stain With Designated Solution (designated solution picked from the Royal Restoration flow chart): There are many stain fighting solutions that are specifically designed for designated stains. Let solution absorb stain and carpet fibers. You may want to agitate stain with a light bristle brush to break up stain deposits. Be sure to test an inconspicuous piece of carpet before applying directly to carpet. Also make sure not to damage carpet fibers by brushing carpet too hard. After a few minutes of allowing chemicals to work, fully heat steam extract carpet. A good example for this process is to spray Royal Blue (oil base stain solution) as your pre-spray, using a hand held trigger sprayer, onto a oil based stain. You also may want to acidic rinse (Royal Rinse) the stain to eliminate soap residue, Using Royal Rinse in the solution tank of your extraction unit.

3. Chemical Heat Press Stain Removal Technique: This is an advanced treatment of stains. Products such as Red Relief (from the makers of C.T.I- Pros Choice), requires you to mix parts A and B on site before application. You then apply mixed solution onto designated areas, followed by a light brushing of chemicals into stain. Then dampen a terry cloth, and press a hot iron onto terry cloth over staining of carpet. These chemicals require professional application and should be used by a technician with some degree of training or thorough instruction. Please call our office for full instruction of chemicals that require this method of stain removal.

4. Dying Carpeting: You may elect to dye the carpet one color to another. This can be done in two ways. You can spot dye stains to original carpet color, or you may dye the entire room another color. Either way training or detailed instruction will be required. Spot dying stains from one color to another can easily be accomplished with detailed instruction. For example: You can dye a light orange colored stain, back to its original beige color, by adding blue dye. When the blue dye is mixed carefully in a hand held trigger sprayer, with hot water to generate a strike ( strike is carpets ability to properly absorb dye), you can lightly spray stain while extracting over sprayed solution until the stain goes from one color to another. You can browse our product section for available spot dye kits, or call us for any questions regarding your interest in dying. Spot dying can help any carpet cleaning technician with the ability to treat stains that can not be otherwise removed. Dying entire areas, or apartments, can be very attractive for customers, and very profitable.


5. Patch Repairing Carpet: Patching a stain is a carpet cleaner’s last resort. Patching so that a customer can not see it, takes practice. With the right tools for the job, anyone can patch carpet like the pros. Patching a stain is cutting out the stained carpet and replacing the hole with matching carpet. You can match it perfectly by pulling a piece from a closet. The cutting of the carpet must be precise and can be perfectly cut with a razor carpet cutting device. This specialized item and razor replacements can be purchased by visiting our products section. You must cut the new carpet with the same dimensions as the replaced carpet. This is easy with our razor knife, which sets into place by locking in place for custom cutting. You must apply hot seam tape under patched area, then place a terry cloth over installed carpet, and heat tape by applying heat gun, or hot iron over terry cloth. The heat will melt the tape so that the carpet glues to surrounding edges. Although a last resort, patching is a valuable tool in the carpet cleaning profession. We also carry a full line of carpet repair kits, power stretching equipment, and carpet kickers.
