• When you are dealing with loose dyes, sensitive fibres or colours, it is recommended to test the chosen chemical solution in an inconspicuous area of the carpet first.

• Rubbing of stains should always be avoided as it causes damage to the carpet fibres and will alter the appearance of the carpet.

Please note stubborn carpet stains will probably require special stain removal chemicals and technical skills. Before you try to remove stains especially older ones it is advisable that you contact a trained carpet technician for further stain removal advice.
