Curious about when to call for emergency carpet stain removal in Auckland? Read on as we break down why it’s important to treat stains quickly and which stains warrant an emergency callout.
Why Call for Emergency Stain
Removal?
When bad carpet stains occur, it is vital to move quickly to preserve the carpets’ condition. There are three major reasons why calling for immediate carpet stain removal is important.
Preventing Permanent Damage
Depending on the stain, you might experience a permanent and lasting mark on your carpet if the mess is left untreated. Some stains can penetrate deep into the fibres of the carpet, sometimes even reaching the carpet backing! This makes them almost impossible to remove without causing damage to the fibres. By calling in a professional team, you can rest easy knowing the stain will be totally taken care of without risking any permanent damage.
Preserving Carpet Quality
High-quality carpets are an investment in your home’s comfort and aesthetic appeal. While it can be tempting to leave stains untreated or only use home-grade treatments, in certain cases, this can spell trouble for the longevity of your beautiful carpets. Emergency stain removal helps to extend a carpet’s lifespan, ensuring it retains the original texture and colour for as long as possible.
Health and Hygiene
Left untreated, stains can become a breeding ground for bacteria, allergens and unpleasant odours. This can impact the aesthetics of your home and pose a potential health risk to anyone in your family with respiratory issues, allergies or compromised immune systems.
This is especially true when it comes to small children, as they spend their time crawling around on the floor. Promptly removing tough stains with professional intervention eliminates this hazard, promoting an ultra-hygienic indoor environment. This is even better when you opt for carpet sanitisation, another service we can help you with
When to Call for Emergency
Stain Removal
In some cases, stains are easily treatable at home and don’t warrant an emergency callout. However, this is not the case for every spill. There are certain scenarios where immediate professional intervention is necessary to maintain the longevity of your carpets. Let’s dive a little deeper.
Ink or Paint Spills
Working with any kind of artistic medium, such as dye, ink, or paint, can spell dire trouble for your carpets when there’s a spill. Ink and paint are designed to soak into fibres and stain them a different colour, promising a lasting stain on your carpet if left untreated. This is especially true with oil-based inks and paints, which contain strong pigments that are difficult to remove with household methods.
Many clients came to us after attempting to remove paint spill stains on their own. Unfortunately, this usually spreads the stain further, as paint is designed to drag pigment as far as possible before drying down.
Our carpet stain removal Auckland teams are equipped with specialised solvents to remove ink and paint stains without compromising your carpet fibres. It’s important to act quickly, as the longer the stain has to dry, the less likely it will come out completely.
Red Wine Spills
Having a quiet gathering with friends is a great time to enjoy red wine. But every once in a while, this can result in a nasty spill. If not attended to quickly and properly, the tannins in the red wine will quickly penetrate the carpet fibres, leading to permanent discolouration. The odour from a red wine spill can also linger, leaving your house smelling boozy day and night.
Emergency stain removal specialists like the Carpet Surgeon team can help prevent the stain from setting, lifting the red pigment from your carpet and eradicating the boozy smell.
Pet Accidents
As most pet owners know, at some point, you will end up with pet stains on your lovely carpet. It’s an unfortunate truth of caring for a cat or dog, but you don’t have to resign yourself to giving up on your carpets.
Our emergency stain removal team employs environmentally friendly enzymatic cleaners that break down the organic matter in pet accidents. This removes the stain from your carpet and neutralises the odours. Left untreated, these stains will not only continue to smell but can also invite the onset of mould and bacterial growth in your home.
Not to mention, pets often seek out spots that smell like their ‘accidents’ as places to go again, and this can spell trouble for paw-rents of senior dogs or housetraining puppies. Therefore, it’s important to treat these stains quickly and thoroughly.
Grease Stains
Unfortunately, grease stains are fairly common and can be very difficult to remove. Grease is technically liquid fat, which will solidify the longer it is left in your carpet. As an oil, this can be difficult to lift with standard household-grade cleaning supplies, often resulting in a persistent food stain that can invite bad smells, bacteria and more into your home’s carpet.
Our emergency carpet stain removal Auckland specialists come equipped with the right supplies to dry out the stain, remove the oil from your carpet fibres, and neutralise any grease smells. Left too long, the grease stain will become permanent, so it’s important to act fast.
