Spot & Stain Removal
|
For the professional textile cleaner, the part of the job most scrutinized by the client is spot and stain removal.
The client has high expectations and would like the carpet to come out looking brand new. As professionals, we understand that certain chemicals and dyes cause permanent damage to carpet fibers.
In light of this, as a professional textile cleaner you must be able to advise why certain stains on carpet fiber cannot be corrected by cleaning. You need to be armed with scientific information and must be able to educate your client on the technical aspects and chemistry involved in stain removal. Possessing excellent spot-and-stain-removal skills is such an integral part of the job it is crucial that you know as much about it as possible.
There are many factors and variables influencing the outcome when attempting to remove spots and stains from carpet: the type of fiber; age of carpet; dye method (i.e., solution dyed, continuous dyed, beck dyed, print dyed, etc.); length of time spot or stain has remained on carpet; previous cleaning attempts and improper cleaning, to name a few. The reality is, you must understand that spot and stain removal is not a perfect science. The professional can have the best of the best in their spotting kit and still fall short when it comes to stain removal. The job, when it comes to spot and stain removal, is to use reasonable care to obtain a satisfactory result. Professionals quickly learn that, due to the nature and construction of carpet fibers, various stains may cause permanent damage.
Your most common problems come from bleach; dyes; oils; cosmetics; pet stains and acid-based spills from fruit juices and food. The textile cleaner during pre-inspection must evaluate the spot or stain first before cleaning begins to give the client realistic expectations: the cleaning process cannot repair damaged carpet. When it comes to advanced stain removal, the textile cleaner will often use heat-release systems (i.e., red-stain removal products used with a wet towel and iron). There are newly developed oxidizing products made to use without heat that add oxygen to oxidize the stain, making it invisible to the naked eye. There are also reducing agents that strip oxygen to make stains invisible. For stains like mustard, you can increase success with oxidizers by allowing a black light to shine on the affected area. Advanced techniques are nothing to fool with without hands-on experience and education. Proper education will limit risk and help alleviate fear when working on spots and stains.
Pre-inspection is key to success when it comes to spot and stain removal. You must communicate with the client by setting realistic expectations and not offering a sense of false hope. The professional must be educated enough in the science of stain removal to advise the client on the difference between a spot or stain. A spot would be defined as “foreign particles on the carpet that have not affected the dye sites of the fiber that can be removed.” A stain is “when the dye site of the carpet fiber is permanently altered with the addition of dyes.” Damage is “when the carpet is physically damaged or color has been permanently removed by bleaching.”
Remember, the best of the best cannot restore fiber damage or replace lost color with what is contained in your spotting kit. Speaking of spotting kits, you will have a greater success rate with a well-developed spotting kit. Even when you cannot remove a stain that has damaged the carpet, the client must see you have the tools and knowledge and have made a conscious effort to remove the stain. The spotting kit exudes pride and professionalism in the hands of a well-educated technician. When you go for a car repair and see the mechanic with that 13-story-high Snap-on tool chest with a uniform that states “certified technician” and the shop is clean and neat, your psychological perspective and awareness increases. The mindset is, “these technicians are dead serious about their business and possess the knowledge necessary to be successful.”
I cannot stress pre-inspection enough. Proper pre-inspection of the carpet adds tremendous value, in addition to making your client a big fan who would gladly recommend your service. After completing your pre-inspection, provide the client with a completed pre-inspection form indicating all existing spots and stains, especially those which appear to be permanent. Make sure you have a statement on the form that says you cannot guarantee to remove all stains and that the client is made aware of this. It would be prudent to have the client initial or sign the form. A good rule of thumb is, don’t promise what you can’t deliver. Another good rule is to under-promise and overachieve. What helps in cases when you cannot remove a stain is to hand the customer an educational pamphlet that explains why that type of stain has caused permanent damage to the carpet.

Cleaning your Upholstery
Upholstered furniture has a more varied range of materials and manufacturing methods than carpet. Our knowledgeable technicians can identify the fabric type of each upholstered piece and what cleaning methods will give your upholstery the best, safest and longest lasting results.
Sofas
Recliners
Dinning chairs
Love Seats
Arm Chairs
Leather furniture
professional technicians are specially trained in the care of all fabric types, even the most delicate, so you can feel comfortable in knowing they’ll choose the proper upholstery cleaning solution for your furniture. And using specially designed tools to gently clean folds and crevices, they’ll ensure the entire piece is entirely clean.
A Two-Step Process For A Clean You Can See And Feel
Your furniture is as important to a room’s appearance as your carpet. That’s why Lvhsystems uses the same process for upholstery cleaning that we do for carpet cleaning. Our exclusive two-step upholstery cleaning system includes a specially formulated pH-balancing fiber rinse that removes cleaning solution residue right along with deep-down dirt - leaving nothing behind but clean, fresh-smelling fabric and furniture.
How it works:
When our specially trained upholstery care technicians arrive at your home, they start with a pre-inspection to identify problem areas. Any problem spot areas are pre-treated. Then the Lvhsystems Two-Step Upholstery Deep Clean process goes to work:
Clean One of our special heated upholstery cleaning solutions is applied to the fabric to loosen imbedded dirt.
Rinse It’s followed by a thorough fiber rinse and extraction step to remove the dirt along with the cleaning solution.
We then recommend an application of Lvhsystems UltraCare™ FourGuard Carpet and Upholstery Protector (optional). Reapplying the fabric protector helps restore protective properties to your furniture, extending its life and making it easier to care for.
Make Sure You Are Properly Insured
Post Inspection A final inspection helps ensure satisfaction. You can count on Lvhsystems for Satisfaction Guaranteed.
The Importance of Protecting Your Upholstery
Most new upholstered furniture comes treated with protector. But this protection wears off over time. Having the protector reapplied helps preserve the color, beauty and life of your upholstery. And it gives you extra time to clean up spills before they turn into stains.
Deodorizers
Get Rid of the Odors in Your Furniture Pleasant beats pungent any day. And tough upholstery odors are no match for UltraCare™ FreshScent Plus+ Deodorizer, an enzyme- powered deodorizer designed to attack odor-causing organic sources. The enzymes in FreshScent Plus+ eliminate odors from urine, feces, vomit, sour milk and more by actually digesting the organic matter that's causing the smell - leaving your furniture smelling good again.
