There are four primary spots and stains that occur on carpet, rug and upholstery:
-
Petroleum Based Stains such as Gum, Grease, Tar, Ink, Adhesive and Glue require a solvent to break apart the grease molecules so that they can be lifted away from the carpet fibers.
These are some of the hardest stains to remove because the majority of carpets sold today are made from petroleum-based fibers that attract and chemically bond to oily molecules. -
Biological Stains are stains originating from body secretion such as Vomit, Blood and Feces.
Removal of these stains usually require enzyme products such as Pro-Zyme. -
Synthetic Dye-Based Stains such as Kool-Aid®, Fruit Punch, Colored Candy and Cough Syrup.
Removal of these dye stains usually require reducing bleaching stain removers such as Red-1 and Red Relief to chemically bleach out the stain without bleaching the fibers. -
Organic Based Stains are stains from a natural source such as Wood Furniture, Mustard, Coffee, Mold, Tea and Urine.
Removal of these stains usually require oxidizing bleaching stain removers such as Hdrogen Peroxide, Stain-1 and Stain Magic. - Of course, I have to add 1 more - “OTHER” such as Rust that does not fit any other category!
