Can you get old set-in stains out?
Most of the time, yes, with the exception of bleach damage and dye transfer into fibers. A 6-month-old coffee stain or pet stain usually comes out with the right enzyme or tannin remover and a hot extraction. We do a test in a corner before we commit, and we tell you honestly if we think it's permanent.
Why do stains come back after I clean them?
Wicking. When the carpet dries, residual stain material in the backing wicks up the fibers and re-deposits at the surface. The fix is a proper extraction that pulls the stain out of the backing, not just the face yarn. That's what our truck mount does that a spray-and-blot can't.
