The Difference Between a Spot and a Stain on Your Rug

Starting with a spot: a spot is a new substance on your rug. At this point no one has tried to work on it or remove it.  A spot is easier to remove because the unwanted substance is still on the surface.

Stains can be old spots, and spots that have had time to set and become more permanent.  A stain can be removed with the correct organic treatment at The Persian Rug Cleaning Company of Dallas. 

Do not remove spots or stains at home with anything more than water and dish soap or baking soda. Harsh chemicals and cleaners react with the rug’s fibers and can cause color change and color bleeding, as well as fiber breakage. The wrong cleaner, scrubbing method, and time passing cause the spot to sink further into the pile of the rug which makes the color change and the damage harder to remove even by professionals.

Persian Rug Cleaner of Dallas will pick up your rug from your home or office, handwash, restore and refresh them and deliver them at your convenience.
