One Call Cleans It All – 24/7 Service | Call (800) 794-9241
Whether you live in West Covina, San Dimas, Pomona, Azusa, Diamond Bar, or anywhere in the San Gabriel Valley, chances are your carpets have seen their share of spills.
From weekend parties to everyday family life, stains happen fast—and many are harder to remove than you think.
Here, the experts at Buyher’s Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning, with over 38 years of local experience, share the seven most common carpet stains and explain how professionals safely remove them.
1. Red Wine & Dark Beverages
Why It’s Tough: Tannins in red wine and dark sodas penetrate carpet fibers quickly.
Professional Solution: We pre-treat with eco-friendly, pH-balanced solutions and use hot-water extraction (steam cleaning) to lift color without damaging fibers.
2. Coffee & Tea
Why It’s Tough: Natural dyes and acidic compounds leave brown discoloration.
Professional Solution: A mild acid rinse and controlled steam cleaning neutralize the stain and prevent re-soiling.
3. Pet Accidents
Why It’s Tough: Urine contains ammonia and bacteria that create persistent odors.
Professional Solution: Our enzyme-based treatments break down odor-causing bacteria at the source, then we perform a thorough steam extraction to sanitize.
4. Grease & Cooking Oils
Why It’s Tough: Grease clings to carpet fibers and attracts dirt.
Professional Solution: We apply specialized degreasers that emulsify oils, then rinse with hot water to remove residue completely.
5. Mud & Outdoor Soil
Why It’s Tough: Fine particles work deep into fibers and can scratch them if scrubbed.
Professional Solution: After the mud dries, we vacuum with high-powered equipment, then deep clean using steam extraction to lift soil without grinding it in.
6. Ink & Marker
Why It’s Tough: Pigments are designed to be permanent.
Professional Solution: We carefully apply solvents formulated for ink removal, followed by a gentle rinse to protect carpet color and texture.
7. Candle Wax & Gum
Why It’s Tough: Waxy or sticky substances harden and bond to fibers.
Professional Solution: We soften wax or gum with controlled heat, then lift it out before performing a complete steam clean to remove any oily residue.
Why Professional Cleaning Beats DIY
While DIY cleaners can handle small surface spills, they often leave behind:
- Soap residue that attracts more dirt
- Over-wetting, which can cause mold
- Incomplete stain removal, allowing discoloration to resurface
Our team uses industrial-grade equipment and eco-friendly solutions to deep clean carpets without these risks.
How to Protect Your Carpets Between Cleanings
- Vacuum high-traffic areas weekly to reduce soil buildup.
- Blot, don’t rub, spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
- Schedule professional cleaning every 6–12 months if you have pets or heavy foot traffic, or every 12–18 months for standard households.
