Stain-by-Stain Guide

What Not to Do

- Don't use hot water on protein stains (blood, dairy) — it sets them.

- Don't over-wet the carpet — it can cause mould underneath. If that's already happened, see mould removal.

- Don't scrub hard — it frays fibres.

When Steam Cleaning Wins

Set-in or large stains usually need professional hot water extraction. For pricing, see carpet cleaning costs in Sydney. It's also required for most end of lease cleans.
