How Does It Happen?

Sometimes when the cleaning is not done properly, the stains can reappear again and again. This can happen even after professional carpet steam cleaning in Sydney, if you didn’t get a good and experienced cleaning service provider company.

These persistent stains appear because of something called ‘wicking’. Now you might be wondering what that is?

What Is Wicking?

When the cleaning is done, it is important to make sure that there are no residues left of water, moisture, cleaning agents or chemicals. When the cleaner fails to do that, your carpet faces the wicking. Wicking is when the residue that was left behind in the lower layers of the carpet beneath the surface, comes up to the surface. Now if the residue is colored, the residue will show up like stains on the surface. 

Why the Reappearing?

When the residue is seated deep within the carpet, when it comes back to the surface and you have it cleaned, often more than not only the surface is cleaned and hence the rest of the residue at the bottom keeps gradually resurfacing. The deep seated residue that causes stains on the surface can be sitting on the last layer of the carpet at bottom or might have even slipped to the padding below the carpet.

How to Deal With It?

First of all, make sure that you hire a professional carpet cleaner who knows how to clean the carpet properly without causing such issues. In most cases, this is caused when the stains are of pet urine since it has a large amount of liquid which gets absorbed into the layers of the carpet quickly. Especially when you try to clean such stains with DIY methods, the issue gets worse due to lack of experience as well as the required expertise to deal with such scenarios. 

What can you do in the immediate moments?

You might be wondering, what you can do! First things first, when the staining is taking place, soak up as much of the staining liquid as possible but make sure not to press the surface, you will end up pushing residue in layers deep down.
