Damaged by the sun: 

Fading

The UV rays in sunlight break down the dye molecules in fabrics, causing them to fade. This can lead to a patchy or uneven appearance. 

Weakening

The UV rays can also break down the chemical bonds in fabrics, causing them to weaken and become more brittle. This can make the fabric more prone to tears and wear. 

Structural damage

The damage caused by UV rays can weaken the structural integrity of fabrics, especially delicate fabrics like silk, lace, and chiffon.

Gradual process

The effects of UV damage aren't immediate but increase in impact over time. 

Here are some ways to protect fabrics from sun damage: 

• Rotate furniture: Rotating furniture can slow down the fading process. 

• Use darker colours: Darker colours tend to absorb UV rays better than lighter colours. 

• Use tighter weaves: Tighter weaves can prevent UV light from penetrating the fabric. 

• Use window treatments: Lined curtains, blinds, or shades can protect fabrics from the sun. 

• Use window film: Window film can block out UV rays and prevent sun-fading. 

• Fabric protectors: Reapply each time you have your carpets & upholstery cleaned

Please note we can't get rid of wear and tear, UV damage, or anything that has bleached or dyed the fabrics in your carpets & upholstery

UV Damage

All carpet & upholstery cleaners companies can not guarantee they can remove every single stain, as the success depends on the stain's type, age, and what caused it, along with the carpet's and upholsterys material. However, we have specialised solutions and techniques to remove most stains, including many stubborn ones that home methods cannot. We give you a realistic expectation before attempting the job. Once a stain, mark, or spill has become permanent, its permanent

Factors affecting stain removal

• At-home attempts: Previous cleaning attempts, even if unsuccessful, can sometimes make a stain harder to remove because the methods or products used can make it set further.

• Stain type: Some stains, such as those from dyes, acids, or caustics, are much harder to remove than others.

• Stain age: Older stains are more likely to have set into the carpet fibers & upholstery fabrics, making them more difficult to lift 

• Carpet/Upholstery fiber: The type of material will affect how it reacts to different cleaning solutions. Professionals are trained to identify the material and use the safest, most effective method. 

What professionals can do

• Use specialised solutions: They have access to more powerful and effective cleaning solutions than what is available to the public.

• Employ expert techniques: They are skilled in identifying the stain and fiber type and applying the correct treatment to avoid damage.

• Assess the situation: We give you a realistic assessment of your chances of complete removal before they begin and will try their best to improve the stain's appearance without worsening the issue.

• Remove odors: Professional cleaning also addresses odour-causing bacteria and residues that are left behind by stains

  Our cleaning technicians can refuse to do the job if the carpets/upholstery are too far gone or if the customer is aggressive or speaking out of tone.

 They are there to do their jobs, not to get verbally abused
