Empire Carpet Cleaning - Understanding Staining Versus Soiling


It should be noted that people often get confused about the difference between soiling and staining. The majority of stain complaints are actually soil-related. For example, many sugar-based spills, such as soft drinks, leave a residue after removal. This sticky residue attracts soil from ordinary shoe traffic and the resulting discolored area appears to be stained.

The same thing happens when spills are cleaned with a detergent solution and the area is not sufficiently rinsed with plain water. These spills can leave a sticky detergent residue. It is important to rinse the areas thoroughly with water and blot dry after removing any spill. It is important to avoid over-wetting any affected area.
