Expert Spot Removal for Tough, Set-In Carpet Stains

Some stains need more than standard carpet cleaning. At Excellence Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning, we specialize in tackling stubborn, deep-set stains using professional techniques and specialty products that go beyond regular hot water extraction.

Whether it’s a red sports drink, ink, rust, or grease, we’re equipped with the training and tools to treat it the right way.


What Types of Stains Qualify for Specialty Treatment?

These are some of the most common problem spots we’re called out to treat:

  • 🍷 Red Dye Stains (sports drinks, Kool-Aid, wine)
  • 🖊️ Ink & Permanent Marker
  • Coffee & Tea
  • 🧃 Beverage Spills
  • ⚙️ Grease & Oil
  • 🔩 Rust
  • 🕯️ Candle Wax or Gum
  • 🍫 Food Coloring or Chocolate
  • 🐾 Pet Waste Stains That Have Set In

Advanced Stain Removal Techniques

Our specialty stain treatments are done using:

  • Professional spotting agents formulated for specific stain types
  • Heat-transfer and oxidizing methods (for dye stains)
  • Safe solvent applications (for ink and oil-based spots)
  • Post-cleaning inspection and follow-up spot removal
  • Truck-mounted hot water extraction to remove product residues

We know which methods to use for your type of stain, your carpet fiber, and how long the stain has been there.


What You Should Know

🔹 Not all stains are permanent — but the sooner we treat them, the better the results.

🔹 Specialty stain treatment is usually offered as an add-on to our regular carpet cleaning service.

🔹 We’ll always give you a realistic expectation before starting. If a stain has chemically altered the carpet dye or fibers, complete removal may not be possible — but dramatic improvement usually is.


We Can Help Even If Others Couldn’t

Many of our customers call us after trying DIY stain removers or other companies that didn’t quite get the job done. If that’s you — don’t worry. We’re happy to assess the area and apply the correct specialty treatment.


Let’s Save Your Carpet

If you have a carpet stain that won’t budge — give us a call. The longer it stays untreated, the harder it becomes to remove.


Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my stain needs a specialty treatment?
If the stain didn’t come out with basic cleaning or has been on the carpet for a while, chances are it will need a targeted approach using professional spot removers.
Can all stains be removed completely?
We always strive for the best result, but some stains—especially those that have chemically altered the carpet dye—may not come out 100%. In those cases, we’ll let you know what kind of improvement is realistic.
Do I need to book a full carpet cleaning to get spot treatment?
Most specialty treatments are offered as an add-on to carpet cleaning, but if you just have one or two small problem areas, we may be able to help. Give us a call and we’ll advise what makes the most sense.
Is specialty stain treatment safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use professional-grade spotting agents that are safe when used properly and rinsed thoroughly after treatment.
