Here at St. Chateau Flooring, we receive many calls about stains and the need for carpets to be cleaned. What you might not know is the reason those stains keep reappearing or why they never seem to completely disappear. In the video below, we will thoroughly explain the concept of invisible stains and the underlying factors that contribute to their persistence. A majority of the time, the hidden stain is located in the pad below the carpet, which can prove troublesome. This pad, often overlooked, functions much like a sponge, efficiently trapping liquids and dirt that seep through the carpet fibers. As a result, even after professional cleaning, the stains may resurface; the trapped moisture and contaminants are slowly released back into the carpet. Understanding this issue is crucial, as it emphasizes the importance of not just surface cleaning but addressing the root causes of stubborn stains to ensure your carpets remain clean and fresh for a more extended period. To avoid this issue, think about upgrading to a pet ped or a pad that has a moisture barrier to it built in to the top layer of the pad. This will prevent it from trapping liquids.
