Particularly when you just had them cleaned, there are few things more frustrating than seeing carpet stains appear or getting a whiff of a familiar carpet odor. Sometimes even after a deep cleaning, a carpet odor can still be there. There is a common misconception that many people think their carpets cannot be saved and they will have to look into expensive replacement options. Today, we at Carpet Care 2000 would like to discuss what causes recurring carpet stains and odors, as well as what can be done to get rid of them for good.
What Happens if Soap Residue Stays in Carpet?
Due to sticky residue left behind in the carpet cleaning process, carpet stains that appears to return again and again could actually be new stains accumulating on the area. The do-it-yourself carpet cleaning solutions, store bought cleaners, or even some commercial carpet cleaning formulas contain excess amounts of soap that can leave some residues behind. Being a magnet for stains, this combined with the fact that carpets often are not rinsed effectively afterwards mean trouble for the carpets.
How Do You Remove Soap Residue from Carpet?
Take advantage of professional carpet cleaning services that have positive reviews and do a good job completely removing the cleaning solution and moisture. This will remove the existing stain from your carpet. Steam carpet cleaning provided by Carpet Care 2000 will remove any of those residual stains and prevent others from forming in this manner.
Carpet Wicking Caused by Excess Moisture
Stains can seep into the carpet backing and padding beneath and they do not always stay visible on the surface. Because some carpet cleaning methods use too much moisture then do not effectively extract it, a combination of moisture used in the carpet cleaning process and residual stains can also be trapped deep in your floors. The stains begin to reappear again and again as the stain begins to dry, it can “wick” or travel up the carpet fibers.

In most instances, pet urine generally penetrates deep into carpet fibers, through the backing, and padding, as well as the subfloor. Potent, bacteria-filled odor crystals remain after the moisture dries.
