A carpet stain is a real problem for most people. No one wants to have their home looking dirty and messy due to stains on the carpet. The carpet is a big part of the room and when there are stains it can make the room and home look messy. That is why most people will take time to clean the spills, spots and stains. This is best done by a carpet cleaning specialist that has the ability to care for the carpet and clean the stains. If you have ever decided to clean stains on your own you may have noticed that after the stain was cleaned it seems to come back. That is what is called reappearing stains. There are a few reasons that stain that you originally thought was gone can come back.

Leading Carpet Cleaning Lists The Ways a Stain Can Reappear On Your Carpets

Soiling Can Cause Reappearing Stains: When you go to clean a stain off your carpet you may just head to the store and pick up whatever cleaner you can find. The problem is that the cleaner is not always best for your carpet and you may not know the best way to use it. Soiling is when the spot that you have cleaned comes back up from dirt. The spot that you cleaned is usually left with residue from the cleaning material that you used. Even though you may have used a good cleaner you still need to use it correctly. If you leave a small amount on the carpet it is called residue. The residue is what will cause the stain to reappear. The same liquid is not what comes back up the residue on that spot will collect dirt easily and it will stick to that same spot. That will make it seem like the spot has come back to haunt you.
Wicking Can Cause A Stain To Reappear: The other reason that a stain can reappear is from a process that is called wicking. When a liquid is spilled on a carpet it will not only stay on the surface of the carpet but will soak into the fibers, backing and the padding as well. Once the spill has had time to get that deep in the carpet it will become a problem when you try and clean it. The cleaning process that you are able to do at home is not going to be able to get deep enough to remove the stain. That is how wicking is able to occur. When the surface is cleaned, the under layer of the stain is still there. All that it takes to make the stain reappear is when moisture or wetness is introduced into the area. The stain will come back to the surface of the carpet. This can happen days and even weeks later so it is important to have the stain treated by a professional.
