No, but it does help if any breakable items are removed from the room, including those inside cabinets that will have to be moved. It would also help the technician if small items of furniture are also removed, such as waste paper bins, paper racks etc. The technician will then move the items, clean and put them back in position placing protector pads beneath the item to prevent staining from loose wood dye or rust from metal studs under the legs transferring onto the carpet.

ServiceMaster CleanŽ will inspect the carpet prior to any cleaning taking place. During this inspection any risk of potential shrinkage can be identified and discussed with you. Some carpets are more prone to shrinkage and may have to be cleaned by an alternative method but this would be thoroughly discussed with you before any work proceeds. It may be that the fitting of the carpet has become loose and some re-fitting maybe required prior to cleaning.

Blot the area using a towel or kitchen towel; never rub as this can spread the wine. Once the excess liquid has been removed place a moist towel over the area and call your local ServiceMaster CleanŽ carpet cleaning centre as soon as possible for professional removal of the red wine.

This was true many years ago when cleaning by shampoo was the normal way owners attempted to clean their carpets/suites themselves. This would leave residue behind in the carpet/suite and attract re-soiling meaning the carpet/suite would have to be cleaned more often. The cleaning systems and solutions that ServiceMaster use ensure that no residue is left behind to attract re-soiling.

These marks are where the carpet is acting as a filter of incoming air. Removal depends on the severity of the black marks. A ServiceMaster CleanŽ technician should be able to significantly improve the appearance; however the source of the problem needs to be dealt with to prevent the staining returning.
