Minimum reduction of 95% in stain appearance
Yellow pigments (urochrome) in urine are not the only reason urine stains look yellow. Over time the bacteria feeding on the urine (uric acid) produce the distinctive ammonia smell through metabolism. The alkalinity of these metabolites can cause yellow staining in two other ways.
Firstly, is by mobilising dye pigments in Jute backed carpets that then wick to the fibre surface causing a dye stain. Alkaline cleaning products can also quickly cause this Jute dye transfer to the fibre surface. Again this yellow/browning is generally very easy to remove.
The second major cause of urine yellowing is bleaching of the original carpet dyes from excessive or long term alkalinity. The blue and red portions of carpet dyes are affected first, leaving the yellow dyes largely intact. Our guaranteed colour repair service is the perfect answer to these stains.
Besides urine, the other most common permanent stain contains acid based dyes. These are, in fact, the type of dye that is used to dye most carpets. If you want to confirm exactly whether your stain requires colour repair, just send us a photo!
Permanent stains are considered “damaged carpet” and as such normally require replacement to fix. Therefore we accept no responsibility for any further damage that may develop while attempting to save the damaged carpet.
One example is a pot plant stain that has weakened fibres from dry rot. Our Colour Repair charge will be refunded if we could not achieve our 95% visual improvement promise. We will not be responsible for any further cost or liability. You are required to accept these conditions prior to work commencing.
Our aim is perfection but we do not promise it. Full replacement is recommended if you require a promise of “brand new”.
Our promise for guaranteed removal is a 95% reduction in the appearance of the stain. This could mean a slight difference in colour or shade than the surrounding carpet. Before and after photos can be measured for colour reduction. If not perfect, it will be so subtle it will not show in a photo and will no longer “draw the eye”.
For multiple Colour Repairs in a room, our guarantee is 95% reduction in the overall staining rather than for each stain. This makes larger jobs more cost effective to save.
Unpleasant odours can make a space unwelcoming.

Again the breakdown of uric acid to ammonia and carbon dioxide is the principle source of odour in urine stains. It is accelerated on hot humid days as heat and moisture make an ideal environment for the bacteria to proliferate.
Vinegar is sometimes suggested as a cure to pet odour. This is simply not going to work once the vinegar dries. The acetic acid in vinegar can neutralise ammonia to its acetate salt but not uric acid. The uric acid will continue to be metabolised into ammonia in a continual process.
Dealing with urine successfully will require sufficient neutralising of both acidic and alkaline components. Our treatments also include an oxidation step as well as a bio-enzymatic process which both aid in the complete breakdown of the urine deposits.
Lastly it is important to understand that a pet stain can be much like the tip of an ice berg. It is very common for a pet to return to the same spot out of habit. Often the owner might not even realise it is happening repeatedly. So a small visual stain could be 5, 10 or even 20 times bigger in the underlay below the carpet. The urine can also soak into floorboards and concrete floors too.
We can offer a written conditional guarantee with urine odour removal and remember the sooner you act, the more cost effective it is to fix.

Many products will damage wool carpet and make the stains worse. The best way is gently scrap up stain with a spoon if there is substance. Next, wet a towel and wring it out so it is barely wet. Now stand on the stain with pressure to absorb it into the towel. Do not rub natural delicate fibres. Do not wet stain directly as this will push some down below the carpet. If you use chemicals, use only a tiny amount and stop immediately if it’s not working.
