Removing Blood Stains from Carpet: The Challenging Journey to Pristine Carpets

Accidents happen, and one common mishap that can leave us flustered is the occurrence of blood stains on carpets. Removing blood stains from carpet can be a daunting task, especially if you're unfamiliar with the proper techniques and methods. While hiring a professional is undoubtedly the best course of action, let's explore the difficulties involved in removing blood from carpet.

The Challenge of Removing Blood:

Blood stains can be particularly stubborn and challenging to remove, mainly due to their coagulative properties and deep penetration into the carpet fibers. The porous nature of carpets absorbs the blood and leaves behind a stain that can become permanent if not handled properly. Dealing with dried or set-in blood stains further escalates the difficulty level, making it more challenging for DIY efforts to succeed.

The Risk of Irreversible Damage:

In the quest to remove blood stains, there is a significant risk of causing permanent damage to your carpet if the proper techniques aren't employed. Harsh chemicals and aggressive scrubbing can weaken the carpet fibers, leading to discoloration, fraying, or even tearing. Without the knowledge and expertise to navigate through these challenges, you might inadvertently exacerbate the situation and end up needing to replace your carpet entirely.

The Need for Specialized Knowledge and Tools:

Even after investing a significant amount of time and effort, there is no guarantee of a satisfactory outcome.

How I got my start in the cleaning industry

This is a subject well over due for an article on this post. It all started many many years ago as. As a little boy I can remember being excited and fascinated in three things: rocks, vacuuming, and computers. So it would be no big surprise that I went to school for geology. After a while I found myself changing my major to computer cyber security. As time passed I realized that, while I did have a passion for rocks and computers, I was bored easily with both. At the same time I was also attempting to run a computer company and giving a hand to my father-in-laws friend, who happened to be a carpet cleaner. I realized my full passion for cleaning working for that friend of the family. It was a comfortable environment for me that allowed my mind to be fully engaged in the task at hand with the ability to freely thing about any subject I desired.

Though the part-time job with the friend didn’t last very long, I couldn’t stop thinking about how fulfilled I was with that line of work. As friends and family would ask me what I was doing for work, I started to tell them that I cleaned carpet. Eventually, I started to get inquiries to come and clean homes of those friends. I used the money I made from my first few jobs to buy the cheapest portable extractor I could afford and I set off on a path to clean. It was almost 2 months before I received my second inquiry to clean, my dream of being a cleaner almost lost, and a new job on the horizon I gave it one more shot. That same week I received a third job, making my total earnings for the three jobs more than I was making at my $12 an hour desk job— I was hooked.

With all the money I had earned, I called a local advertising agency and placed the larges add my money could buy. I remember my father chastising me immediately after giving my card information over the phone. “You’ll never make back that money” was the chastisement. I didn’t think I would either, but I had to try. I had just had a baby and my wife was working full time raising our daughter, finishing her CNA certification, and assisting my grandfather who had recently become unable to care for himself. I was soon blessed with more business than I or my father expected. I then made the sacrifice to sell my grandfathers old Mercedes he had left me and my other grandfathers truck that I had bought from him long before his passing.With the money I bought an ugly, rickety old van and a truck mounted carpet cleaning machine. I was ready! Going to work was a joy and I loved seeing the look on my clients faces every time I cleaned their carpet. Soon my aunt asked me if I wanted to take over some janitorial contracts from some of the sites where their janitor was retiring. I was now in business with a monthly income from the janitorial cleaning and daily jobs cleaning carpet and all the equipment I needed to do the job.

Mistakes were made, there were bumps along the path, and almost a decade has passed now. I have a thriving carpet cleaning and janitorial business that I am proud of with employees who I enjoy working with. I thank the Lord every day for the blessings he has given me and the opportunities to serve my customers and make smiles happen.

The Steps to a Truly Deep Carpet Cleaning

One of our most popular services is carpet cleaning and we are well known for our deep cleaning option for heavily soiled carpets with high traffic areas that require deep scrubbing. When it comes to deep cleaning carpets, there is no better machine to do that then a good CRB duel brush machine. Now, the first step of any good deep cleaning process is inspection. Inspecting the carpet is essential and the first time that the cleaner will be able to assess the job requirements. After inspection, it is best to treat the stains and pre-spray the areas that are to be cleaned with a good pre-spray. We use an all natural and very powerful probiotic solution. In many cases, a good degreaser must be used in high traffic areas and areas were food has been spilled. We won't go into detail on all of the products and methods that we use for special situations though, it should be noted, that a good carpet cleaner has an extensive knowledge of the chemistry of stains and stain removal that can be acquired from the IICRC, CCA, and other organizations that teach and certify technicians. The next step in the process is using the deep scrubbing machine. It should be noted that the only machines that are currently approved by all major carpet manufacturers for the scrubbing of carpet are the CRB method machines. The CRB helps to release and bring to the surface all of the deep dirt and hair that has been locked into the fibers of the carpet. This dirt is trapped and cannot be removed by simply vacuuming. Using the CRB will restore the carpets fibers to the state that they were from the manufacturer bringing them back up right un-matting fibers. Next, it is time to steam the carpet. A good truck mounted unit or heated portable unit will produce approximately 240 degrees of heat. It is physically impossible to achieve a higher temperature without damaging the equipment and the carpet. So if a carpet cleaner tells you that he is using more heat, you may want to refer him to the neighbor you don't like. Next, is the dry pass. As with steam cleaning, a lot of water is produced to flush the carpet, remove soap and dirt. The dry pass will help the carpet to dry quicker, wick less, and if it drys quick there will be no possibility for mold or mildew so it will stay fresh. Last is post inspection. We like to walk every room to make sure nothing was missed and test the dryness of the carpet.
