• Coffee
• Tea
• Pet stains – urine, diarrhoea and vomit
• Red wine
• Ink and food colouring
• Bleach spots
• Pollen from flowers
• Oil, grease, tar, resin, paint, nail varnish

Stains that don’t respond to basic stain removal techniques will more specialist procedures involving strong alkalines, acids, solvents or oxidation and reduction agents. In some cases the treatment may remove colour as well as the stain and the area will require re-dying. For bleach spots, discolourations or chemically burned stains that have caused irreparable damage to the colours or fibres, we have other options from re-dyeing to re-piling or patching.
