Wow, Tom worked miracles. He made our sofa looks brand new after a homemade squishy toy had exploded on it. Couldn’t recommend him enough. He’s also a lovely Guy. Thanks again Tom.

Brilliant🤩 so pleased I contacted Tom to remove multiple ink stains; he offered a free test patch. Tom was able to perform the clean right away following the test. I'm amazed by the results, really nice guy, super thorough, I couldn't have wished for a better result.

Huge thank you to Tom for the fantastic job cleaning my carpets! He was extremely professional from start to finish, and the results were amazing, my carpets look as good as new. I was especially impressed with how quickly they dried too; within the hour! Highly recommend his service if you’re looking for a reliable and high-quality carpet cleaning service.

Called Tom for a quotation for my mother's house, the carpets not having had proper attention for many years. He was able to come the same day and agreed a date for the work for a very fair price. The resulting job was quite astounding, Tom planned the clean around mum, everything looks fresh and clean, and you aren't left with wet carpets! I could not recommend Tom more highly.

Benefits of Stain Protector

Professional protection shields your investment in Brighton.

Red Wine & Coffee

Liquids bead up on the surface instead of soaking in, giving you crucial time to blot spills before they become permanent stains.

Extends Carpet Life

Protection against wear, UV damage, and soil build-up significantly extends the lifespan of your carpets and upholstery.

Makeup & Cosmetics

Daily maintenance becomes simpler as dirt and spills sit on the surface rather than penetrating deep into fibres.

Blood & Bodily Fluids

Our eco-friendly protection products are completely safe for children, pets, and people with allergies.

Ink & Paint

Save money long-term by reducing frequency of deep cleaning and preventing permanent damage that requires replacement.

Food & Grease

Many carpet warranties require stain protection application to remain valid. We ensure compliance with manufacturer requirements.

Repels Liquids

Water-based and oil-based liquids are repelled equally well, protecting against everything from coffee to cooking oil.

Maintains Appearance

Keeps your carpets and upholstery looking fresh and new for longer, maintaining your home.*s pristine appearance.

Our Process

Professional Protection Application

We apply industry-leading protection products that create an invisible barrier on your carpets and upholstery.

Stain Identification

1. Identification & Treatment

Coverage Planning: Even application strategy
Stain Protector Application

2. Application & Absorption

We spray the stain protector evenly across your carpet or upholstery and then work it deep into the fibres, using a broom for carpets or a terry towel for upholstery, ensuring complete coverage and maximum absorption.

Even Spray: Complete, consistent coverage
Worked Into Fibres: Massaged in for maximum protection

Warning

DIY products leave uneven coverage.

Professional Quality

Superior to retail products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about stain protector application.

What is stain protector and how does it work?
Stain protector is a specialised treatment that creates an invisible barrier around carpet and upholstery fibres. This barrier repels liquids and prevents them from immediately soaking into the fabric, giving you crucial time to blot up spills before they become permanent stains. The protector also makes regular vacuuming more effective by preventing dirt from bonding to fibres.
How long does stain protector last?
Professional stain protector typically lasts between 12-18 months under normal household conditions. However, longevity depends on foot traffic, cleaning frequency, and the type of protector used. High-traffic areas may need reapplication more frequently. We recommend reapplying stain protector after every professional deep clean for optimal protection.
Is stain protector safe for children and pets?
Absolutely! We use only eco-friendly, non-toxic stain protection products that are completely safe for children, pets, and people with allergies. Our products are water-based and contain no harmful chemicals. Once dry (typically within 2-4 hours), the treated surface is safe for normal use.
Can stain protector be applied to all types of carpets?
Yes, our stain protector can be safely applied to most carpet types and upholstery fabrics, including wool, nylon, polyester, and cotton blends. However, we always conduct a test patch first to ensure compatibility with delicate or specialty fabrics. Some materials like silk or certain antique fabrics may require specialised treatments.
Does new carpet already have stain protection?
Many new carpets do come with factory-applied stain protection, but this protection begins to wear off immediately with use and cleaning. Most carpet manufacturers recommend reapplying stain protector within 6-12 months of installation, and definitely after the first professional cleaning. Additionally, factory protection may not cover all areas evenly, especially along seams and edges.
What's the difference between professional and DIY stain protector?
Professional stain protector provides superior coverage and longevity compared to retail products. Our commercial-grade formulas penetrate deeper into fibres and create a more durable barrier. We also use specialised application equipment that ensures even distribution without over-wetting. DIY products often leave uneven coverage, can cause sticky residue, and may void carpet warranties if not applied correctly.
When should I reapply stain protector?
We recommend reapplying stain protector in these situations: after every professional deep cleaning (as the cleaning process removes the existing protector), when you notice spills absorbing more quickly than before, in high-traffic areas after 12 months, or if you have an important event coming up and want maximum protection. Regular reapplication maintains optimal stain resistance and extends your carpet's lifespan.
