 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I sent a request to Cleaning Doctor to have a carpet on stairs and landing cleaned, tiles on a hall and kitchen cleaned and also to get a good quality hall runner cleaned.

Derek contacted me quickly after my request and arranged a mutually suitable time to conduct the work.

The carpet in the stairs and landing and the hall runner look brand new, the results post cleaning are exceptional.

The tiles on the hall and kitchen floor are difficult to maintain, Derek used a machine on them which didn’t just bring the tiles back to their original appearance but also the grout is now immaculately clean.

Two members of Cleaning Doctor completed the work, they were very professional, hard working and friendly.

Derek placed great emphasis before and after the service on wanting to ensure we were satisfied with the job.

A professional, very reasonably priced and friendly service.

Tiles and carpet look brand new, I would highly recommend Cleaning Doctor and will definitely use them again in the future.

Benefits of Stain Protector

Professional protection shields your investment in Cork City North.

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.

1. Identification & Treatment

We inspect your carpets and upholstery to ensure they are clean and determine the best protection product for your specific fabric type and usage requirements.

Surface Assessment: Determines compatibility

Product Selection: Best protection formula

Coverage Planning: Even application strategy

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.
