 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Martin was fantastic. He explained everything to be done on our phone call and outlined the price. When he came he was quick, effecient and so tidy and I'm amazed at the results my suite of furniture looks brand new and I didn't even know there was such gorgeous colours in the carpet. He took time to explain how to let everything dry properly. I have already recommended him and he's only gone a few hours.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had our Carpet cleaned by Martin yesterday, stairs & landing carpet. When I rang Martin to ask for a quote, he spent time asking about the carpet, and were there any stains, what type of carpet we had and he explained what he would use to try to remove the stains. We had stains & a smell on the landing carpet, from our dog who had wet there many times. I had cleaned it many times with several cleaning products, but a stubborn stain & smell remained.
Martin was successful in cleaning our carpet yesterday. The stain & smell are gone. He was very pleasant to deal with & I felt he was very reasonable. I would recommend him if you need your carpet cleaned.
Thank you Martin

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Could not recommend highly enough! Our carpets and furniture had never been professionally cleaned before and I genuinely thought some of the marks would never come out. I was shocked by the results – everything looks fresh, clean and almost like new again.

The difference in both the carpets and couches/chairs is unbelievable. Friendly, professional service and excellent attention to detail. Money very well spent and we’ll definitely be using them again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got a quote for a new carpet for my teenage son's bedroom for almost €800 and decided to try clean it professionally first. Martin got back to me very quickly with a very reasonable quote (€60) and came that same week. Cannot believe the results! There were stains that I didn't think would come out but they are all gone. It's like a new carpet for a fraction of the price! Extremely impressed. Thank you Martin

Benefits of Stain Protector

Professional protection shields your investment in Waterford.

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.

How much does stain protector application cost?

The cost varies depending on the size of the area, type of surface being treated, and whether it's combined with cleaning services. Generally, when applied alongside our professional cleaning service, stain protector is very cost-effective. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote specific to your needs. We offer competitive pricing and often have special packages that include both cleaning and protection.

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.
