Specialized Spot Removal—Because Not All Stains Are Created Equal
How We Treat Stains Others Leave Behind
Our approach to specialty stain removal goes far beyond standard carpet cleaning. Whether we’re working on wool, nylon, or synthetic blends, we assess every stain individually and apply custom solutions based on fiber type, stain composition, and age. Here’s what sets our stain removal process apart:
- In-depth inspection: We evaluate the type of carpet or rug, the nature of the stain (protein, tannin, oil-based, etc.), and the cleaning history of the area.
- Custom-formulated stain removers: From enzyme treatments to oxidizers and tannin lifters, we select the safest and most effective solution for each unique spot.
- Gentle but powerful methods: We use specialty spotting tools and low-moisture extraction to lift the stain without oversaturating or damaging delicate fibers.
- Colorfastness testing: Before any treatment is applied to wool or natural fibers, we test to ensure color integrity is preserved.
- Repeat treatment if needed: For stubborn stains like turmeric, mustard, or pet urine, we return to affected areas to continue treatment as needed.
We take our time and follow industry-approved procedures to get real results—without damage or discoloration.

Specialty Stain Removal FAQs
Can you remove old stains that have already been treated by someone else?
Yes—many of our customers call us after other cleaners couldn’t remove a stain. In some cases, previous treatments can complicate the process, but we have advanced solutions to address most situations.
What types of stains can you remove?
We specialize in organic stains such as mustard, curry, turmeric, coffee, red wine, pet urine, and blood. We also treat synthetic dyes and discoloration where possible.
Do you guarantee stain removal?
We guarantee that we will use every professional method available. While many stains are removable, results vary based on the material and the age of the stain. If we can't remove it, nobody can.
Can you clean fine wool rugs with stains?
Yes! Wool rugs are one of our specialties. We apply gentle, fiber-safe treatments and use controlled drying methods to preserve the rug’s integrity.
How long does the process take?
In most cases, stain removal is performed during the same appointment as carpet or rug cleaning. For especially tough spots, follow-up treatment may be scheduled.
Is the stain removal safe for pets and children?
Absolutely. All of our cleaning agents are non-toxic, residue-free, and safe for use in family homes.

Courtney Severe
I would give Curtis Fiber Cleaning 10 stars if I could! For the last 10 years John has been coming to our house to clean the carpets which are wool, wall to wall, cotton and polypropylene. He is polite and timely. I am always amazed that he is able to get even the most stubborn stains out. I wish all the contractors who worked at our house were as thorough, friendly and hard working as the crew from Curtis Fiber Cleaning. They also clean our furniture too!

Curtis Fiber Cleaning is an excellent company. I have been using them for years. They do an incredible job cleaning our carpets. We have three dogs and get many stains and they always do a great job removing them. Everyone who works there is extremely nice and very honest. It’s nice working with a company that is local and not a large national company.
