What I usually see
The stains I’m called out for most.
Red wine
Spreads fast and stains deep, the sooner it’s treated properly, the better the odds.
Coffee & tea
Tannin stains that turn brown and come back if they’re only cleaned on the surface.
Pet accidents
Urine and vomit that leave both a mark and a smell in the backing.
Grease & make-up
Oily marks that ordinary sprays smear around instead of lifting.
Stains are chemistry
Every stain needs its own treatment.
A coffee stain, a wine stain and a grease mark are three different problems. Using the wrong product, or scrubbing hard, can spread a stain, damage the fibre or set it permanently.
I carry a wide range of professional spotting agents, work out what the stain is and what it’s on, and choose the treatment to match. If a stain is permanent, I’ll tell you before I start.
You deal with me from the first message to the final check. With around 15 years of experience across London, I treat every stain myself.

Hi Chloe, red wine on a wool carpet, two days old. It should improve a lot; I can come Friday morning?

On the day
Identify, test, then treat
I check the fibre and the stain, test on a hidden area, then treat it step by step.
Before I leave
We look at it together
You see the result with me. If anything can be improved further, it gets another go there and then.
The full stain process (8 steps)
- Identify the stain. What it is, how old it is and whether it’s been treated before.
- Identify the fibre. Wool, synthetic or fabric, it limits which products are safe.
- Test on a hidden area. So the treatment doesn’t affect the colour.
- Remove the residue. Excess material lifted before any liquid goes on.
- Targeted treatment. A spotting agent matched to the stain, given time to work.
- Gentle agitation. Worked in carefully, never scrubbed.
- Rinse & extract. The product rinsed out so the mark doesn’t come back.
- Honest check. We look at the result together and I explain aftercare.
What clients say
Stains gone, happy clients.
David always does a fantastic job, arriving promptly, working very thoroughly and efficiently. He’s also just a really lovely guy – would highly recommend his services.
Don’t hesitate. David did a fantastic job. I am super impressed by the results.
David did my stair runners and rugs. He did an amazing job and it is like having new carpets again! Cannot recommend him more highly if you (like me) haven’t had your carpets done for a decade. Thank you Dawid.
Dawid worked really hard and did a very thorough clean of my sofa stairs and landing
Tremendous service! Carpet left absolutely spotless and David is a lovely guy to deal with. Will use again and would highly recommend!!

FAQ
Stain removal questions.
Can’t find the answer? Just send me a message.
Can every stain be removed?
No, and I won’t pretend otherwise. Some dyes, bleach marks and old stains are permanent. I’ll tell you what I expect before I start.
What should I do straight after a spill?
Blot. Don’t rub, with a clean white cloth and plain water. Avoid supermarket sprays, which can set the stain or bleach the fibre.
Does an old stain still have a chance?
Often, yes. Older stains are harder, but many still improve a lot with the right treatment.
Will the stain come back?
Stains often return when residue is left behind. I rinse the product out properly to stop that from happening.
Do you remove stains from sofas too?
Yes, carpets, rugs, upholstery and mattresses.
How much does stain removal cost?
It starts from the £80 minimum booking, or it can be added to a wider clean. A photo is enough for a quote.
