Vomit Removal from carpets

What specific methods are used to assess the severity of the vomit contamination before providing a cost estimate?

Although chemistry is very important, we have to look a little deeper than just the visual aspect of someone being sick.

Fibre identification is critical. Synthetic and mixed yarns can be steam cleaned, and other fibres can not be wet cleaned at all, which does leave a disadvantage to the end result.

Next, what is the colour? Bleaching may have happened due to the acidic content of the sick.

But we don’t know if this will be removed during the cleaning process.

It may require additional work, such as repair or dye restoration.

Prior to using any chemicals, we will flush the area with cold water. This removes the remnants and gives us a better picture of the next stage.

Hopefully, we can proceed and have a great outcome for the customer. If repairs need to be actioned, we will advise the client.

Steam vapour kills any bacteria and odour present.

Will you also address any potential damage to the carpet or underlay caused by the vomit?

In the event the customer has attempted to sort this problem themselves, we may have to check the reverse side of the carpet and underlay. 

The use of shop products and the pressure used forces the matter deep. With liquid being part of the makeup, this may have been pushed in.

The survey will determine what work needs to be carried out.

How long does the entire cleaning process typically take from start to finish?

No job is the same. Some have taken 20 minutes to complete, others over an hour. It is all down to the multitude of factors discussed earlier. So no price can be given, but a guestimate can be provided.

Once all the work is complete  we will dry the  area for you.

If the unaffected carpet now looks dirty we can clean this for you at a reduced rate as we are already set up.
