CARPET CLEANING Q: Ihave 3 children, a dog, a cat, a bird and a husband. My carpets really take a beating. When I use a carpet spotter that I purchased at the grocery store, it removes the spots, but they seem to come right back. Sometimes bigger and darker. What's wrong? Kirk Saiger A. Not all carpet spot removers are created equally. When you use some carpet spot cleaners, you may succeed in removing the spot, but,you may be leaving harmful chemicals in your carpeting. Chemical residues can cause skin rashes or allergic reactions in your children or pets. Another problem with some spotters is they may actually "set" a stain, making it impossible to remove. The cause for the darker ring is the spotter has left a soil attracting residue behind and it is collecting dirt and soil that is floating around in the air or from what is being tracked in from the outdoor environment Our spotters are safe and non-toxic, specifically formulated to remove spots without setting them permanently, it leaves no dirt-attracting residue and is safer for your carpet.
