Carpet Stain Removed

A Bailtek Carpet Cleaning and Water Damage technician can help you understand your best option. A Bailtek technician can also let you know if the carpet spots is a permanent carpet stain.
By simple cleaning industry definitions, a spot on carpet is something that can be removed and a carpet stain is something that can’t be removed.
