Recent food or drink spills
Share the cause and timing as accurately as possible. Avoid repeatedly trying different products before advice: the treatment history affects assessment, particularly on delicate fabrics.
STAIN TREATMENT · OXFORDSHIRE
Carpet & upholstery stain treatment.
Individual assessment and treatment of carpet and upholstery stains across Oxfordshire. Tell Appolo what happened, when it happened and what has already been applied, so suitability and realistic expectations can be discussed.
The stain history matters
A stain is not just a colour on the surface. The spilled substance, fibre, dye and time since the incident all matter. Take a wider photograph showing the item and a close-up of the affected area. Include the material or care label if known, and the names of any products already used. An unknown spill should be described as unknown rather than guessed.
Treatment aims to improve a mark where suitable, but some spills permanently change dyes or damage fibres. Bleach-related colour loss, wear and physical damage are different from removable soiling. Appolo does not promise that every stain will disappear; discussing the likely result is part of the service.
Plan the work you need
Older or treated marks
Explain what has already been tried and whether the mark has changed. A photo alone may not reveal permanent damage or residues from earlier treatment.
Pet-related staining or odours
Describe the source, affected material and how far the issue may have penetrated. A surface mark and contamination deeper in backing or filling may need different expectations.
Before and after your appointment
Before the visit
Keep the area accessible and provide the care label or fibre information. Do not conceal an earlier cleaning attempt; accurate details help assessment. If the whole room also needs cleaning, include that separately in the enquiry.
After the clean
Follow the advice given for the actual material and treatment. Drying requirements may differ between a carpet and an upholstered item. If a permanent mark remains, further product application is not automatically useful and should be discussed first.

Do you guarantee stain removal?
No. The material, substance, age and previous treatment affect the result, and some damage is permanent. Appolo discusses expectations before treatment.
Can I send a photo before booking?
Yes. Send a wider image, a close-up, the material information and the history of the stain. Photos help the initial discussion, although further assessment may be needed.
Does stain treatment mean the whole carpet will be cleaned?
The scope must be agreed. Say whether you want a local mark assessed, general carpet cleaning or both so the quote covers the work you intend.
