The best tools and solutions for getting stains out of a carpet depend on the type of carpet. Heavier and more durable materials like wool can withstand steam cleaning, while more delicate materials like jute may get damaged.

In many cases, the best way to remove a stubborn stain and avoid damage in the process is to call in a professional floor cleaner for assistance.
