The Advanced Stain Removal course builds on the foundation of basic cleaning and spot treatment by teaching specialised methods for stains that do not respond to normal cleaning. Students are introduced to complex stains such as inks, dyes, tannins, and oxidation marks, and learn how to apply controlled chemical reactions, bleaching agents, and reducing agents to alter or remove stubborn discolorations. Emphasis is placed on careful testing, controlled application, and risk management to avoid permanent fibre or colour damage.

The course also covers the distinction between organic and inorganic stains, teaching how plant- or animal-based stains respond differently from metal oxides and other chemical residues. Learners explore oxidising bleaches like hydrogen peroxide, reducing bleaches such as sodium bisulphite, and specialist processes including the Heat Transfer method. These advanced techniques require precision and patience, as temperature, dwell time, agitation, and chemical choice all influence the outcome. Safety procedures and strict adherence to manufacturer guidelines are reinforced throughout, as many of these chemicals are highly reactive.

In addition, students are guided in building and maintaining a professional stain removal kit. This includes essential chemicals, solvents, acids, alkalis, application tools, protective equipment, and best practices for on-site use. By equipping themselves properly and applying systematic procedures, technicians can approach advanced stain removal jobs with confidence while demonstrating professionalism and preparedness to clients.

The Advanced Stain Removal course is intended for professional carpet cleaners who have already completed our Basic Carpet Cleaning and Basic Stain Removal courses. It is best suited to technicians seeking to expand their expertise into high-risk, high-skill work involving chemical stain alteration, as well as those who want to reduce callbacks, handle challenging customer demands, and position themselves as advanced specialists in the cleaning industry.
