Our Basic Stain Removal course provides students with the essential knowledge and skills needed to identify, categorise, and safely remove common stains from carpets and upholstery. It begins by highlighting the importance of stain removal in customer satisfaction, since stains are often more noticeable than general soiling. Learners are taught how to recognise stains through their colour, shape, smell, and feel, and then group them into categories such as solvent-soluble, detergent-soluble, enzyme-digestible, non-soluble, and dyes.

The course covers the safe use of specialty spotters, solvents, and detergents, while emphasising correct testing procedures, fibre protection, and customer communication. By the end, students gain a clear step-by-step framework for tackling everyday stains, as well as an understanding of when advanced stain removal methods or colour repair may be necessary.

The Basic Stain Removal course is suitable for entry-level and developing carpet cleaning technicians who already understand fibre identification and the basics of hot water extraction. It is designed for cleaners who want to expand beyond general carpet cleaning into targeted stain treatment, giving them the ability to handle everyday spills such as food, drinks, oils, and cosmetics with confidence. The course is also appropriate for established cleaning professionals seeking to reduce customer callbacks, improve stain-removal success rates, and strengthen client trust. Finally, it serves as a preparatory step for those planning to progress into advanced stain removal and colour repair training.
