This is called a recurring or reappearing stain, and it is different from other types of stains. This article explains how they happen and what, if anything, can be done about them.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes a spill on carpet will soak through into the backing of the carpet and perhaps into the carpet padding underneath, as well. Proper professional carpet cleaning thoroughly cleans the carpet\u2019s surface only, not the backing or padding. While the stain may have been removed from the carpet, as damp carpets dry, the carpet fibers can act like a wick, absorbing and transporting stains from the carpet backing and\/or padding to the surface of the carpet. This phenomenon is called \u201cwicking\u201d and is the cause of recurring stains.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes further cleaning achieves the desired results. Accelerating the drying process by setting up fans and cranking up the HVAC system can keep stains from wicking through to the surface. We may also try cleaning or treating the area with encapsulation products, which can retard or prevent the wicking process.<\/p>\n<p>Although you can certainly check your carpet warranty to find out whether recurring stains are covered, it has been our experience that wicking stains are not included with stain guarantees. Many of them say, \u201cNo carpet is absolutely stain-proof.\u201d The warranty specifically \u201cexcludes any residual stains or wicking that may occur,\u201d with food, beverage, and other types of stains.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to deal with recurring stains is to prevent them from happening in the first place.
