How to Remove Pet Stains from Carpet Effectively – A Practical Guide for Ely & Cambridge Homes

, , ,

Pet stain removal from carpet in Ely and Cambridge can be challenging, especially when stains are left untreated. In homes across Ely and Cambridge, one of the most common issues we see is pet stains that leave behind not only visible marks but also lingering odours.

The good news is that many stains can be treated effectively — if you act quickly and use the right method.

Why Pet Stains Are So Difficult to Remove

Pet stains are different from everyday spills like coffee or mud. They are chemically complex and contain:

  • Proteins and enzymes that bond with fabric
  • Bacteria that cause persistent, unpleasant odours
  • Acids that can permanently damage or discolour carpet fibres

If not treated properly, these liquids soak deep into the carpet backing — and even into the underlay. This is why standard supermarket products often fail to solve the problem long-term, as they only clean the surface.

Carpet stains removed

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Before you start cleaning, avoid these frequent errors we see in local properties:

❌ Using hot water immediately – this can “set” the proteins and make the stain permanent
❌ Scrubbing aggressively – this destroys carpet fibres and spreads the stain wider
❌ Using strong household chemicals – many can bleach or strip the colour from your carpet
❌ Over-wetting – excess liquid pushes the contamination deeper into the floor layers

Unsightly pet accident stain on a bedroom carpet in an Ely home, requiring professional enzyme cleaning.
Accidents happen! This bedroom carpet in Ely required specialist enzyme treatment to fully remove deep-seated pet stains and lingering odours.

Step-by-Step: How to Remove Pet Stains from Carpet

1. Blot Immediately (Don’t Rub)

Use paper towels or a white, clean cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Apply firm pressure but do not scrub.

👉 The more you extract now, the better the final result.

2. Apply a Mild Cleaning Solution

Mix lukewarm water with a tiny drop of mild, clear detergent. Gently dab the area from the outside in to prevent the stain from spreading.

3. Use an Enzyme-Based Cleaner

For the best results, use a pet-specific enzyme cleaner.

👉 These products break down the proteins that cause odours instead of masking them.

4. Rinse and Dry Properly

Dab with a small amount of clean water to remove residue. Place a fresh towel over the spot and apply pressure to draw out moisture.

👉 Good airflow is essential to prevent smells from returning.

When DIY Isn’t Enough

If the stain has already dried, the odour keeps returning, or the mark is spreading, it likely means the contamination has reached deeper layers of the carpet.

At this stage, household products are no longer effective. Professional cleaning is usually required to fully sanitise the area and remove odours at the source.

Local Tip for Cambridgeshire Homes

Many properties in Ely and Cambridge feature wool or wool-blend carpets with thick underlay. These materials are highly absorbent and require careful, pH-balanced treatment.

👉 Using the wrong products can cause shrinkage, texture damage, or permanent colour changes.

Final Thoughts

Pet stains can be frustrating, but quick action and the right method can make a big difference.

While fresh stains can often be improved with DIY methods, deeper or recurring problems usually require professional treatment. The longer a stain sits, the more it reacts with carpet fibres.

If your DIY attempt hasn’t worked, it’s best to act early and avoid permanent damage.

FAQ – Pet Stain Removal & Carpet Cleaning

Can you remove all pet stains from carpet?


Not always. It depends on the type of carpet, how old the stain is, and whether any incorrect cleaning methods or products were used before. Some older stains can cause permanent discolouration, but in most cases we can significantly improve the appearance and remove odours.

How quickly should I clean a pet accident?


As soon as possible. Fresh stains are much easier to remove before they soak deep into the fibres and underlay.

Will the smell come back after cleaning?


If the stain is treated properly at the source, odours should not return. However, if contamination has reached deeper layers, professional deep cleaning may be required.

Are your cleaning products safe for pets and children?


Yes. We use professional, non-toxic cleaning solutions that are safe once the carpet is dry.

Do you use steam cleaning for pet stains?


We use hot water extraction (often called steam cleaning), but always adjust the method depending on the carpet type and condition.

How long does it take for carpets to dry after cleaning?


Typically between 3 and 10 hours, depending on airflow and conditions.

Do pet stains damage carpets permanently?


They can. Urine in particular can affect carpet fibres and backing over time. The sooner it’s treated properly, the better the results.

Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning in Ely – Top-Rated Local Guide

, , , , , , , ,

Keeping your home clean, fresh, and healthy starts with properly maintained carpets and upholstery. If you’re based in Ely, choosing the right carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning service can make a huge difference—not only in appearance but also in indoor air quality and the lifespan of your furnishings.

In this local guide, we’ll walk you through what to look for and why professional cleaning is a smart investment for your property.

Why Professional Cleaning Matters

Over time, carpets and soft furnishings collect more than just visible dirt. They become a magnet for:

    • Dust and allergens that trigger hay fever or asthma
    • Pet hair and stubborn odours that vacuuming alone can’t remove
    • Deep-seated stains from everyday life (coffee, mud, spills)

While regular vacuuming is essential, it doesn’t remove the grit embedded deep within the fibres. Our professional carpet cleaning service in Ely delivers deep extraction that removes bacteria and allergens effectively, leaving your home truly hygienic.

What Makes a Top Cleaning Service in Ely?

When choosing a local cleaning company, consider these three pillars of quality:

    • Experience & Expertise: Different materials (like wool rugs or velvet sofas) require specialist methods. A pro always assesses the fabric first.
    • Safe & Eco-Friendly Methods: We use pH-neutral solutions that are tough on stains but safe for children and pets.
    • Specialist Machinery: From high-pressure steam extractors to Truvox hard floor scrubbers, the right equipment ensures faster drying times and superior results.

More Than Just Carpets: Upholstery & Hard Floors

Your home is a mix of surfaces, and each deserves professional care.

1. Upholstery Cleaning – Sofas & Chairs

Your sofa is likely one of the most used items in your home. Our upholstery cleaning service in Ely covers everything from corner units and armchairs to fabric headboards and dining chairs. Professional cleaning refreshes fabric appearance and improves overall home hygiene.

👉 Learn more about Ely upholstery cleaning: Upholstery cleaning in Ely⁠

2. Hard Floor Restoration

Don’t forget your stone, tile, LVT, or Amtico floors. Our professional hard floor cleaning in Ely restores original shine and removes deep-seated grime from grout lines that regular mopping leaves behind.

👉 See our Ely hard floor cleaning service: Hard floor cleaning in Ely⁠

Common Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid

Many homeowners try DIY solutions that can cause permanent damage:

❌ Over-wetting: Can lead to mould, shrinking, or “browning” of fibres
❌ Aggressive scrubbing: Often destroys the carpet pile or fabric texture
❌ Wrong chemicals: Bleach-based products can leave permanent discolouration

Professional cleaning ensures the correct method is used for each specific material, protecting your investment.

How Often Should You Schedule a Deep Clean?

For most homes in Ely and surrounding areas (Littleport, Soham, Burwell):

    • Carpets: Every 6–12 months
    • Upholstery: Every 12–18 months
    • Hard Floors: Once a year to maintain the protective seal

Carpet Cleaning Transformation – Saving an Ely Living Room from Replacement

, ,

When it comes to keeping your home fresh and inviting, carpets often take the brunt of daily wear and tear. Recently, we were called to a home in Ely where the homeowner was considering replacing their living room carpet entirely. It looked “tired” and beyond saving—but we love a challenge.

Here’s the story of how we transformed this space from stained and dull to refreshed and vibrant, while being realistic about what professional cleaning can achieve.

The Challenge: More Than Just Surface Dirt

Our client had a few common concerns found in busy Cambridgeshire households:

Flattened Traffic Lanes

The carpet near the sofa and doorway had lost its bounce and looked grey.

Stubborn Coffee & Food Stains

Deep-set marks from family movie nights often resist household sprays. Professional treatment can significantly improve or reduce them, depending on the stain type and age.

Embedded Pet Hair

Fine hairs trapped deep in the base of the fibres that regular vacuuming couldn’t reach.

Stale Odours

A lingering scent made the whole room feel less than fresh.

The carpet hadn’t seen a professional machine in years, making it a perfect candidate for deep extraction carpet cleaning.

Our Expert Approach

Initial Fibre Assessment

We inspected the material first to ensure we used the safest pH-neutral solutions, targeting high-traffic areas where the pile had been compressed.

Specialist Pre-Treatment

We applied an eco-friendly pre-spray to help break down the organic bond of stains and body oils. This step is often skipped in DIY methods.

Deep Hot Water Extraction

Using professional-grade equipment, we flushed the fibres with heated water to lift hidden dirt, allergens, and pet dander. The results showed how much a carpet can hide!

Pile Grooming & Finishing

Finally, we groomed the carpet fibres to restore their natural plush feel and speed up drying.

The Results: A Living Room Refreshed

The transformation was significant, and the client decided a new carpet wasn’t necessary—saving money and reducing waste.

  • Restored Texture: Fibres felt softer and fluffier underfoot.
  • Improved Appearance: Stains were reduced or lifted as much as possible.
  • Enhanced Air Quality: Removal of embedded pet hair and dust made the room easier to breathe in.

    Customer said:

    “I honestly thought we’d have to buy a new carpet this year. I couldn’t believe the difference! The living room feels refreshed and so clean. Highly recommend Ely Cleaning Services!” – Satisfied Client in Ely

Why Professional Cleaning Matters

While a quick scrub might hide a stain temporarily, it often pushes dirt deeper. Our professional methods help:

  • Extend Carpet Life: Removing grit reduces fibre wear over time.
  • Deep Sanitisation: Reduces bacteria and allergens that cause odours.
  • Safe & Eco-Friendly: Your home is ready for children and pets soon after drying.

Extend the Life of Your Carpets, Upholstery, and Hard Floors

After transforming this Ely living room carpet from stained and dull to vibrant and fresh, many homeowners ask how they can maintain their home in between professional visits. If your carpets need attention, our carpet cleaning services can lift dirt, pet hair, and deep-set stains safely. Don’t forget about your furniture—our upholstery cleaning solutions refresh sofas and chairs, leaving them hygienic and looking like new.

Hard floors also deserve care; our hard floor cleaning removes scuffs, grease, and grime to keep your kitchen or hallway shining. Want to know what a professional carpet clean might cost? Check out our detailed guide on how much carpet cleaning costs, inspired by our recent Ely living room transformation story.

Frequently Asked Questions About Carpet Cleaning

Can you guarantee all stains will be removed?

We cannot guarantee 100% stain removal, as results depend on carpet type, age, and how long the stain has been there. Some old or heavily treated stains may only be reduced, but professional cleaning usually improves the overall appearance significantly.

How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?

For most homes, once or twice a year is ideal. High-traffic areas, homes with pets, or allergy-prone families may benefit from more frequent cleaning. Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your carpet and keeps it healthier.

Is professional carpet cleaning safe for children and pets?

Yes. We use eco-friendly, pH-neutral solutions that are safe once the carpet has dried. Our methods are designed to minimise chemical residues while providing a deep clean.

How long does it take for a carpet to dry?

Drying times vary depending on carpet type and room ventilation. Typically, 3–10 hours is enough for a carpet to dry completely after deep hot water extraction. Using fans or opening windows can speed up the process.

Can professional cleaning remove pet odours completely?

Professional cleaning can significantly reduce or neutralise pet odours, especially when combined with deep extraction and pre-treatment. However, long-standing odours may not disappear entirely if the carpet has absorbed urine over time.

Do you use eco-friendly cleaning products?

Yes. All our solutions are safe, non-toxic, and eco-friendly, ensuring minimal environmental impact while still achieving a thorough clean.

Will professional cleaning damage my carpet?

When done by trained technicians using properly maintained equipment, professional carpet cleaning does not damage fibres. We assess each carpet type beforehand to select the safest method.

How much does carpet cleaning cost in Ely?

Pricing depends on carpet size, condition, and additional treatments required. Typical Ely home rates start from £55, and we provide an accurate quote after assessment.

Blood, Vomit and Pet Accident Cleaning in Ely – When Carpets and Sofas Need Professional Help

, , , , , ,

Accidents at home happen more often than we expect. A small injury, a sick child, or a pet having an upset stomach can quickly leave carpets, rugs, or sofas stained with blood, vomit, or other unpleasant mess.

Many people try to deal with these situations using household cleaners or a quick scrub. While this might remove the visible stain, it often pushes the contamination deeper into the fibres, leaving behind bacteria, odours, or marks that return after drying.

At Ely Cleaning Services Ltd, we help homeowners across Ely, Soham, Littleport and surrounding villages safely remove difficult stains from carpets, upholstery, and car seats using professional deep cleaning equipment.

Common Household Accidents We Help With

Over time we’ve helped many local customers deal with unexpected messes that are difficult to clean without professional equipment.

Some of the most common situations include:

  • Blood stains on carpets or sofas after small household injuries
  • Vomiting on carpets or upholstery during illness
  • Pet accidents, including urine or diarrhoea on carpets
  • Food or drink spills mixed with bodily fluids
  • Car seats stained after someone becomes unwell during travel

These types of stains can soak quickly into fabrics and padding, which makes them difficult to remove with basic cleaning methods.

Why These Stains Are Difficult to Remove

Blood, vomit, and pet accidents contain organic proteins and bacteria that bond strongly with fabric fibres.

If they are not treated correctly, several problems can occur:

  • stains reappearing after drying
  • lingering unpleasant odours
  • bacteria trapped deep in the fibres
  • damage to the carpet or upholstery from harsh chemicals

Professional cleaning focuses on breaking down the organic matter and extracting it fully, rather than just masking the stain.

Our Professional Cleaning Process

When dealing with difficult household accidents, we follow a careful step-by-step approach to restore the affected area.

Inspection

We first check the carpet or upholstery material to determine the safest and most effective cleaning method.

Targeted Pre-Treatment

Specialist cleaning solutions are applied to break down proteins found in blood, vomit, and other organic stains.

Deep Extraction Cleaning

Using professional hot water extraction equipment, we flush and extract contamination from deep within the fibres.

Deodorising and Sanitising

The final stage removes bacteria and neutralises odours, leaving carpets and upholstery fresh and hygienic.

This method is far more effective than surface cleaning and helps restore fabrics without damaging them.


Important: If you try to clean blood yourself, never use hot water as it can ‘cook’ the proteins and permanently set the stain into the fibres. Always use cold water and blot gently while waiting for a professional.

Carpets, Sofas and Car Seats Can All Be Affected

Accidents don’t only happen on carpets. Soft furnishings absorb liquids quickly, which means stains can spread deeper than they appear on the surface.

We regularly clean:

  • carpets and rugs
  • fabric sofas and armchairs
  • mattresses
  • car seats and vehicle upholstery

For furniture stains, our sofa and upholstery cleaning service can safely remove contamination from fabric.

Pet Accidents on Carpets

Pet owners know that accidents sometimes happen, especially with puppies, older dogs, or pets with stomach issues.

When pets have accidents on carpets or rugs, the mess often soaks deep into the fibres and underlay. If not treated properly, this can lead to persistent smells that return after cleaning.

Professional extraction cleaning removes the contamination from deeper layers and helps prevent odours from coming back.

When to Call a Professional Cleaner

Professional cleaning is recommended when:

  • blood or vomit has soaked into a carpet or sofa
  • the stain has been sitting for several hours
  • unpleasant odours remain after cleaning
  • a pet accident has penetrated deep into the carpet
  • household products have not worked

Trying to scrub the stain repeatedly can often make the problem worse by spreading it further.

We’re always happy to give honest advice and help you find the best solution.

How to Remove Blood Stains from Carpet

Blood stains can be difficult to remove because they contain proteins that bond strongly with carpet fibres. Cold water and gentle blotting may help with fresh stains, but once the stain dries it often requires professional treatment to break down the proteins and fully extract them from the carpet.

Professional hot water extraction can remove much deeper contamination than household cleaning.

How to Clean Vomit from a Carpet or Sofa

Vomit stains often contain stomach acids and food particles that quickly soak into soft materials. Even if the visible stain is removed, unpleasant odours may remain trapped in the fibres.

Professional carpet and upholstery cleaning helps flush out the contamination and neutralise the smell.

What to Do After a Pet Accident on Carpet

When pets have accidents on carpets, the liquid can spread beneath the surface into the backing or underlay. If not cleaned properly, bacteria and odours can remain.

Professional deep cleaning helps remove the contamination from deeper layers and restore the carpet more effectively.

Professional Mattress Cleaning in Ely – Deep Steam Sanitising for a Healthier Home

, , , , , ,

We spend nearly one-third of our lives in bed. Over time, mattresses naturally collect dust mites, dead skin cells, sweat and allergens that regular vacuuming simply cannot remove.

At Ely Cleaning Services Ltd, we provide professional mattress cleaning in Ely using deep steam extraction to restore hygiene, freshness and peace of mind.

Why Mattress Hygiene Matters

A mattress may look clean on the surface, but inside it can hold:

    • Dust mites and allergens
    • Bacteria build-up
    • Body oils and moisture
    • Lingering odours

Professional mattress steam cleaning helps reduce allergy symptoms and improves overall bedroom air quality — especially important for families and pet owners in Ely and surrounding areas.

Deep Cleaning vs. Stubborn Stains – Honest Expectations

When it comes to mattress cleaning, we always choose honesty over unrealistic promises.

Sanitisation Comes First

Even if a faint mark remains visible, our high-temperature steam extraction process fully sanitises the mattress, removing bacteria and allergens.

Age of the Stain

Older stains bond with fabric fibres over time. Early treatment delivers better cosmetic results.

Fabric Type Matters

Memory foam toppers, hybrid mattresses and traditional damask covers react differently to cleaning solutions.

Permanent Discolouration

Some protein-based stains can cause permanent fibre damage. In such cases, the mattress is hygienically clean, even if slight shading remains.

We believe in transparency — not miracle claims.

Our Professional Mattress Cleaning Process in Ely

We follow a structured, safe and effective method:

  • Detailed Inspection – Fabric assessment and stain identification
  • Targeted Pre-Treatment – Eco-friendly solutions to break down oils and proteins
  • Powerful Steam Extraction – Deep removal of dust mites and embedded allergens
  • Neutral Deodorising – Fresh, clean finish without artificial scentsOur equipment allows for deep penetration while keeping drying times practical.

Why Choose a Local Mattress Cleaning Specialist in Ely?

Choosing a local professional means:

  • Fast response times
  • Honest advice
  • Fully insured service
  • 17y Experience with homes across Ely, Soham, Littleport and Cambridge.

    We understand local property types — from modern estates to older period homes — and adjust our cleaning methods accordingly.

How Often Should You Clean Your Mattress?

We recommend professional mattress cleaning every 6–12 months, especially if you:

  • Suffer from allergies
  • Have pets
  • Have young children
  • Notice odours or staining

Regular cleaning extends mattress lifespan and maintains a healthier sleeping environment.

Keeping Your Home Fresh: A Guide to Pet-Friendly Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning

, , , , , , , ,

Introduction – The Joy of Pets and the Challenge of Carpets

Living with pets in Ely, Cambridge, or Newmarket brings a lot of happiness, but it also brings unique challenges for your home’s hygiene. From muddy paws after a walk in the Fenlands to the inevitable “accidents” and the lingering scent of “wet dog,” your carpets and sofas act as magnets for pet hair, dander, and odours.
​At Ely Cleaning Services Ltd, we know that your pets are family. That is why we provide specialist cleaning solutions that are tough on stains but 100% safe for your four-legged friends.

Why Pet Owners Need Professional Deep Cleaning

Even if you vacuum every day, household vacuums often struggle to remove the fine pet dander and hair trapped deep within the carpet pile. Over time, this can lead to:
​Persistent Odours: Bacteria from pet accidents can settle into the carpet backing.
​Allergy Triggers: Dander and fur can aggravate asthma and allergies.
​Fabric Wear: Tiny particles of grit brought in on paws act like sandpaper, wearing down carpet fibres.

Our Pet-Safe Cleaning Process

We believe in a “safety-first” approach. When we visit your home in Soham, Littleport, or Burwell, we follow a strict process to ensure the best results for your family and pets:

​1. High-Filtration Vacuuming

​We remove the bulk of pet hair and dry soil that standard vacuum cleaners leave behind.

​2. Pet-Safe Pre-Treatment


​We use non-toxic, eco-friendly solutions to break down organic stains and oils without leaving harmful residues.

​3. Professional Extraction

Our industrial-grade hot water extraction (steam cleaning) removes deep-seated grime and sanitizes the area.

​4. Deodorising

​We don’t just mask smells; we use enzymes that neutralize the source of the odour, leaving your home smelling truly fresh.

​Expert Tip: If your pet has an accident, blot the liquid immediately with a white paper towel. Avoid using store-bought “miracle” sprays, as these can sometimes set the stain permanently or bleach the carpet!

More Than Just Carpets: Upholstery and Hard Floors

Pets love the sofa just as much as we do. Our Professional Upholstery Cleaning is perfect for removing that “doggy smell” from your favourite armchair. Additionally, if your muddy-pawed friends prefer the kitchen tiles, our Hard Floor Cleaning service ensures your grout lines stay clean and bacteria-free.

Serving Our Local Community

We are proud to assist pet owners across the region, including:
​
​Ely
Cambridge
Newmarket
Downham Market
​Soham
​Mildenhall
​And all surrounding villages.

Those Annoying Dark Edges – A Guide to Carpet Filter Lines

, , , , , ,

Have you ever noticed thin, dark grey lines appearing around the edges of your carpets? This often happens under doors or near air vents. You aren’t alone in this. These are known as filter lines (or draught marks). Furthermore, they are a very common headache for many homeowners.

What are Filter Lines and Why Do They Appear?

Filter lines occur through a process called “filtration soiling.” As air moves through your home, it seeks the easiest path between rooms and floors. For example, it often passes through the gap between the carpet and the wall. The carpet then acts like a giant filter. Consequently, it traps microscopic particles of dust, soot, and pollutants. Over time, these build up into the dark lines you see today.

Can Filter Lines Be Removed Completely?

Our Realistic Approach to Carpet Care


We believe in being 100% honest with our customers. However, because these particles are microscopic and deeply embedded, it is often impossible to remove filter lines completely to zero. This is because the pollutants often bond permanently to the carpet fibers.

How Ely Cleaning Services Can Help

However, at Ely Cleaning Services Ltd, we use professional-grade extractors and specialized cleaning solutions to significantly lighten these marks. While we cannot guarantee they will disappear entirely, we always strive to achieve the best possible aesthetic result for your home.

More Than Just Carpets: Our Professional Services

While we are experts at tackling tough carpet issues, we provide a full range of cleaning services to keep your entire home looking its best:
​Upholstery Cleaning: Professional care for everything from family sofas to delicate fabrics.
​Hard Floor Cleaning: Specialist cleaning for stone, tile, and vinyl floors.
