Jayda’s Carpet Stain Removal Story

See our AMAZING RESULTS below!

When I, Nicholas Martinuzzi, started Exceed Carpet Cleaning, I wanted to make one promise to my customers: no stain is too tough when you’ve got the right approach. Recently, I was called out to help Jayda, a Bruce ACT resident, who needed urgent carpet cleaning and stain removalbefore her rent inspection. She had tricky marks from Chinese food and acrylic paint stuck in her carpets—two of the most stubborn stains you can face. If you’ve ever battled carpet disasters like these, you know how stressful it feels. But don’t worry, that’s where we come in.

Here’s Jayda’s Story

Jayda was worried that her upcoming rent inspection might go badly if her carpets weren’t spotless. The pressure of renting in Bruce ACTis something many locals know all too well—property managers expect the place to be pristine. Unfortunately, Jayda’s carpets had taken a beating. Spilled Chinese food left greasy blotches, and to make matters worse, a patch of bright acrylic paint had hardened into the fibers. She needed a solution fast, and DIY just wasn’t going to cut it.

The Carpet Condition Before We Started 

When I arrived, Jayda showed me the areas of concern. The food stains had created dark, oily patches that had soaked deep into the fibers. If you’ve ever dropped sweet and sour sauce or fried rice on carpet, you know those pigments and oils don’t just sit on the surface—they seep down and cling to the backing.

The paint was even more worrying. Acrylic paint acts like glue. Once it dries, it binds tightly to the fibers, creating a stiff, crunchy texture. Rubbing it only risks spreading the color or tearing the fabric. I could tell Jayda had tried blotting it herself, but it barely made a difference. The patch looked like a scar on an otherwise clean carpet.

For a renter about to face inspection, this wasn’t just about looks—it was about peace of mind. A failed inspection can mean losing part of a bond, and I understood why Jayda felt the pressure.

How We Tackled the Stains

Every stain tells a story, and every stain needs the right approach. I started with a deep carpet clean, using hot water extraction to flush out everyday dust, dirt, and light marks. This step is crucial—it prepares the carpet for targeted stain treatment and ensures the specialty products can do their job.

For the Chinese food stain, I used a professional-grade solution specifically designed to break down food oils and pigments. Think of it like cutting grease in a frying pan—you need the right cleaner to lift it away. With gentle agitation, I worked the solution into the fibers, breaking down the residue without spreading it further. Slowly, the dark blotches began to fade until the carpet’s natural color reappeared.

The acrylic paintwas more delicate. I softened the hardened paint using a specialized agent, carefully loosening it from the fibers. It’s like untangling a knot—you can’t force it; you have to coax it apart bit by bit. Once the paint began to release, I used controlled hot water extraction to flush the loosened particles away. The key here was patience and precision—removing the paint without damaging or discoloring the carpet.

Throughout the process, I checked the fibers constantly. Carpet isn’t just fabric—it’s an investment, and my goal was to restore it, not just clean it.

The Final Results That Impressed

By the time I finished, the difference was night and day. The greasy food blotches? Gone. The hardened acrylic paint? Lifted cleanly, with no trace left behind. The carpet didn’t just look clean—it felt soft and fresh underfoot again.

Jayda’s reaction said it all. You could see the relief on her face when she realized her carpets were ready for inspection. The stress she carried when I first arrived melted away, replaced with confidence. That’s the power of professional carpet cleaning—you don’t just remove stains; you restore comfort and peace of mind.

For me, it’s always satisfying to see a customer go from anxious to thrilled in a single visit. That’s why I love what I do.

And what does Jayda think?

Here’s Jayda’s feedback in her own words:

Feedback like that makes the hard work worthwhile. Every stain is a challenge, but every happy customer is proof that the right techniques make all the difference.
