Specialty Spot & Stain Removal in Fort Wayne
We have seen any spot you can imagine on carpet, rugs and furniture in Fort Wayne! While some spots will clean out with our thorough cleaning method, some require more attention. Distinctive has decades of experience in using specialty spotters to safely remove spots and stains!
Can every spot/stain be treated the same way?
No! There are many types of spots that fit into three categories.
Oil Based Spots – These include gum, grease, nail polish, makeup, paint, etc. Distinctive uses various solvents to dissolve oil based spots. Care is taken not to overapply the solvent to prevent delamination of the carpet backing.
Organic Spots – These include coffee, tea, urine, vomit, etc. Distinctive uses an oxidizer to remove these spots.
Synthetic Dye Spots – These include dyes from food/drink such as Kool-Aid, Gatorade, colored candy, pet food, spaghetti sauce, etc. Distinctive uses a reducing agent and steam to remove spots like these.
What about spots that come back or “come up from the carpet pad” even after removal attempts?
- Some spots can wick up from the base to the carpet tip if not cleaned out 100%. Distinctive performs a thorough cleaning along with fast drying to ensure spots are completely removed.
- Some spots with a high alkalinity pH can attract soil or turn brown. Distinctive uses a specialized rinse to neutralize the pH.
- Some spots can return if foamy soap residue from a previous cleaning or spot removal attempts are left behind. Distinctive uses a defoamer solution to remove the residue.
- Some spots reappear because adhesive is left behind on carpet fibers from tape, stickers or plastic adhesive carpet protectors. Distinctive uses a solvent to remove the adhesive so it does not reattract soil.
What spots could be permanent?
Paint spots, synthetic dye stains, furniture stains and mustard stains may be permanent.
Color from carpet can be permanently removed/bleached out from overly aggressive or incorrect spot removal cleaners, such as bleach. Carpet may need to be replaced at this point. Or the spots could potentially be re-dyed to match the existing color of the carpet. Distinctive provides Carpet Spot Dyeing services – learn more here!
What can a homeowner use to remove spots safely?
Some spot removal attempts can make spots worse or cause permanent damage. To find safe solutions, use our Free DIY Spot Removal Guide found here.
We also sell a general spot cleaner found here. It has a neutral pH, will not leave a sticky residue and will not cause color loss if used correctly.
Or make the wise choice and leave it to the professionals at Distinctive. We can remove spots like the ones mentioned below!

“Very highly recommended!! Just moved into a new home and thought we were going to have to replace all the carpet due to stains from the previous homeowner. I was blown away when Alan removed all the stains and saved us from having to replace the carpet right now. Alan called me on his way and arrived at the scheduled time. Alan took precautions to protect my doorways and trim. I will use them again as needed and recommend them to anyone in need of carpet cleaning!” – Mr. Schaefer

This little Yorkie from Corunna, IN made our day! He was so tiny, but so curious about us. He reminded us of our own dog & Distinctive’s mascot, Wrigley! As you can see, Shotsy’s owners have some beautiful rugs we got to clean, including this wool Sarouk that he is pictured on. Thanks for having us to your home, Shotsy!
