SERVING LAWRENCE SINCE 2005
Stain Removal Lawrence KS
Stain removal Lawrence KS homeowners and renters can call when the spot will not budge: coffee, red wine, pet urine, or a mystery mark that has been there for months. Call (785) 760-8000 for a free estimate.
A stain is a timing problem as much as a cleaning problem. The longer a spill sits, and the more products get used on it first, the less there is to work with. Brooke’s Chem-Dry Lawrence treats stains in carpet, rugs and furniture across Lawrence and Douglas County.
A professional stain removal service works the stain out of the carpet instead of pushing it deeper. If you want the whole room refreshed at the same visit, see our page on carpet cleaning in Lawrence, KS.
Call (785) 760-8000 and tell us what spilled and roughly when.

Dries in Hours, Not Overnight

Tell Us the Material
Wool, nylon, polyester and blends each react differently to a spill, so tell us what you know about your carpet when you call.
How Does Our Stain Removal Process Work?
The cleaning itself is Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE). Our core cleaner, The Natural®, uses carbonation to help lift dirt from carpet fibers. It doesn’t rely on soapy detergents or harsh chemicals, and it leaves no dirt-attracting residue behind. HCE uses about 80% less water than steam cleaning.
Coffee and tea, food and pet accidents, ink and grease each respond to something different, and red wine gets its own treatment because it carries dye.

What carpet stains can a professional remove?
Results depend on the stain, the fiber and how long it has been there. Common household stains:
- Coffee, tea, soda and red wine
- Food, sauce and grease
- Pet urine, vomit and other accidents
- Ink and marker
- Water stains and brown rings from an overwatered plant or a slow leak
- Mud tracked in after a wet week
Bleach spots and some dyes are a different problem. They change the color of the fiber itself, so there is nothing left to lift out. A water stain is different: the brown ring is often dirt wicking up from the backing, which is a soil problem rather than a color problem.
How much do stain removal services cost in Lawrence?
It depends on how many spots there are, what caused them, and whether the rest of the room is being cleaned too. For the details, read what stain removal costs in Lawrence, or call (785) 760-8000 for a free estimate.
Can urine stains come out of carpet?
Sometimes. It depends on how long the urine has sat and whether it has changed the color of the fiber. Older accidents can leave a yellow tint even after the smell is handled.
The smell is its own job. Urine soaks past the surface into the backing and pad, which is why a spot can look clean and still smell. P.U.R.T.® (Pet Urine Removal Treatment) removes pet urine odors from carpets. More on that on our pet odor removal in Lawrence, KS page.
What should you do before the technician arrives?
Blot, don’t scrub. Press a white towel on the spot to pull up as much as you can, working from the outside in so it doesn’t spread. Then leave it alone.
Skip the vinegar, the baking soda paste and the bargain spot remover. Each of those can set a stain or leave a residue that pulls in dirt and turns the spot gray a couple of weeks later. That is a common reason a stain seems to come back, and we wrote up the others in why stains come back after cleaning.
How do you choose a stain removal company?
Ask three questions on the phone. What do you think the stain is? How long until it’s dry? What happens if it doesn’t come out? A company that can’t answer the first one is guessing, and a vague answer to the last one is worth noticing.
Then read recent reviews from people in your area, and look for the ones that mention stains, not just a general clean. If you want to run your stain past us first, call (785) 760-8000, describe it, and ask for a free estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stain Removal in Lawrence
Does a stain that has been there for months still have a chance?
Sometimes. Age matters less than what the stain is and what has been put on it since. A five-year-old coffee spot nobody touched can respond better than last week’s spill that got scrubbed with dish soap.
How soon should I call after a spill?
As soon as you can, and blot it in the meantime. A fresh stain hasn’t set into the fiber yet, so it has the best odds. Call (785) 760-8000.
Do you treat stains on furniture too?
Yes. Sofas and chairs are treated after the technician reviews the fabric’s cleaning code: W, WS or S. See upholstery cleaning in Lawrence, KS for furniture.
How long does carpet take to dry after cleaning?
About 1 to 2 hours. HCE uses about 80% less water than steam cleaning, which can take up to 12 to 24 hours to dry.
Do you handle stains outside Lawrence too?
Yes. Our service area is Lawrence, Eudora, Lecompton, Baldwin City and Douglas County. Call (785) 760-8000 to ask about your address.
