An old stain behaves differently from a fresh one: the pigment has already bonded with the fabric fibres, so one quick extraction cycle is often not enough. A realistic plan is one or two cycles with drying time between, and honest expectations about the final result. Puzzi 10/1 15 €/day. Call 062 110 999.
Promises to 'remove any stain, even years old' are often unrealistic — the older the stain, the higher the chance a faint shadow will remain even after professional extraction.
Assess the stain type and age → first extraction cycle → full drying → evaluate on dry fabric → second cycle if needed.
A stain a few days or weeks old often still responds well to extraction — the pigment hasn't fully bonded with the fibres yet. A stain months or years old, especially one exposed to sunlight or previously scrubbed with home remedies, has a lower chance of disappearing entirely.
It also matters how it was treated before — if hot water or aggressive chemicals were used earlier, the pigment may already be fixed deeper than it would be naturally.
The honest answer: an old stain can often be significantly faded, rarely removed so no trace remains at all. For light or expensive fabric, it's worth discussing this by phone 062 110 999 in advance rather than expecting a miracle after one cycle.
