Different stains behave differently — wine, coffee, grease and ink each need a different first step, but the general rule stays the same: blot, don't rub, and skip random tips from the internet. The final result usually comes from extraction, not the first aid alone.
Rushed rubbing pushes a stain in deeper and spreads its edges. Home remedies like vinegar or baking soda sometimes help and sometimes just change the stain's colour or damage the fabric — it depends on the stain type and the material.
Identify the stain type, apply first aid within the first few minutes, then test on a hidden spot before finishing with extraction. An old or large stain usually needs professional help — call 062 110 999.
For oily stains (sauce, oil, cream), sprinkle talc or cornstarch first — it soaks up the grease before it sinks in deep. After 10–15 minutes brush off the powder and continue with wet cleaning if needed.
For pigment-based stains (wine, juice, berries), blot with cold water, never hot — heat sets the pigment. Protein-based stains (milk, blood) also need cold water, since hot water hardens the protein.
Scrubbing with a brush or rough cloth just pushes the stain deeper and can damage the fibres. Home recipes with vinegar or baking soda sometimes work, but sometimes react with dyes and leave a light patch — always test on a hidden spot first.
Don't mix several different products at once — the reaction between them can be unpredictable. If the first product didn't help, wait and assess the result on dry fabric before trying another.
If a stain is old, large, or left a faint shadow after local treatment, first aid alone won't do the job — it needs extraction with a Kärcher Puzzi 10/1. The solution penetrates deeper into the fibres than surface cleaning can reach, and strong suction pulls out the residue.
For tougher stains — old wine, set-in ink — the result isn't always 100%, but extraction gives the best realistic outcome. For a reliable, risk-free result, call 062 110 999 to book the service.
