Stain-Resistant Carpet in Hayes — common questions
On solution-dyed ranges, yes — 1:10 household bleach and water is the manufacturer's recommendation for stubborn stains. Colour survives because it's built into the fibre, not printed on top.
Wool resists dirt but holds dye — red wine and coffee will stain permanently. For a Hayes family home we usually steer wool to bedrooms and put solution-dyed nylon in the living areas.
10 years on the ranges we fit most in BR2 — covers common household staining but not pet urine (that needs a specific pet-treated range).
