If you have done your best to clean a stain and it seems to be gone you could be getting tricked. The stain may seems to be gone then a few days pass by and it is back again. This can be from a process that is called soiling and can happen to just about anyone. When you see a stain and you treat it you may think it is clean but the reality is that the cleaner you use can leave behind a residue. That residue then sticks to the carpet fibers and that does not allow it to stay clean. That is because the residue can be sticky and that will let the dirt and debris to stick to the area easily. That means that the area that you originally treated will look dirty again very fast making it seem as if the stain has come back.

If you clean a stain but the moisture is still down in the backing and the padding it will come back up to the surface. If you apply any pressure to the area after you think it has been cleaned the moisture will come back up through the carpet fibers making the stain appear again. This is due to the fact that the stain was not actually fully removed.
