See What Carpets Look Like Before and After a Professional Carpet Cleaning

A steam cleaner is run across a carpet, showing the color difference of a before and after of a professional carpet cleaning.

Over time, our carpets take a beating. Stains are tracked in, spills are made, your pet has an accident. Until one day you’re looking at your floor wondering why it’s covered in discolored spots. 

But there’s no need to worry — as you can see in our before and after carpet cleaning photos, these stains can be completely removed through the power of professional steam cleaning. 

We’ll walk you through how!

Windell’s Carpet Cleaning Before and After Photos

The before and after carpet cleaning images we’re sharing with you today are real examples of our work at Windell’s Carpet Care. Many customers are shocked at the results, thinking their carpets were beyond saving. 

You’ll notice that, in addition to restoring the carpet back to its original color, our work can also restore thicker carpets that have become matted over time to their original, plush glory.

These results aren’t just for show, either. Professional carpet cleaning extends the life of your carpet and improves indoor air quality, too.

What Causes Dark Carpet Stains?

Unless you’ve had a particularly big spill, you may be wondering where your stains even came from. Dark carpet stains can have many sources, but some of the most common culprits include:

  • Dirt & Mud: Shoes track in soil, which builds up over time, particularly in entryways and high-traffic areas.
  • Beverage Spills: Coffee, soda, and wine leave stubborn stains that bond to carpet fibers.
  • Pet Accidents: Urine and other pet stains can darken over time and create lingering odors.
  • Oil & Grease: Cooking oils, lotions, and even skin oils contribute to dark spots in frequently used areas, such as near sofas or beds.
  • Mildew & Moisture: Dampness in carpets can lead to mildew growth, causing dark discoloration and potential health concerns.

Carpets don’t just get dirty—they lose their texture and structure over time. Constant foot traffic, furniture weight, and exposure to dirt and moisture can cause this.

The Science Behind Steam Cleaning: Why It Works

After over 50 years cleaning carpets, we believe that steam cleaning is the best way to clean your carpets. Not only is it highly effective, but it doesn’t use harmful chemicals. 

Professional steam cleaning through hot water extraction goes deep into the fibers of your carpet to remove dirt, bacteria, and allergens​. Here’s how it works:

  1. Hot Water & Pressure: A high-powered machine injects hot water and cleaning solution into the carpet fibers. The heat helps break down stains and loosen dirt.
  2. Agitation & Dwell Time: The cleaning solution suspends dirt particles, separating them from the carpet fibers​.
  3. Powerful Extraction: The machine extracts the water and dirt, leaving the carpet fresh, clean, and almost dry.

Unlike chemical-heavy methods, steam cleaning uses only hot water and non-toxic solutions, making it safe for everyone in your household
