Can Page Get a ______ Stain Out of My Clothes?

What can we promise with stain removal?

We can promise to use a professional process and do our best, to give you a high chance of stain removal, but we can’t promise perfect results. While we do have great success most of the time on most stains, unfortunately there are times when permanent damage has been done to a garment as a result of heavy soiling, a spill or stain. Some contaminants can permanently dye or damage the fibres of your garment, and while we might be able to improve the appearance, we may not be able to fully restore it to it’s original condition.

Other times we find that there is damage to the fibres once we’ve cleaned it and attempted stain removal, and we can’t reverse actual fibre damage. We will always do our best, and keep you informed when this is the case.

Whether a spot is removable is dependent on:

You might see an amazing video online of a stain being removed and wonder why we can’t remove the same type of stain. It could be related to any of the items below:

  • What caused the stain – some things are much more likely to have a permanent dying or damaging effect. Things that are oily or have a strong pigment are much harder to remove than neutral non-oily stains.
  • Whether the stain has set – attempts to clean the spill or spot, using the wrong products, having put it through the wash as well as the temperature of water, and how the garment was dried can all set a stain.
  • How old the stain is – newer is always easier to handle than older. Storing an unwashed garment for a long time can contribute to setting the stain and making it difficult to remove.
  • What kind of fabric the garment is made of – synthetic fabrics are more resistant to water based stains, but more likely to hold onto oil based stains. Natural materials also have different traits when it comes to holding onto a stain.

When it comes to preventing spots & spills from permanently dying or damaging a treasured piece of clothing, your best bet is to work with a professional who is equipped with the right tools, professional stain removal agents, professional techniques and lots of experience!

Brought my ball gown in to be altered last minute and Blessing had it done the same day with fantastic results. Highly recommend!I will add a picture of the full gown later.

I've been going here for years. Great service and friendly staff. Coveralls are almost always done within a couple days. Prices are good I normally pay around 40-50 for 8 coveralls. Would love to see a night time drop off slip option one day. But other than that if you're an oil and gas worker come here to get the bitumen out of your coveralls.

- Itz Lamey

Always welcomed with a smile and great service. I work in the oilfield and my coveralls and gear come back almost like brand new. I won’t go anywhere else. Repairs get done if needed and great pricing.

I've been going to Page on 111th for probably 7 years and their commitment to providing a high quality service has never wavered. Today, the team at Page went above and beyond to save my new, almost stupid-expensive winter coat from an untimely and early demise at the hands of an ill-constructed breakfast wrap. In addition to the acute care they provided me today, I've taken my dress shirts in for dry cleaning every few weeks for 5 years and they've consistently delivered on cleaning the shirts, prolonging their life, and never misplacing them. Not once has there been a mistake... Kind of wild. While I've benefited from Google reviews for so long, this may be my first ever review and it is the bare minimum of what the team at Page deserves. Thank you and I'm glad that I get to continue to benefit from the service you provide.

Amazing Service! I had dropped off my Canada Goose Parka to get cleaned and they did a great job!! Would definitely come back here and recommend to someone else looking to get their jacket cleaned. If I could give them an extra 5 stars I would! I am that pleased with the results. Thank you again!!
