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!

What Our Customers Have To Say

Had to have a cycling shirt altered. The ladies at Page The Cleaner and Tailor went above and beyond to get my shirt taken care of with one day service and the price was right. Much appreciated....Highly recommend...

Go to Page the Cleaner for any tailoring you need done without hesitation!I brought in a bunch of items to be tailored on a Friday before the long weekend, and they were all done for me on the next Friday. The work looks great, and everything fits as I was hoping. The two people who helped me through the process were great and very friendly.I always thought tailoring was out of my price range, but it was actually extremely affordable. I will definitely be bringing in all my clothes to be tailored here going forward!

Just picked up my Moose Knuckle winter jacket which needed a cleaning and replacement sleeve elastic cuffs and a new waistband all around elastic. First I would like to say what an amazing job, like new and the cost for all the work done was less than half the price I believe would be charged. I would not hesitate to bring any article that needs to be serviced. Hat's off to all the staff and what a wonderful place to visit. **************

I have been using Page the Cleaner for over three years and I am very satisfied with their service. They are always friendly, helpful, and efficient. They have a variety of machines to suit different needs, and they are well maintained and clean. Their prices are reasonable. They accommodated a last minute drop off, had it ready and looking like new way quicker than I would have expected. They’re also straight up with any issues they can see before they accept an item for cleaning which was great. Very highly recommended.

Did a very nice job cleaning and mending all of my clothes, including a Carhartt shirt with multiple holes that was probably a pita to fix. Good place to go for work clothes repair
