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

I had my husband‘s pants cleaned at this store. And I had my new jeans hemmed by their Seamstress. Both items turned out perfect! I am very happy with my experience in this Cleaners. Everyone was friendly and the service was excellent. I highly recommend them and I’m sure you would be happy with anything they do for you too.

My first time using their service and I am more than pleased. I brought in a very dirty insulated FR parka, insulated bibs and a pair of coveralls and they came back looking damn near new and no longer smell like h2s. Customer service is top notch I emailed a few questions and I received a phone call from a very polite helpful lady who answered all my questions and gave a thorough explanation of the services they provide. I will definitely be a returning customer although I am going to try the St Albert location as it is closer to my home.i definitely recommend Page the cleaner for any of your cleaning needs they do great work and have excellent customer service

Took my husband's coat and my silk dress in husband's coat , had a rip on the inside pocket got that fixed perfect , they did a great job. Have not picked up a silk dress yet. But I can only imagine they did a perfect job on that too, I would recommend to my family and friends they have done an excellent job.

When I came to them they quoted my price as $195.00 but when I picked up, they only asked for $115.36. So on top of that nice surprise, they did a great job with my request and finished exactly when they said they would.

I ordered a new shirt from Amazon and the tailoring at this shop made it look perfect and fit perfectly. I needed it pressed anyway so all done very quickly. I will use their service again for sure!

Great service! Staff went out of their way to take care of the repair I needed. They saved my favorite leather jacket! Thanks so much.
