Options for the cleaner's wash water

Wash water can go to a sanitary sewer drain at the property with permission or be discharged at the contractor's business. Flows to Bay, San Mateo County's stormwater pollution prevention program, says mobile cleaners must never drain wash or rinse water into streets, gutters, parking lots or storm drains; the water can usually enter the sanitary sewer through a utility sink, floor drain, mop sink, cleanout or toilet at the owner's home or business, with property owner permission for disposal at the job site or contractor's business and local sanitary sewer treatment authority approval for every sewer discharge.

Do carpet cleaners vacuum first in Burlingame, including along tread edges?

After I have already tried spot treatments, can old stains still be taken out of my Burlingame staircase carpet?

Some old stains can improve, but the spill, previous treatments and any dye change decide the limits. Your technician tests the fibers and explains whether more spot work is appropriate. The amount of treatment needed affects the scope; cleaning may leave a visible trace when the carpet's color has permanently changed.
