What can water do to carpet, fabric, and upholstery? Upon the evaporation of water molecules, tiny traces can be left behind by sediment that leaves visible water stains. These spots have a way of making the appearance of upholstery and carpet unpleasant which affects the overall aesthetics of the house/office/store.
Let’s find out what is in water that causes ugly stains on a variety of furniture and upholsteries.

Water is also known scientifically as “H20”, which stands for 2 hydrogen atoms, and 1 oxygen atom. It can have different elements and minerals depending on the source. Trace elements can be found in water that has passed through certain rocks. They can be defined as chemical elements that are present in very small amounts in one sample or environment.
