Questions about ColourRevive™
Straight answers about suitability, results, wool carpets, timing and cost.
What is ColourRevive™, and how is it different from a professional carpet clean?+
ColourRevive™ combines George’s full professional maintenance clean with specialist care for the existing colour of suitable carpets. The intention is to help maintain colour and slow colour depletion through ongoing care. It is not offered to restore carpet that has already faded.
Is ColourRevive™ suitable if my carpet has already faded?+
ColourRevive™ is positioned as maintenance, not restoration of existing fading. If your carpet has already lost colour or become uneven, George will assess it for carpet colour restoration instead.
Will ColourRevive™ prevent all future colour loss?+
No. It is intended to help maintain existing colour and slow colour depletion, but it is not a guarantee against future fading, chemical damage or other causes of colour change. George will explain appropriate aftercare for your carpet.
Can ColourRevive™ restore sun fading?+
Sun fading that has already occurred belongs under carpet colour restoration. ColourRevive™ is a maintenance clean and is not offered as a way to restore already-faded carpet.
Does ColourRevive™ change my carpet to a different colour?+
No. Its purpose is ongoing care of the existing colour. For an achievable darker shade or darker different colour, ask about carpet dyeing.
How do you know whether my carpet is suitable?+
George assesses fibre type, construction, condition, soiling and colour individually. Not every carpet is suitable. If ColourRevive is not the right treatment, George will explain that before work begins and suggest the option most likely to help.
Can ColourRevive fix bleach damage?+
No. Bleach damage requires separate assessment for bleach-spot repair or broader colour restoration. ColourRevive™ is ongoing maintenance and does not protect against or restore bleach damage.
Is ColourRevive suitable for wool carpets?+
Some wool carpets may be suitable and others may not be. Where appropriate, WoolSafe-approved products are available for the cleaning stage, while ColourRevive suitability is assessed separately for the individual carpet and treatment required.
How long does ColourRevive take?+
Timing depends on room size, carpet construction, condition, soiling and whether maintenance colour care is suitable. George will explain the likely duration and drying guidance when providing the quotation.
Can it be combined with stain removal or carpet repair?+
Sometimes. Separate stain, restoration or repair work is assessed and quoted as its own service. George will explain which work can sensibly be combined.
What can ColourRevive not fix?+
It does not restore existing fading, change an unwanted colour, repair burns, cuts, missing pile, severe physical wear or structural damage, and it does not fix every stain or chemical mark. George will recommend another service or advise against treatment where appropriate.
How much does ColourRevive cost?+
Every job is priced individually according to the rooms, fibre, condition, soiling, access and suitability for maintenance colour care. Separate restoration, stain or repair work is assessed independently. George provides a free photo assessment and fixed quotation before work begins.
What happens if ColourRevive isn’t suitable for my carpet?+
George will explain why it is unsuitable and recommend the most sensible alternative, which may be professional cleaning, targeted colour correction, repair or no treatment at all. There is no obligation following the free photo assessment.
