You cannot clean grease with water. That is the fundamental problem with most at-home attempts. Grease Stain Removal Ajax from Cleaning Services Ajax uses professional degreasing chemistry and the right application method for each surface so the stain actually lifts instead of spreading.
Grease stains are stubborn for a reason. Oil-based compounds do not dissolve in water, which means rinsing, blotting, or using a water-based cleaner on a grease stain moves it around without removing it. The stain often looks smaller after the first attempt, then resurfaces as it spreads through the fibers and attracts more dust and dirt. Cleaning Services Ajax provides Grease Stain Removal Ajax for homeowners across Ajax who need the stain fully lifted from the surface and its layers, not temporarily hidden.
Grease and oil stains belong to a specific chemical category that requires a lipophilic solvent or a surfactant strong enough to emulsify the oil before extraction. The common household approach of applying dish soap and blotting works partially, because dish soap does contain surfactants, but the concentrations in retail dish soap are not high enough to fully emulsify the grease in a carpet backing or upholstery foam, and the soap residue left behind attracts dirt aggressively.
Grease stains also spread laterally when treated incorrectly. Applying too much liquid to a grease stain on carpet dilutes the oil and carries it outward, creating a larger, lighter stain where there was a smaller, concentrated one. Our Grease Stain Removal Ajax process applies professional-grade degreasing agents with controlled lateral spread and uses dry extraction or hot-water extraction matched to the surface to remove both the emulsified grease and the cleaning agent together.
Grease Stain Removal with Cleaning Services Ajax is priced starting from $99 to $299 depending on the number of stains, how far the grease has spread, and the fabric type involved. A single fresh stain on standard carpet sits toward the lower end, while multiple older stains or upholstery treatment sit higher.
Grease requires a solvent-based treatment to break the molecular bond between oil and fiber, unlike water-based stains that respond to simpler cleaning methods. Oil also spreads laterally through fiber, meaning the treated area is often larger than the visible stain.
Yes. A stain treated within a day or two typically costs less since the grease has not spread as far or bonded as tightly to the fiber. Stains older than a week often need longer dwell time and sometimes multiple treatment passes, which increases cost.
Dish soap is designed for non-porous surfaces and rarely penetrates deep enough to fully lift grease from carpet or upholstery fiber. DIY attempts often fail and can allow the stain to spread further before professional treatment begins.
Yes, typically. Automotive and machine grease contains heavier hydrocarbons that bond more aggressively to fiber than cooking oil or butter, requiring a stronger solvent and longer treatment time, which is reflected in the cost.
The most accurate quotes come from an in-person assessment or a clear photo showing the full extent of the stain, including any visible halo. A phone description alone often cannot capture how far the grease has actually spread beneath the surface.
A single fresh stain typically takes 1 to 2 hours to treat. Older or more widespread stains, or those on upholstery requiring gentler handling, can take longer, and some deeply set stains may need a follow-up visit.
Fresh stains usually respond completely to professional treatment. Older, deeply set stains sometimes only fade significantly rather than disappearing entirely. Cleaning Services Ajax explains the realistic outcome honestly before starting any work.
Grease ends up on more surfaces in a home than just the kitchen floor. Cooking splatter, fingerprints from oily hands, mechanical grease tracked in from a garage, and body oils from regular contact all create grease staining on a range of household surfaces. Cleaning Services Ajax completes Grease Stain Removal Ajax across all of the following:
Kitchen tile grout is one of the most common grease stain problems in residential properties. Cooking oil vapors and direct splatter from stovetop use deposit on tile and settle into grout pores where they oxidize over time and turn dark yellow or brown. Standard floor mopping distributes the grease across more surface area without removing it from the grout. The accumulation in grout is what makes a kitchen floor look perpetually grimy even after cleaning.
Our Grease Stain Removal Ajax approach for kitchen tile involves an alkaline degreaser applied to the grout lines, a dwell period appropriate for the degree of accumulation, and mechanical agitation to work the degreaser into the pores before extraction. For older or severe accumulation, the process may require a second application. The result is grout that matches its original color rather than the darkened appearance that built up over years of cooking. A grout sealer application after cleaning significantly reduces how quickly the grease accumulation returns.
Grease stains on carpet have a reputation for returning after cleaning because the treatment removed the surface-visible portion of the stain while the oil deeper in the fiber and backing remained. As the carpet is walked on and heated by sunlight or underfloor heating, the residual oil wicks back up through the fiber to the surface where it picks up fresh dust and debris, making the stain visible again.
Our team addresses carpet grease stains from the fiber surface through to the backing level. We use a surfactant pre-spray with adequate dwell time, followed by hot-water extraction that pulls the emulsified oil out of the backing layer rather than leaving it to resurface. For older stains or those on light-colored carpets, we use a secondary dry-solvent treatment after the water extraction to catch any residual oil before it can wick back. Homeowners across Ajax rarely need a follow-up call for a recurring carpet grease stain after a properly completed treatment.
If the grease stain just happened, do not apply water and do not scrub. Scrubbing spreads the oil into neighboring fibers and makes the stain harder to extract. Blotting gently with a clean, dry white cloth to remove as much excess material as possible without rubbing is the right approach. Then leave it alone. The less water and product applied before we arrive, the cleaner the extraction and the better the final result.
Grease Stain Removal Ajax with Cleaning Services Ajax is priced starting from $99 to $299 depending on the surface type, the age of the stain, and how many areas require treatment. Kitchen tile grout jobs covering a full floor surface will sit at the higher end. A single grease stain on upholstery or carpet can sit significantly lower. Call (289) 906-4921 or contact us and describe the stain and surface so our team can confirm what the work involves before booking.
Set-in grease stains are harder to remove than fresh ones, but many respond well to professional treatment even after months. The key variable is whether oxidation has occurred. A fresh grease stain is a pure oil compound. Over weeks, grease oxidizes and can polymerize, bonding more tightly to fiber. Older stains may require more aggressive degreasing and longer dwell times, but they are rarely truly permanent on carpet or upholstery.
Our team assesses each stain before applying any treatment and gives homeowners an honest reading of what the likely outcome is based on the stain's age, the surface it is on, and whether any prior treatment has been applied. Cleaning Services Ajax does not charge for work it cannot deliver, and we explain the limitations clearly before starting any job where a complete removal is uncertain.

We've seen every type of grease and oil stain a home can have. Here are the problems our clients call us about most often.
Oil moves laterally through carpet and upholstery fiber, often spreading far beyond the original spill point. Left untreated, the affected area continues to grow. We map the full spread before treating so no hidden grease gets left behind.
Household dish soap is formulated for non-porous dishes, not fiber where grease has penetrated deep into the material. This is one of the most common reasons DIY attempts fail. We use a solvent-based treatment matched specifically to oil-based stains.
Automotive grease contains heavier hydrocarbons that bond more aggressively to fiber than cooking oil, making it harder to remove with standard products. Left alone, it can darken further over time. We use a stronger solvent suited to automotive-grade grease.
A fresh spill is far easier to treat than one left to set, since the oil has not yet spread deep into the fiber. Waiting even a few days makes removal more difficult. We recommend same-day treatment for the best possible result.
Delicate upholstery fabrics require a gentler, more careful approach than standard carpet, since the wrong treatment can damage the material. This makes upholstery grease removal more time-intensive. We identify the correct cleaning method before treating the fabric.
A halo forming around a stain means the grease has already spread laterally beneath the surface. This is a clear sign the affected area is larger than it appears. We treat the full spread pattern rather than just the visible mark.
Repeated home treatment attempts can sometimes push grease deeper into the fiber rather than lifting it out. This often means the stain is harder to treat by the time a professional arrives. We assess what was already tried before selecting the right approach.
Set-in grease stains require a longer dwell time and sometimes multiple treatment passes to fully lift the residue. Full removal is not always guaranteed on very old stains. We give an honest assessment of whether full removal or significant fading is realistic.
Cooking grease, machine grease, and automotive oil all respond differently to treatment, and using the wrong method can be ineffective or even set the stain further. Identifying the source matters for getting an accurate quote. We assess the grease type before recommending treatment.
Real write-ups from locals who recently booked in Ajax.
We had an old motor oil stain on our garage carpet that had been there for over a year. Cleaning Services Ajax explained the spread was wider than it looked and treated the full area. Completely gone now.
Splattered oil across the kitchen rug and called right away. The technician got the whole thing out in under an hour since it was still fresh. Wish I had known how much faster it works when you call immediately.
The stain had spread further than I realized so the price ended up higher than my initial guess. The technician explained why before starting and the end result was worth it.
We had tried dish soap on a grease stain for weeks with no luck. The team from Cleaning Services Ajax explained why that never works on carpet and used a proper solvent treatment instead. Should have called sooner.
The quote changed slightly once the technician saw how far the grease had spread under the surface, but they explained it clearly before doing any work. No surprises on the final bill.
Our couch fabric had a specific cleaning code so I was worried about damage. Cleaning Services Ajax used a gentler approach suited to the fabric and the grease stain is completely gone with no damage to the material.
Drop us a line about the job and our crew will follow up to arrange a time that works.
