Some synthetic dyes are not fixed fast enough to the fibers and the consequence is that they are more likely to run in moist environments or in wet conditions such as spills and water damage. Also, inexperienced cleaners cause this problem by applying the wrong process at the wrong time.
We have the knowledge and experience to identify this potential problem before we begin and can take steps to mitigate color run at the time of cleaning.
In some situations, water damage can make the effects of color runs irreversible; however, we can often remove the damage or at least make it look better.
