You ever have one of those days were nothing seems to go right...today was it. 2k of wool on 2 levels in log home. Light beige cut pile around 15 years old. Arrived at job, realized I can't plumb into water line upstairs. Head back to shop for 100' garden hose.
I eventually finish upstairs (real wonky layout) and start downstairs. Homeowner had a bee infestation in their roof and gobs of honey dripped onto living room carpet. About 8 spots varying from golf ball to baseball size.
Used my wax method, had 2 kettles boiling and poured the hot water over honey while sucking up with vac cuff. While I am working on wax Ninga overflows while filling. Don't know where my head was but I did it good, probably 7 gallons of water laying on this wool carpet. AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Extract extract extract.
When I did the upstairs there was some browning on the carpet (pre existing) in front of shower and also where a plant had been sitting. I think cellulosic browning (jute back). When I left I could see a bit of discoloration appearing where water overflow occurred. Told custy I will call in am to see how things dried up. Suspect I am going to have a call back. If this carpet is browned out what can be done to remove the stain?
PS I won't even tell you about the pile distortion where the honey was removed. Double AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
