Contemporary Carpet Clean
Member
ok weird thing happend to us....
We cleaned a carpet in a commercial building.... 6 floors up with portables...we have cleaned it the same way numerous times before (hot water extraction) no padding pre or post....just prespray and extract (gov't lowest bidder deal). We get a call that some brown spots came back....really not suprised at that b/c there were lots of coffee spills. I got back and sprayed spots with Stain Wizards Browning treatment and rubbed with WHITE terry cloth....PH of 1.5 spots go away. Get a call a couple days later....SOME not all of spots came back but now the spots are a reddish/pinkish/purple color. Honestly if you look real close it almost looks as if the dye in the carpet has ran. The carpet is mostly gray with blueish small lines in it. I have used this or for any matter browning treatment forever and never had it turn any color appear other than brown upon drying (if it turned brown a second or third time it never needed anything more than another application). Has anyone ever had this problem before....and if you have what could if anything be done to rememdy this. Could a browning treatment turn a carpet reddish/purple
I am thinking that the janitor crew prior to us cleaning the carpet cleaned with a spotter as they do not have an extraction unit and some kind of chemical reaction happened....any help and or advice would be appreciated...thanks in advance
