Perhaps one of you can guide me to a solution for this little issue.
Picture a light dove blue polyprop carpet. Fairly heavy wear in traffic lanes - though its cleaned up well.
We are left with a bit of colour change (lighter) - due to the crushing and wear of the pile. Client fully understands and it was explained BEFORE cleaning was undertaken. Light is reflected differently in that area and it appears lighter.
Not that said client is concerned at all - even delighted at the final result, rather its me that would prefer to know for next time, but I am a bit puzzled by the apparent appearance of a very light soiling on the carpet. This is really only on the heaviest wear part. IE: The entrance from the kitchen (tiled floor) to the passage way (the carpet presently in the dock).
I have used various goodies thereon - as well as used some serious aggitation as well as dwell time etc.
Used a hot prespary even and immediately rinsed.
Point is, that it has the lightest of shadow left behind on the heavy wear area - and its soil coloured. Checked the backing of the carpet and the underlay. Doesn't seem to be a problem.
Fortunately I explained proior to the clean that pile wear etc will possibly result in clean but slightly different appearance - otherwise I suspect I would have a client that is perhaps not as happy as she currently is.
How do I deal with this in future and what adventurous techniques or goodies can I try (at home of course) in order to obtain a better result in future. OR do I accept that the years may have had their effect on the carpet.
Thanking you in advance for your kind guidance.
