Title: Has this happened to you?
Post by: Paul Redden Countryfresh on May 03, 2012, 05:03:59 pm
Went to protect a new beige 80/20 wool carpet. After misting some acidic rinse, blue spots
appeared  :o On blotting it was apparant it went down to the base of the fibres.
My local carpet shop said it's the blue dye from sheep, that was missed in manufacture.

Has this happened to you?

Worrying that it could have showed up years later with a carpet clean ::)

The sheep dye idea sounds totally implausible when you think how wool is processed and spun then the carpet manufactured.
