Title: Rug bleed
Post by: Brendan (chem2clean) on August 05, 2014, 08:19:45 am

Cleaned a 70/30 urine soaked rug yesterday. Blue backing , habitat style rug, must have cleaned hundreds off these over the years. Cream and white rug, with a light grey running try rough it. After cleaning the rug, up it some oxidizer through my porty to brighten the rug a little. This morning I noticed that around the grey border areas there's a red bleed, but there's no red on the facial area of the rug.

Are you wanting to know what to do about it? or wanting to know the cause?

The cause I cant help !! the cure , I would suggest immersion clean, flushing through as much clean water as necessary until all the bleed has been removed.

Hey Geoff , more the cause . Flushed it with a acidic rinse and it came out pretty easy ,just very strange.
