Title: Bit of help wanted
Post by: the red carpet on January 29, 2007, 08:16:12 pm

Hi all,
i have a job to do this week where a rug was placed on top of a freshly staingarded carpet.

Its a wool rug and has a 3inch cotton border on the back, where the cotton is it has left a yellowish mark on the carpet underneath. I see this quite often with these rugs actually.

Im thinking a de-browning treatment might help, any other suggestions ???

Red if the carpet fibre has any wool content then your on a hiding to nothing.Is it browning or dye transfer?

Red if the carpet has been protected! you will have to break though the protecter before you can work on the carpet. Not an easey task me thinks! Looks like a case of cellulose browning caused from the protecter drying with the rug on top. Either Ken or J/B are the guy's who can help with this one

Yeah im sure thats what it is, i would have thought high temp and high ph would lower the suface tension and break through the protector. And if it is cellouse browning then its gotta be a browning treatment of some sort.

I think ???

Red you may need to use some other way than that to break through the protecter!
