could it be a pink blotter
the type used in bingo halls?
i did one on sat for a guy, who had rented his house out
i had great success, with red rx but be careful to blot not rub, does take a while
but out it came check to see if it is soluable ;)

With Van on this one. Red RX using iron/nappy. If its in bathroom then probably bubble bath and unlikely to move

Could also be a bleach mark,,they come in various shades of different colours i've found over the years. The location is normally a clue, near sinks or bathrooms.

Obviously no cure if that is the case.

This could be anything.
I always tell custy there is no guarantee for an unknown stain.

If say, it's food colouring, jelly etc and it's wool.....it could have dyed the carpet permanently.
