Going to a regular customers house tomoorow, they have found a stain resulting from over watering a plant, mostly from the peat fibre. Pot sits on a cream 80/20, I'm not confident of successful removal but suggestions welcome.

i came across a sim situation a few months back in a conservatory lots of brown spots from water drips with fertilizer in the plant feed although it was not complete removal they did improve. have it written down what i used will dig it up in a bit. wouldnt hold you breath about removing them though.

Hi phillip
Dont see as many of them as i used to but dont think you will get it all out maybe an improvment.
Just be carefull what you treat it as it will loosen the pile on the carpet in time...

Put a bigger plant pot down ;D

ive done a few with minimal success, usually find the backing has diminished and the fibres are f****ed.
good luck.

If it's in the corner try lifting the carpet. i bet you'll find discolouration and mould growing in the reverse. (Please note i was talking about the carpet, not you Phillip.)
Basically the carpet is knackered. Try something to stop the mould and bacteria growing on it. Let it fully dry out. Thereafter it'll be THE place for the plantpot in the room-but with an impervious barrier underneath it. :)
You'll often get a call to these around January 6th /7th when people remove the real Christmas tree.
