Hi all,

Went on a commercial job yesterday where they had a small flood, nothing major, the usual water mark and brown staining on about eight carpet tiles. The tiles were light grey with about six red stars as a patten, pre sprayed with browning prescription agitated left for 20 mins then rinsed with fibre and fabric rinse looked good. The problem was when extracting I noticed two pink blotches, it was almost as if the colour had bled from the red patten, I have never seen this before on carpet tiles. Tested elsewhere, nothing. Any ideas

Regards

Eric

Hi Eric

The secondary patern is normally over printed on a base colour tile the browning prescription and acid rinse can release the die, its not as strongly fixed.

increasing the chemical dilution and reducing the dwel time normally controls this

Hope this helps

Best regards Nick
