Who did it? Dog poo can contain a brown dye that the put in dog food to make it a meaty colour.

But I find poo just rinses out quite easily, I would lick scrape up the big bits first then use your normal rinse.

Just go slow with your hand tool , can you turn the carpet back and place some  tarpelene  sheet underneath ( or anything waterproof) to stop the cardboard getting wet

Simply because they are very loyal good window cleaning customers,so I will do my best for them.. Anyone else I would have just said sorry it's not possible to get clean it. These people though are really nice and I want to try and come through for them..

it the carpet won’t separate from the backing,is it a case of using very little moisture? Just mist spray the solution on and the same with the rinse?

Really the carpet is not dirty it is damaged,  nothing you do while removing it will make more damage.... at the very least you will clean out the poo and delaminates the carpet but this a better situation that having  poo on the carpet.

They customers have a choice,  they can have crap on the carpet or risk the cleaning slightly damaging the carpet. Who knows you might rinse it out with zero harm to the carpet.

But to answer your question,  slowly rinse out the poo with a low psi hand tool but multiple passes

Call stain came out easy,turns out backing wasn't cardboard but lino. It was dark when I priced the job lol. The other stain on living room carpet blackcurrant juice wasn't so successful,enzyme followed by stain exit managed to reduce and fade it but couldn't remove totally. You can win em all.😉
