Hi folks,
Called out by a Window Company yesterday, to a coffee spillage they had caused in a clients house.
Axminster carpet plain beige/oatmeal colour apparently 100% wool. They had damaged the pile by rubbing,(par for the course), but I rinsed the area large enough to cover all the spots with plain water & Solution 3 sprayed lightly on to the stains. Finished with mist of acid rinse over whole cleaned area.
Went back today to check result for window firm. Coffee stain barely visible , but whole area of carpet I had wetted now appeared to be a darker shade, although seemed to be bone dry !
Has anyone any thoughts as to why this should be ? as I have not had this problem before! Perhaps cleaning the complete carpet would cause a blending in. But a shade darker ? Seems odd !
It may not matter because I guess the carpet will have to be replaced due to pile damage, but I am still curious !
