found this on my computer, this happened 24hrs after I cleaned it, pretty scary!!

this was the only time I had to claim on my insurance, now I know how to correct it.

Sodium Bicarb?

[carpet guy]

Can you tell us how and why it happend and what process you went through to resolve it? cheers klinger.

[Mike Halliday]

Klinger, the green dye used on this fabric is sensitive to low Ph, when sprayed with a low PH chemical ( eg Fabric & fibre rinse) it turns the fabric red.

to correct this you have to use a high PH solution which immediately reverses the discoloration. on this suite I tried Ammonia which did get rid off the redness but it returned.

some say Bicarb will solve the problem

I had the same problem with the same fabric some years ago. I cleaned with Ultimate Master, which reduces to neutral during the drying process. In my case, some reddish patches appeared in the week following, these increased in numbers and severity over the next 5 months, when the custy called me back to have a look.
Mist sprayed with Sodium Bicarb, lightly brushed in, and the fabric returned to its normal colour within minutes, then left it to dry - no further problems - until its cleaned again, that is.

It's a good way of getting to return to your customers though Dave?
