could it be a pink blotter
the type used in bingo halls?
i did one on sat for a guy, who had rented his house out
i had great success, with red rx but be careful to blot not rub, does take a while
but out it came check to see if it is soluable ;)

With Van on this one. Red RX using iron/nappy. If its in bathroom then probably bubble bath and unlikely to move

Could also be a bleach mark,,they come in various shades of different colours i've found over the years. The location is normally a clue, near sinks or bathrooms.

Obviously no cure if that is the case.

This could be anything.
I always tell custy there is no guarantee for an unknown stain.

If say, it's food colouring, jelly etc and it's wool.....it could have dyed the carpet permanently.

Thanks for the invoices hopefully another string to my bow, :-X ;)

What you sore were a small selection, are tempted at garages sale, or I may go down the hire route.
