Did a customer today who had a treatment room in her house that I think she uses as a salon/beauty/tanning treatment home based business.
Anyway cleaning that particular room today and the carpet started coming up in red/pink blotches, for want of a better phrase, as I was cleaning it! (picture attached, not great but you can see it)
But only the open areas, i.e. she had 2 thick large rugs under the treatment table, this area was not affected.
I told her I believe that there is remanents of tanning products or other beauty treatment products in the carpet and it is either wicking up or reacting to the cleaning solutions (M power).
I went over it again but it was still the same. Tried other products and spotters and put the blower on it while cleaning other rooms, but no change.
I carried on cleaning other areas and came back to it again at the end. I spray misted with an alkaline spotter mixed with water and put the blower on it.
After spending 10-15 minutes packing away in the bright sunshine I went to get my blower but couldn't see the red/pink anymore, not sure if I was suffering a bit of sun blindness or if it did the trick.
Told her it appears to have gone but if need be will go over it again on my next visit, as it is a big job so I have to go back again to finish anayway.
I would like to have an answer for her.
Does it sound like it could be what I have written above?
If it hasn't worked what would be best to try next?
Thanks Paul
