That happened to me on my very first commercial job. It turned out that the former business at that location used carpet fresh on a regular basis for years with no professional cleaning (at least that's what I was told afterwards). I guess that was what came up. It wouldn't vacuum off & I had to rinse and let dry two extra times to get it acceptable. The good news is I've still got that account and never had that problem come up again.
