Hi Guys

I really need some help with this one...

I cleaned a office the last week, and after cleaning a HUGE stain appeared that was not there before, so I came back and tried to clean it again a few times.

This weekend they had me clean their conference room, but being wary of the carpet, I only used water, no detergents, no solutions, plain old water.

Initially the carpet look great, but I went there again today, and the whole room has huge stains....this carpet seems to really good, its like new, and less than 8 months old.

Now the company are having someone else clean the carpets, and if the stains do not come out I will have to have them replaced....ANY IDEAS GUYS...WHAT CAN BE CAUSING THIS??

I really appreciate your help

Many Thanks

Bub

Sounds like overwetting and wicking to me. What process and equipment did you use?

Thanks Cmaster

I used a bonnet , with water...but because of the previous stains, I was very careful not to over wet....The carpet has no pile, is of a commercial grade, and when I left it felt nearly dry, with no stains.

The carpet is manufactured by shaw industries, and is 100% nylon, with a stain protection at time of manufacture.

It has a commercial grade felt backing,.

Hope this helps guys....NEVER seen this happen before!

It did feel

GO back and try to Encap it with either a OP machine or a Cimex and see how it turns out.

Good luck.

Thanks Thang

I suggested that to the client, but she is worried that things will get worse, which I understand.

Looks like I will have to bite this one, she is a member of my bNI group, so I need things to be as smoothe as possible.

Did you use extraction the first time you cleaned it or bonnet? Why no detergent?

I used the bonnet, and no detergent when I cleaned the second room, the first area was done with bonnet, and detergent, but then the stain came up.

I suspected that there was an issue, so the second time I used a bonnet with just water???

If the carpet is only 8 months old and was not dirty to begin with, it sounds like you overwet it. Reclean with low moisture and dry with air movers

SOmething is wrong here, are you SURE it is nylon only?

Water doesn't stain nylon, there is something else going on here, wish you could post pictures here BEFORE you pay for anything.
