There is a large neon green stain (about 2 ft x 2ft) under my chair mat in my bedroom. It wasn't there before putting the chair mat down. I've had the chair mat there for about 7 months and the stain is probably about 1-2 months old. I have not spilled anything on that location. The carpet isn't wet anywhere else other than in that location. As of right now there is 48% indoor humidity in this room. How can I clean this.

High humidity could be causing mold or mildew. Suggest getting a professional to survey. Carpet textiles cannot be disinfected But, they can be sanitized. I would also suggest not covering your carpet with a chair mat with the high humidity that you are experiencing.

What is the difference between disinfecting and sanitizing?

Know the Difference.

Cleaning removes dust, debris and dirt from a surface by scrubbing, washing and rinsing.
Sanitizing reduces the bacteria identified on the product’s label on surfaces and in laundry.
Disinfecting destroys or inactivates both the bacteria and viruses identified on the product’s label (like influenza and rhinovirus) on hard, nonporous surfaces.
