weird carpet stain
Anyone have any luck getting a presumably coffee stain out of white
Berber carpet? (yeah, I know...) bought myself one of those carpet cleaning doomajiggers after I got my bonus check, and tried it out on a section of the carpet that'd been stained when I had a little incident with leaving for a couple days right when the T/P valve on my water heater decided to start leaking. That part came up perfect, amazingly enough, so I decided to try to actually get this carpet looking decent rather than go straight to "rip it up and start scraping up the ****ty tile underneath" like I'd planned. So I have this coffee-colored stain in one corner of the room. Small, but it's a stain nonetheless. I figured it wasn't going to come up but I ran the carpet cleaner over it and it disappeared. Set up fan to blow over area. Next day, it's back. Tried a vinegar solution, it disappeared again, ran the carpet cleaner over it, set up fan. Next day, it's back. Tried a bleach solution. Ran carpet cleaner over it. It's drying now, but based on previous experience, I'm guessing it will show up again once it's dry. Any ideas? Also, how can a brown stain on white carpet disappear seemingly as soon as water hits it, but come right back again once it's dry? nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |
