New carpet blues
Our new wool cream carpet is luvverly, but every time we try and remove
a mark, even using water alone, we are left with a lighter patch of carpet. 1001 carpet cleaner has the same effect. The manufacturer sent an 'independent' assessor to do a report, but the retailer tells me that he conluded that there was no manufacturing fault. I'll know more when I have sight of the report. Anyone had similar problems? |

Anyone had similar problems? If pure water is removing the dye, then it is a manufacturing fault. Either the wool had not been through mordant or it has not been fixed properly. |

Or the sheep were dirty before they were sheared for your carpet. |
