50 year old wool with some yellowing from old water damage

February 12 2006 at 4:13 PM		 Tony  
Have any of you had experience with encapping old wool (50 year old) installed carpet with yellowing due to water damage? it is in one traffic lane only anout 4 x 12 the rest is fine.

I realize there may be some underlying rotting since it was not professionally dried but what cautions would you suggest.


I have cleaned many wools before just not in this condition

No one lives in this house it is the custys parents house built in 1933 and I told him that I seriously doubt that the yellowing would come out and I am concerned about a weakened state of the carpet.

Good grief, everything has a life expectency, 50 years! and not dryed correctly, I would not want to see what that pad would look like. If you clean it, you better be gentle. I would want that in writing also, good luck.
