Water damage spots! How to handle them?

[Lounge Lizards]

Bernd, what is the carpet fiber and what is the backing??

Water spots generally appear on carpet that has a jute backing.

Most carpets in the USA have what is called Action-Back, for simplicity, this is plastic.

In Australia, most carpets have a jute backing, made from natural plant fibers.

When the jute is over-wet, the jute staining wicks to the surface of the carpet pile.

Usually it looks like a "high tide" mark on the carpet.

Hydrox, as explained will remove this.

Synthetic carpet will improve very easily in the manner described.

Wool carpet may need a second application, although if they are only spots, I think it will also come out easily, just be a little lighter with the ratio mix.  

Hope this helps.



OOPS, I forgot, I put my product through my Cimex, but it would not hurt to do it your way.

Mixing the product with hot water, or the friction of your CRB, will also accelerate the process.
