This is generally caused by a sticky residue from a previous spill or spot. When we flush water through the carpet fibre to thoroughly clean it, sometimes there can be large deposits of residue and soiling hidden underneath your carpet backing. When evaporation occurs, moisture (and anything dirt or residue that is solubilised within that moisture) rises from the base of the carpet to the top (a process called ‘wicking’), before the water component evaporates leaving whatever else that was contained with it, remaining on the surface of the carpet. Sometimes this process can take days to be visible. While sometimes you might not even know what was spilt on that location as it could have even been done from a previous owner or tenant, and it has only become apparent when the carpet has now been properly cleaned and flushed. If you notice this within the first 7 days, please be sure to call us back within and we will be happy to return and retreat the area for FREE!!!
