Stains can come in a wide array of shapes and colors. While a majority of them come from random spills or drops, that is not always the case. Sometimes stains can come from the strangest of places. Today we look at one of those strange cases. In today’s version of stain removal Scottsdale, we look at a case where our client decided it was time to change the handmade area rug that was on her family room carpet.
Stain Removal Scottsdale – Before
This rug was a beautiful black Persian with floral patterns. It had been laying in this little used room for years. When she pulled it up, she found the oddest black outline of where the rug had been. After she had tried to vacuum it out with no success, she called us.
When we arrived, we identified the source of the discoloration to be from the dye on the serging of the rug. Some dyes will dry transfer from one fabric to another. We call this process crocking. In a case such as this, the best thing to do is to attempt a strong vacuum over the affected area.
