I need your kind help. Otherwise, i might lose $$$$ for no fault of mine.
I moved into my apartment 4.5 months back. My apartment carpet looked just fine when i moved in. The carpet is yellow-orange in color.
Some weeks later i moved in, i noticed that in some areas, the carpet had become lighter in color. I tended to ignore it for sometime and complained after 1.5 months of moving in. The apartment people did nothing. They told me that the previous owner had bleached the carpet and because of that this happened.
So after 2.5 months more (Now), more areas - in my room etc. started becoming lighter in color. Now the apartment people are saying that i am to blame for it as i used some cleaning liquid !!. They now say that the previous owner cannot have done it as the bleach effect gets seen in 2-3 hours. I complained the first time only after 1.5 months.
I have not used any bleach or coloring agent. I just vaccum clean my carpet. I stay in california. What can i do now?. Can someone point me a site where it explains what could have happenned?. What kind of chemical agent is this?. Some dye which has worn off ?. Please help.
As time goes by, more and more tiny areas of the carpet become lighter in color than the surrounding ones!
