I want to say dog hair oil but why isn't it dirty on the other side of the room or in that corner behind the door
What's your best guess on how this soiling developed, working for the new homeowner so I'm not getting any clues

There is a bathroom on the opposite corner but there's no foot lotion marks coming out of it and there was absolutely zero doggy dander or urine odor or all the typical signs that this was dog hair grease
foot lotion. They put it on sitting on the bed. Get up and look for clothes in the closet.
Or someone getting sweaty feet looking at their sheds.

From the looks of the cornrows they’ve had it pad cleaned previously and who ever did it probably used Simple Green.

We only have a ChemDry, no padders

@ this point, doesn’t matter. They want it clean.
Prespray W/ UPE, enzyme or equivalent, boost with oxy, scrub with board du jour, dwell, extract hot, slow passes, Make sure acid rinse is @ 2-3 GPH, slower dry passes, force dry, collect check, forget it happened, crack an IPA, soak in tub…
IDK, that’s what I’d do….

When something that looks that bad cleans with relative ease, its likely residue.
Add to that how the soil pattern appears to have a distinct clean/dirty borders. Between people who VLM with sticky shampoo products and HWE people who over apply and underextract all purpose degreasers, its a common occurance.

I’ve gained 5-6 bigger annual contacts chasing a local guy that does EXACTLY that…
We go in, clean up the mess W/ HWE, then sell them on proper VLM.
I want him to keep on doing exactly what he does.

There was another dude a city away that was using industrial engine degreaser on apartment and office buildings…
I knew he was, cause he left a 5 gallon pail in the janitor closet on a job….
I confirmed the product use by asking the sales guy at a local chemical manufacturer…
He would buy it in 55 gallon drums apparently.

530 stock uses 110° s
With a GG it needs 95°s

Do they have any black top outside their home? I've also seen this situation with workers who wear their work boots home from construction, refineries, etc. and then they rent the Rug Doctor and add a little extra product and maybe a dab of dish soap, peroxide, baking soda, and whatever else they read on the internet that is supposed to clean awesome, but only attracts soil and oil back 10 fold.

Did you see the room when it was being lived in furnished? It might've been clutter all over the floor protecting the carpet from getting soiled.
But back to the soiled area. I'm seeing a combination of funk and crushed fiber distorting the carpet, making it look dirtier, even after you cleaned it.
And if you shine a blacklight on it, you'll see all over the floor where laundry detergent with brighteners was used sometime long ago to fk it up even more

Probably the previous owner using a Rug Doctor and leaving a bunch of residue.
