No. It looks like the dye is striped with a water mark edge on some and a halo around the striping on others.

Could be a pesticide or some other chemical that bleached the colour. Halos are usually associated with bleaching or colour loss

Definitely bleaching in some spots. This one looks like repeated high pH cleaning

Did you look at the baseboards? Any signs of overspray as in pesticide application?

Overspray can be pre spray as well. Some people are pretty careless. We see it all the time

Just for grins and giggles I would do a demo area with encapsulation and pads. Cleaning the fibers and not overwetting to not create the wicking effect

Maids spillint toilet boil cleaner probably doesn't help either? The previouc cleaner used a ph of 14 to clean the border, didn't rinse very well and left it to keep on working everytime something got spilled on it?
