Bissell with bleach... I've seen it a million times.

They but a little bleach to help brighten, and the carpet was way over wet.

I bet 50 bucks I'm right...LOL

looks like a combination of pooling/shading + some bleached out stains and some sun damage and floresent light fading damage. and don't forget the amature spot & carpet cleaning over the years.

I would cast a high intensity lamp over it first and see if there isn't any huge shading issues here. I have seen it before.
Then if it is still brwoning under the light take a 30x microscope available fro The Source for under $20.00 and see what form of staining it is--i.e crystalline strucure, absorbed, colourloss,etc.
The areas around the baseboards are frequently wiped down by housekeeping using oddball chemicals. See where the colour loss occurs--at the tips, right down to the base etc.

Last time i saw capet like that it was the antifreeze that bleached the carpet after a pipe broke in an apartment. It leaked right out into the hallway by going right under the wall sill and stained the hall carpet. If this is not caused by that, then I suspect pooling would give a simular appearence.

It looks like it's been cleaned with a bissell, to save money.

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?
