if you leave it to long the colour of the paper will transfer to the carpet? ------------- Just My opinion |

I use distilled water and a PH pen. Why don't you read the instructions on the box? Next you will want to know if you should start the portable before or after you put the water in? ------------- Just My opinion |

Suggest you dampen the carpet that has the concern in more than one place and apply pressure with the pH paper to get a reading.
P.S.
Don't use your finger or thumb. You could get a reading of yourself with the applied pressure. ------------- Kleen Kuip Supply Mart Inc. http://www.kleenkuip.com - New & Used Professional Carpet Cleaning Machines, Restoration Equipment, Training, Service and Supplies |

No, but the light it throws off helps you see the color of the pH paper better, eh? ------------- Inventor of Teflon Carpet Wand Glides.Free Glides for all Cleaners in June! |
