I have the same problem. My home is located in St. James. There is a spot on the carpet that originally appeared approx. a month after we purchased our (new) home. Thought originally it may have been caused by our Chihuahua although questioned that as I would have noticed (felt) where it is located. My Chihuahua has had an accident on another part of the carpet and that I removed with no problem. This one is different. It is also growing in diameter. I first used club soda, then a carpet cleaner I had from a professional cleaner, then Spot-shot which has actually worked the best. After I spray it, you won't see it for about a month or more but then it comes back. I figured I will most likely replace the carpet in a few years so why get crazy over it but truth be told, it does drive me a little crazy when I start to see it again.
And...let me add, when our home was being built, we came in just about every night and cleaned up from the workers. Our neighbors used to laugh at us as we brought all our cleaning items including my husbands blower. So we know the concrete floor was clean.
(Okay, so now you all know we have OCD)
