I will add the following to my first post on the subject. We cleaned the carpet the first time and the spots came back. The next time we had ours professional cleaned and the spots came back. This time the carpet will be removed and we will replace it with something other than carpet. This is a shame as we are part timers and the carpet has had very little usage. While I do not know the cause I will say I am pretty sure it is not from something being spilled on it as mentioned in a earlier post. At least not while we owned the home. I guess it is possible when the carpet was installed something was spilled on the padding. I am tempted to cut the spots out when removed and try to find a lab to send it in to be analyzed to determine what it really is. Not that it will do anything other than solve the mystery. There is too many houses including some neighbors that have had the same issue with no clear cause. Our carpet was a also a light beige color also as mentioned in a earlier post. We bought new and the house was built in 2009. The spots showed up after the warranty was up. I will say this has been one of only two small issues with the house. I would do it all again the same way. It is a great home with even greater neighbors.
