I am fairly sure that it isn't mildew. Mold spores produce color that can be blotted. I have cleaned and then blotted and no color. Also no odor.

Also OUR carpet is not installed, it is a bound piece of carpeting with a backing applied and placed over wood floors. We had it made. (Two of them)

It was made in Ocala. It does release the stain with Spotshot, but it returns in about six weeks.
