TLDR That pale band along the bar front is rarely “just a dirty patch”.

TLDR A glow stick spill can leave more than a sticky patch on a carpet.

The same problem can come from bleach bottles, Vanish or Dr. Beckmann-style spotters, […]
“Will My Insurance Cover a Bleach Spot on the Carpet?”- The Excess Maths to Run Before You Claim (And Why Carpet Restoration Usually Beats Both the Claim and the Replacement)
