I've cleaned carpets for 35+ years now, I've never seen damage like this before. I thought it was probably sun damage being in front of the patio door. But the damage is only by the heat vent. The other patio door next to this one the carpet is normal. I thought maybe water got under it and damaged it, new owner said the floor had no damage. A dog scratching the carpet would fray it and also damage the backing. It's almost similar to toilet bowl acid damage, but wouldn't make sense in front of the door. I can only figure it must be sun damage, idk

Why would sun damage only effect the first three inches of carpet. Being close to the door frame has to have something to do with it and moisture would surely be a safe guess right? curtains closed the rest of the room doesn't get that intense sun it all seems to stop at the curtain / blind line.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Maybe the sun is magnified through the window at certain times of day/angle? Or green house effect when a curtain is closed and register is pumping heat behind curtain as well? Probably what happened, it sure is crazy

I know some that urinate in them catch basins,,,,,,,,, My machine didn't find any pet hair, I'm guessing the last owners had no pets. I did a rental one day, I told her my machine found a lot of pet hair, she said she lived there five years and no pet. Goes to show there wasn't a good vacuum used in those five years Also no yellow spots or odor, pretty sure there were no pets there

Maybe somebody was staining or varnishing the wood or even removing varnish and split something on it ? My eyes ain't much but looks like light spots on wood as well. Ya I think sun damage on the varnish wood, no varnish on the carpet, it would still be there

Maybe just wear and tear from walking in and out the door. Standing with half their foot on the wood frame and the other half on the carpet, could be putting more weight on the carpet and kind of twisting their foot going in and out the door? Is that a sliding door? If it is, people like to only open them half way to go in and out and walk through the door sideways. Possibly putting more wear on the carpet in that spot.
Or they have something corrosive like salt on their steps and it’s eating away the carpet.
Cold as ice!

I have seen carpet beetle damage like that before. Further inspection should reveal any further active beetle infestation. Bobby J is smart.
