    White powdery residue in carpet after extraction?

    Ok, so i was detailing a 2011 Silverado recently that another "detailer" had gone over a few weeks prior.

    The truck was a disgusting mess, seats and carpet were filthy, and ontop of that were covered with black fabric dye. Talk about a hack job White powdery residue in carpet after extraction?

    I pre treated the entire vehicle, gave it a thorough hot water extraction, and i thought all was well.

    Then the next day after it had dried up a bit i found it like this. Carpet was caked with a white powdery substance. I suspect it was probably some kind of carpet powder like glade or arm & hammer.

    After lots of brushing and a good vacuuming i finally removed all the powder. Has anyone else ever encountered this type of problem? What is the best way to remove the residue?

    could be baking soda residue if they spilled something.
