Friction burn?

[Bryce C]

Is this most likely friction burn I've read about that can happen on olefin carpet? The the fibers look semi melted together, didn't budge with cleaning attempts as expected after inspection, and the fibers in the affected area feel stiff.

Friction burns are typically drag marks I believe. That's probably from a spill that melted it maybe something hot was set on it. Somebodies personal heater under a desk?

Ah that makes sense. Yea I suppose drag marks of some sort would be evident. Thanks!

You can friction burn olefin simply by dragging a desk over it. It’s got an exceptionally low melting point…

Heck, you could friction burn it by scuffing your shoe hard enough.

Don't heel your newly acquired 175 scrubber on it as well.. Make sure it's well lubricated..

I’ve had people try to melt wax out of carpet with hair dryers. That’s what it looks like to me.
