Dump or sell a problematic viscose rug?

[Papa John]

A customer has abandoned a large white viscose rug and has already paid for the cleaning.
It still has a stain. Thinking of re-sizing, binding, and reselling.
Or is removing it from society the moral thing to do?

Maybe try a little Red Vanish instead of browning or peroxide treatments.

I use old rugs to kill weeds sometimes. Leave them down a couple weeks and the area is ready for planting or mulching.

No, Red Vanish reducing agent. Red varnish might be an option as well. When it dries, you can use it like a loading ramp.

Dump it. The construction of that rug will fail quickly (You can tear that rug by hand) and the buyer will be upset.
If you cut it you have to remove several rows of nap from the cut, latex the ends of the warp over the cut, and then finish the edge.)
