Shark upright owners - black marks on carpet
Hi guys
I’ve emailed Shark but wondering if anyone else had this problem & resolved it. My Shark has 3 times now left a black mark on my carpets. 1st time I thought it was oil off the wheels & couldn’t remove with various wet products inc. a rug doctor. This time we realise it’s a black powder similar to carbon & if wiping with a bit of kitchen towel it either removes it or disperses it so it can’t be seen. This technique also removed the original mark from months ago. Anyone else had this & been able to sort it? I’ve tried cleaning the m/c completely inc all filters I could find to no avail. Couple of pics of the mark attached. Cheers Edited at 01:08 PM. |

I can’t believe I’ve just clicked on this thread as yesterday we discovered a black line stain on our carpet...it’s underneath an area where we usually have a candle burning so we had assumed it was maybe soot from the candle (although couldn’t really understand how when it’s blown out in the opposite direction). We also have Shark upright hoover so I’m now wondering if it’s from that instead 🤷🏻
Let us know how you get on with Shark!

Thanks, I’ll give that a try! I had Googled it and tried bicarb soda as thought it was soot but that didn’t seem to do anything. Luckily it’s not that noticeable and is in a corner but I hadn’t even thought it might be from the hoover.

Haha, great minds I tried the bicarbonate too. Then a mix of I think water, fairy liquid & rubbing alcohol. Then sucked out with my rug doctor. Didn’t work.
Then 3 months later when we had the latest marks, tried rubbing the old mark with the kitchen roll and it worked. |
