Camelotshadow,
Is it possible the former occupants used capture to clean the carpet?
When I first moved into my house last summer I was pulling piles of fine gray powder out of the carpet with my Kirby. I mean bags full. I couldn't figure out what it was until the guy from Service Master told me he thought it was capture that was deep in the pile of the carpet.
I don't know much about capture, or how hard it is to suck up but this may be a possible explination to your powder mystery.
Interesting, I am concerned what the heck is in there. I can smell a sort of vinegar smell when wet. I'm thinking its not good!
I don't know what capture is? I was told there was a flood here before I moved in at one time & they let it dry. Could be fine particles of wool padding?
I used to sprinkle carpet fresh at one time but haven't in long time as its not good for the bird. Cockatiels make a powder but hard to think how a 3 ounce bird could make a pound a powder
