I tried to 'deep clean' my couch with way too much water and detergent, and ended up with a damp, weird-smelling sofa for 3 days. I had to keep windows open and sit on towels like a clown. It looked clean at first, then the smell hit later.

What’s something that totally backfired or made things worse instead of better?

I understand the high level pitch but I want to understand what is actually happening at the architecture level, where each approach sits in the mail flow, what each one can and cannot see, and why that matters for detection. Trying to get my head around this properly before an evaluation I'm helping with at work.
