You okorder
i do not think there is any way to get it out but she could put a char over it or a coffee table if she has a coffee table get one of though carpets that u can move and then put the table over it.
It's beyond repair. It would need re-dyeing back to the original color. Bleach was the worst thing she coulda used.
Not sure maybe some frebreeze. Or alittle vinegar and water in a bowl, it takes out smoke smells in a room. Or try a box of freezer baking soda, just put a box in your closet for a couple of days. Hope it helps
Once something is bleached the color is removed permanently. If you happen to have some leftover pieces from the installed carpet you could cut the damaged part of carpet out with a carpet knife and insert a matching piece of carpet in it's place. Other than that you could possibly try to re-stain it with some fabric dye, but it's very hard to find/create an exact match. There are also fabric markers available that could possibly be used to re-color the stain, but honestly I think she needs to fess up to the mishap.
