Question:

Bleach my carpet ???????????????????

Is there a way to bleach my carpet?Not to get a stain out or anything.But my carpet is a bache color, and I would like to make it white.Would putting bleach on it make it brighter?

Answer:

rent a carpet shampoo machine, mix a 10 -1 ration of water to bleach and give it a go, keep all windows open , then use a wet/dry vac to soak up any remaining water from the Carpet
Sorry, but the chances are it will either do nothing, or make a splotchy mess. The only way to really change the color of a carpet is to buy a new one. If you are willing to do this, why no try bleaching the existing one first. Mixing a spray bottle of 10 parts water to one part bleach would be a good start. But realistically you need a new carpet, and if you do that I wouldn't suggest white, you will never keep it clean. Hope this helps
It would make it a lighter color for sure, but the shade probably won't be very consistent. Think blue jeans that have had bleach splashed on them. You also wouldn't be able to use your house until it aired out with the windows open for a few days.
