I recently dropped a small spot of bleach on cream colored carpet. Is there any way to dye the carpet back? It is a spot about the size of a quarter.
You can dye the carpet back and that is the only way to fix bleach stains. I am not sure where you can buy carpet dye but it is not that hard. Dilute the dye with water in a spray bottle and spray the bleach spot and absorb with rag. Continue until desired colored is reached. It is not always perfect but works. Or you can call a local carpet cleaning company. They can do it and they charged me about 50 bucks too.
U can't restore color... but u have options. First u need to pull up as much of the bleach as u can. Bleach will eat up carpet not just remove color. Use a spot shampoo remover. Make sure spot is dry. Then go to the side corner of your closet, that u can't see and cut out a patch that is bigger than the one u want to remove. Cut out the organge spot. and glue back in the new carpet. U can secure with carpet nails. If ur unsure, go to carpet installer, they r usually great about teaching u how to fix most effective method. If u can put another rug over the spot then I do that. I wouldn't bother gluing in patch unless I was moving and u don't want to replace carpeting or be assess damages by landlord.
