OOPs! I spilled some bleach on a carpet... small bleach spots. Any cure for this? Other than buying a new one?

Answer 1

Rit dye.  Hopefully the carpet is a solid-color.

Answer 2

Color is gone.  Matching with Rit Dye would be a miracle.  Instead go to the closet where the carpet is not seen and cut patches.  Exchange the booboo for the patches from the closet.  Use double sided carpet tape to hold down the patches.......some stuff the carpet installers used when the put your carpet in.

Answer 3

You are out of luck. My aunt did that and to this day, they are still there on her carpet.

Answer 4

You might try dying the carpet back- Though that would be tricky.

Another thing you could try is cutting out the effected piece and replacing it with a square of matching carpet. The people that you bought your carpet from should be able to help you.

Good luck!

Answer 5

no other option but buying a new one, bleach is really strong...sorry

Answer 6

Try coloring it in with markers.  Worked for me.

Answer 7

There is nothing you can use that's going to restore the rug after you got bleach on it. Those spots will remain.

Answer 8

you could bleach the whole carpet

Answer 9

Throw rugs or move the furniture.  You might be able to camoflage it with some ritz dye dabbed on the light spots, but it would be hard to get a good match.

Answer 10

umm a rug? thats what I did to my room...an area rug

Answer 11

You could try nail polish or small spots of dye or something the same color as the carpet, other than that, I don't think there is anything

Answer 12

nope  try to stain it a similar color but most likely you are out of luck

Answer 13

If you have any excess carpet or a peice from the closet a carpet installer could cut out the damaged area & seam in a new peice.

Some carpet co's also can dye it back
