Help! I spilled bleach on my carpet!?
I spilled bleach on my light beige carpet. It is a VERY noticable spot and live in an apartment so I'm sure they won't be happy if I can't at least mask it somehow. Is there a way I can try to get it back to it's original color (or near)?

i can't bleach the entire apartment and i don't trust myself to cut it out (even though it's tempting). so i went and got some RIT dye and put it on but it reacted with the bleach or something now it's too dark. i guess i'll keep shampooing it until it's lighter unless anyone has any better ideas. thanks for the help.

I've been told you can use hair dye on carpet, if you could come close to the color. You know, the kind that isn't permanent or is a temporary rinse. then if the color is too dark, you can dilute it with water, and blot it up. repeat until it matches. I have never needed to do it, but a friend of mine did and her landlord never knew the difference.

Sorry but once bleach has been you have set the stain and nothing works over bleach.
My suggestion is to phone a carpet manufacturer and ask their advice. Good luck.

Invite a friend over, get him drunk, the next day tell him his vomit bleached your carpet and he needs to pay to have if repaired.
