I spilled bleach on my brown carpet...how can I fix it? Is there such thing as carpet dye?

Answer 1

there is carpet dye and it will not work. You will never get a good enough color match.

There may be more of the carpet where you first got it if it is new.

If there is a leftover bit that is bigger than the bleach stain, you can cut the stained bit out and use double sided tape to set the patch in to place.

Other sources for patch carpet can be from a closet floor, or from under a sofa that is never moved.

If none of those is a source, consider cutting out a big piece in mid room and inserting a contrasting piece of carpet, then use the cut out bit for patch material.

Procedure:
Measure the size of the stain and cut the patch
place the patch on top of the stain, nailing down through to keep it from moving.
Use the patch as the cutting guide for removing the stained piece.
remove nails
remove patch and remove stained piece.
According to the way the carpet was layed (glued down or floating)
if glued, trial fit, then glue in the patch, making any grain follows in the right direction.

If floating, use carpet tape under the edges of the main carpet with the sticky side up, and overlapping the opening then drop the patch in to complete the repair. Some tapes are thermal setting, and you might be able to rent a tool for the job.
It would be a good idea to ask a carpet layer to do this for you if the stain is in an improtant place in an expensive carpet.

Answer 2

yes there is such a thing and its easy to use. comes in spray can .
i got mine at a shoe repair shop .
what i did was take some of the carpet from the closet and fix the spot in the main floor with that used some glue to hold it down then put the stained bit in the closet and dyed it .
after a few years i cleaned the entire carpet really well steam clean and bought more of that dye and did the hole carpet looked like new . cant remember what the spray can cost but it was really cheap. oh you do need to know what your carpet is made of before you do this

Answer 3

you will could patch that spot with an identical shade as your unique carpet with the aid of fact what occurs over the years is the carpet will certainly commence coming off do to the chlorine interior the bleach. We had an identical concern and had to repair the carpet with yet another piece that became an identical shade. purely decrease out somewhat the size needed in a community like a closet that is no longer considerable and decrease out the section the place the bleach spilt and placed the hot one down with carpet adhesive.

Answer 4

Yes, there is. My landloard had to use it on my carpet when I moved out and the same thing had happened with the bleach. Just call a carpet cleaner comapny and they can do it for you, I really don't know if you can buy the stuff they use over the counter.

Answer 5

That happened to my Mother in Law on her gray carpet. I bought some fabric dye and blended the colour back into the carpet.
It turned out great.

Answer 6

Yes, there is a dye. Go to your nearest carpet store. They'll have some surprises for you there.

Oh, that is a nasty problem. Yes, there is dye for carpeting, but you have to use it very carefully to get a match... Good luck with it.
