How To Get Bleach Out Of Carpet

How To Get Bleach Out of Carpet?
Daily, we get calls from our customers frantic because they spilled bleach on the carpet. 
After they spill the bleach or use a product that had bleach in it to clean up a different spot; they attempt to cover up their tracks, in hopes to find something to fix the problem.
Little do they know, there is nothing over the counter that can fix this problem.  And applying over the counter products or home remedies will create a problem for the professionals.
What to do:
Leave the spot alone and call a professional service that specializes in carpet spot dye repair.  Google "carpet dyeing".
How the Professionals Fix it!
1.)  We apply a product on the bleach which neutralizes it or de activates the bleach.
2.)  We add the colors that are missing back to the carpet.  Color theory plays a role in this process.  For example, Several colors make up a beige carpet.  Usually when a household bleach product is spilled on a beige carpet a "yellow" halo remains.  We add the missing colors back to the yellow halo to achieve the desired color that matches with the remaining carpet.
Some Solutions Customers have put on their bleach spills:
  • Water
  • Rit Dye
  • Soap Solution
