Bleach staining is one of the most common afflictions of carpets today. Regardless of extant misconceptions, the majority of carpet bleach stains are usually correctable! As long as there is viable fiber, color can be re-introduced.
Dyeing Bleached Area
If the fibers have not been degraded to the point of powdering, they can usually be redyed to blend into the entire carpet. Some believe that bleach destroys the dye sites of the fiber. This may be true to a degree. But to destroy all the sites would mean destroying the entire fiber. Nylon and wool, which constitute most carpets today, have dye sites throughout their entire construction. If there is any fiber at all, it is usually dyeable! Color correctability of these are based upon the individual situation. There are procedures that have applicability to all of these fibers--even polypropylene! However, feasibility of color correction is unique to each situation.
Often a question is asked as to the permanency of the correction. The material used is as permanent as in the original construction. The correctional dyes employed are the same dyes used by the mills. The only factor that can be a problem, is the completeness of the bleach neutralization process. All the bleach in the carpet must be neutralized! If it isn't, re-bleaching can occur. The amount of bleach and/or the newness of the bleach can be the determining factor as to the cost feasibility of correction.
The types of bleaches that cause the most problems are those containing chlorine. Usually, chlorine based household or swimming pool bleaches are the offenders. The peroxide bleaches, as in ache and other medications, are also a common problem
Replacing Bleached Area
Bleach stains or faded, discolored spots on your carpet cannot be fixed by cleaning. Usually, the only way to fix an unsightly bleach stain or other discoloration is to replace that portion of the carpet.
If you don't have any carpet remnants left from your carpet installation, you may be able to remove a large enough piece from an obscure area of carpet, such as the back corner of a closet. It is important that the carpet be a nearly exact match in order for the repair to look as seamless as possible.
