My grand-daughter spilt detergent on my carpet and bleached it out
#1
That little toot grabbed the kitchen dishsoap, ran into the den with it, my daughter (her mother)saw her and jumped up to get it away from her as she was holding it upside down. Sophie saw her mom jump up and thought the chasing game was starting and she did a little jig and took off with it spilling out. It was a liquid dishsoap and my daughter cleaned it up and went to do something else. She called me later crying because when she went back in there she saw it had bleached out my carpet! grrr! So....I'm going to try to dye it with a clothing dye, does anyone know how to set the dye so it won't bleed next time I shampoo the carpet?

The guy that did some work on our fireplace bleached the carpet in my sewing room. I call the people who laid the carpet and they replaced just that part. You can't even see where it is. Since we didn't have any carpet left they took it out of a closet.

I used the professionals (I got a reference from the company that put in the carpet) to come out and dye a few bleach spots in my new carpet. The work was fantastic and colorfast after a few hours. The job was a perfect match and it was quite inexpensive. I wouldn't attempt it myself. They had about five different bottles of spray dye and they just kept going over the spots mixing the the different bottles, it was kind of neat to watch and nine years later it is still good as new. Until that day, I had no idea it was even a possibility.
