Bleach spots are a major problem when they occur on carpets. Bleach spots are not your typical stain that can be simply washed out. Bleach spots are there to stay and cannot be washed out or removed with any cleaning method. Bleach spots are considered a major terror when they occur. However, they are not permanent. Carpet Dye-Tech will share how bleach spots are repaired on carpets.
What Are Bleach Spots on Carpet?
First, to understand how bleach spots are repaired, let’s cover what bleach spots actually are. Bleach spots are not a stain. Instead it is the absence of color in the carpet. When a bleaching agent is exposed to the carpet, the dyes in the carpet are affected. The color is broken down inside the carpet, reducing the color until no pigment is left. Depending on how long the carpet was exposed to the bleaching and the amount, the bleaching effects can vary. In worst cases, all of the pigment is removed out of the carpet. In more mild cases, the carpet coloring will be altered or lighter in color. The coloration can change dramatically depending on composition of the dye and what primary colors are used.
Mysterious Bleach Stains (Spots) on Carpet?
There are a number of bleaching agents that can have a bleaching effect on carpets. Chlorine is a common chemical found in a number of household cleaners and in hygiene products. Bleach is another common chemical in home and commercial settings and it is used for sterilizing a number of surfaces. At times bleach spots occur as a result of a spill from a cleaner with bleach or chlorine. Some bleaching can occur when a wet towel soaked with chlorinated water is left on the floor for too long. Other times bleach spots can occur from foot creams. When you discover bleach spots you may feel like they are there to stay. However that is not the case.
Carpet Dye for Bleach Spots
Bleach spots can be removed or repaired with professional carpet dyeing services. As bleach spots are the breaking down or the absence of color in the carpet, to remove a bleach spot the color must be restored. Essentially, carpets that have lost their color due to bleaching needs to have the color put back into the carpet. A professional carpet dye technician can restore the color and match it perfectly with the rest of the carpet’s colors. The first step in removing a bleach spot is to determine if the spot will require more bleaching. If some pigment remains in the carpet, the carpet dye technician will finish the bleaching. By removing all of the pigment in the carpet, it makes it easier to restore the carpet back to its proper coloring. If bleaching is needed, that is often the first step. If it is not needed, the carpet dye technician will clean the bleach site. Once the site is clean, the dyeing process can begin. A technician will recreate the carpet dye formula and then slowly add the dye in the carpet.
