TLDR
Supermarket “Oxi” cleaners can cause permanent colour loss, especially on wool and nylon carpets. Bleach spots cannot be cleaned away because the colour has been stripped from the fibres. Professional carpet restoration, carpet dyeing, and bleach spot repair from BD365 Carpet Colour Solutions can restore the original appearance without replacing the carpet.
Frequently Asked Questions
We receive many calls from concerned homeowners who have tried to fix a small stain only to create a larger problem. Here are some common queries regarding DIY damage.
Can a bleach spot be cleaned out?
No. A bleach spot is a permanent loss of colour, not a stain. Cleaning only removes dirt. Restoration requires the professional re-introduction of pigment.
Is Dr. Beckmann’s safe for wool carpets?
Many "Oxi" products are too aggressive for natural wool fibres. Wool is sensitive to high pH levels and oxidising agents, which can lead to "yellowing" or colour stripping.
How long does the restoration last?
Our dyes are permanent and colour-fast. Once we restore the colour, it is as durable as the original carpet dye. You can continue to clean the carpet as normal.
Does the dye rub off on socks?
No. Once the dyeing process is complete and the carpet is dry, the colour is permanently bonded to the fibres. It will not transfer to clothing, pets, or furniture.
How much does bleach spot repair cost?
Costs vary depending on the size and number of spots. However, it is significantly cheaper than replacing a whole room of carpet. Contact us for a bespoke quote.
