    Many of my customers are surprised to learn that we can perform bleach
    stain repair on their carpet. Our process works on all color loss
    situations.

    [IMG]

    The system will restore color for bleach stains, acne medications, chlorine, or cleaners that have removed color from your carpet. It will even work for sun fading!

    Unlike other methods , there is no need to mix or match dyes, In Fact no color theory or color charts are used. We use a simple process and procedure that restores only the lost ratio of missing carpet dyes.

    With our system there is less of a chance in getting the wrong shade or
    color. At any step in the procedure the outcome is always closer to the
    original color. Almost all of my bleach stain repair customers are unable to pinpoint where the bleach stain was, once I finish the job. I am often asked many questions about the process of removing bleach stains. Here are some of the most often asked questions and my response to them:

    Q. Will you ruin my carpet by dyeing too dark or getting the wrong
    shade or color?

    A. The worst case scenario outcome is always closer to the original
    shade or color.

    Q. I thought that bleach stains could not be dyed as the fibers are
    destroyed.

    A. There are only few cases that can't be dyed, besides there are many
    other substances that remove color without harming fibers. Most cases
    can be dyed using A bleach neutralizer and adjusting the pH.

    Q. Will the dye hold, or it will come out when my carpets are cleaned?

    A. The only way to remove dye is to bleach the carpet again.

    Q. Can multi colored carpets be color repaired?.

    A. Actually these types of carpets are less difficult to repair.
    Bleach stains can be covered up easier.

    Q. Can animal stains caused by urine be repaired?

    A. Absolutely! Often times it is just a matter of restoring the P.H.
    and adding a little dye. Urine in time will shift to form ammonia, which
    will cause a partial bleach stain. The color shifts to a yellow orange as
    some of the primary colors are missing.

    If you have any questions concerning bleach stain repair or if you need
    a spot treated, please call us and we we will be happy to be of
    assistance!

    Another little secret is get a large pack of Crayola Crayons and color it like in school. It will last until the next cleaning!

    Bleach stains are not "stains" they are color removal. Before they can be dyed you must netralize the bleach. (the dried bleach will reactive when you add water and rebleach the new dye) Adjust the ph so the fibre can accept the dye and replace the missing color or colors. All colors are made up of the 3 primary colors yellow, red and blue. Browns are mixtures of all three. So if you have a brown carpet with an orange spot the missing color is blue.....yellow spot the missing colors are blue and red....... One of the biggest mistakes cleaners make when dyeing carpet is trying to adjust the color in the dye bath by sight (what you see is not what you get). Dye is not paint so you cann't just put on a thick coat and cover over the spot. Make a very light dye bath and layer the colors on.

    Got one of those bleach stain repair kits; tried it; worked great; been doing it ever since just as above. I use mill dyes for year in the same manner; the kit I bought works great.

    Is is just me or does anybody else just spot patch the carpet? I just trade the bleach stained area with a piece of carpet from the closet. No body cares if the closet has a bleach stain on the carpet. Now the problem area looks great with a fresh piece of carpet and nobody can tell.

    Customers love it

    Lars, I usually fix bleach stains with a BI as well. It is easier, more accurate, and takes less time.
    Switching carpet from closet is great, my apprentice just performed his first "switch" BI Friday. I consider this to be an advanced repair.

    How many people use those carpet dye sticks? I saw the video and it looks very intersting. I have a Prizim carpet dye set that I have pretty much given up on cuz the results were so hit or miss, especially with larger spots and it took too long to go through the process to make it worth while anyway.
