Default Bleach Stains on Carpets

No one wants to contend with this kind of mess. Spilling bleach on a carpet practically ruins the carpet. At least that is what I thought at one time.

I allowed a friend to wash her laundry at my place until she could afford a washer and dryer. Well while she was carrying her things in she knocked over a container of bleach and of course it removed all the color from my carpet where it hit.

I was serioulsy upset about this, because I could not afford to replace the carpeting. This was back when my washer and dryer were in the hallway, so this was a mess that anyone would easily see.

I discovered the carpet dye sticks and figured what the hell it cant get any worse. They worked like a charm and were easy to use.

I wanted to share this information with everyone because these kinds of accidents happen and it is hard to afford things like carpeting. If this happens to anyone here hopefully you will give these sticks a whirl to save yourself some time, money, headache and ordeal of trying to hide a bleach mark on your carpet with furniture.

Thanks so much for that very informative video. That would definitely be a life saver for your carpet when one of those unforeseen accidents happen.

The man that was doing the video was very informative in telling just how to do this job to get the best results, and I was very surprised to see just how well the end result turned out.

Now, the question is, do you know where to buy these carpet dye sticks at? Do you get them at a carpet store or would they have something like this just about anywhere?

These carpet dye sticks are sold at a variety of stores, and for even easier shopping you can purchase these sticks online at several different places as well.

Of course the prices vary depending on where you are shopping so shop around and find yourself the very best of deals if this is something that your looking into getting.

I bought mine at Target, though I don't know if they still carry them or not. I imagine they still do because that only happened a year and a half ago. Wal-mart may also carry them as well though I have never searched for them there, and I would imagine that carpet stores as well as places like Lowe's would also carry them as well.
