How do I cover a bleached spot on a wool carpet?

you can try using some dye but watered down

Cut out a square shape around the stain. Cut the same size square from the closet carpet. Swap the squares.

Do you have any left over carpet to patch? That area is pretty much ruined. The contractor should have insurance to fix it or replace.

I put a decorative throw rug over the area.

I didnt have a WOOL rug but I did have a spill of paint on a rug in one of my rentals... In trying to clean it up with paint thinner, then water and a cloth, I noticed that the rug looked even better.... It was faded and the paint color washed down blended it together beautifully... You might want to try a very tiny spot first...

Call the contractor he did it to begin with.

The contractor is responsible. You can patch with another piece as this may be the only way to get rid of the spot. If you do patch be sure the grain goes the same way.

First try and determine what was spilled. That could be key to a solution. Next do you have a scrap of the carpet anywhere to experiment on? It is hard to tell from the pictures if it is shadow or the carpet needs a deep clean. For a deep clean use only water. No soap at this point. See if that lessens the spot. It could be only dust dirt wicking up from underneath the carpet and pad.

Folex Instant Carpet cleaner is the best all around cleaner. Spray and dab towards the center following instructions. May have to do several times.

*Last resort: If all else fails mix a weak solution of what the agent was and lightly mist out. If the carpet is ruined beyond hope this might make it more blended until you can replace it.

I have a similar problem. Not wool carpet, but thick plush. Bought home with spots right in the middle where previous owner tried to clean spots with bleach. Left yellowish spots in dark brown carpet. Can't afford to replace so placed large chair over spots. Not sure how to fix. Would love suggestions also.

If not a large spot you can try this; cut out just the yarn threads that are damaged, and glue in some threads cut from another spot in an inconspicuous place. Use a super glue for fabrics. My husband used to do this for cars that had burn holes and stains in cars. Not really noticeable if done carefully.

Given the cost of wool carpeting, you should definitely contact your contractor for remediation.

I don’t want to seem rude. Possibly the problem isn’t that bad. Maybe now you have a very clean spot on a relatively dirty carpet. I would suggest cleaning the entire carpet and then assessing how bad the damage really is.

I agree. Clean first, reassess, then contact the contractor if still noticeable.

This is not actually a stain that you can 'get out'. You removed the color from the carpet. You only really have a couple of options. If you have some scraps of the carpet left:

1. Try to create a stain that will match it. Try coffee, tea, Rit dye, face powder, cinnamon, ginger or something else. Try it on a scrap before you try it on your carpet!

2. If you can not stain it, replace it with a piece of the scrap. This should only be undertaken by a professional or after you have practiced it with old carpet!

3. Stain your entire carpet with bleach to match.

4. Learn to live with it.

Good luck
