How Do You Remove Bleach Spots From Carpeting?
Spills happen during the daily laundry dash, especially when kids get into the washing machine action. And bleach, that must-have for truly white whites, makes for a fierce stain. You can, however, banish such blights from your carpet if you act quickly. Step 1 Wear rubber or latex gloves. Blot the excess bleach with a white absorbent cloth or paper towel. Step 2 Blot-rinse with water. Step 3 Gently blot detergent solution of 1/4 tsp. mild dishwashing liquid and 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) warm water onto the stain, using a clean cloth or paper towel. Work from the stain’s outside edge to the center. Step 4 Let the detergent sit for at least 5 minutes. Step 5 Repeat blotting with a clean white cloth until no more of the bleach transfers to the cloth and the bleach smell is nearly gone. Step 6 Rinse thoroughly with cold water.
