my daughter poured comet bleach powder cleaner on carpet by accident will it bleach carpet when cleaned?

Question

My daughter accidentally spilled Comet bleach powder cleaner on the carpet. I vacuumed up as much as I could, and so far, there hasn't been any discoloration, even though it's in a high-traffic area outside the bathroom where we often walk with wet feet. However, I'm unsure if shampooing the carpet to manage my allergies might cause it to bleach or discolor. Could shampooing trigger a reaction with any remaining cleaner?

You are right that there is some risk to getting it thoroughly wet.   Vac it periodically, beat it with a broom  so the bleach either gets vacuumed up or sifts on through to the backing.    I think by the time you shampoo, any resulting bleaching will take place low in the carpet pile where you won&rsquo;t see it.  Good luck

Yes, and lots of them post here wondering how to get the “bleach stains” out of their carpets. It would be better to pre-treat the stains with a stain remover intended for carpet, and then use a carpet cleaner. Or better still, hire a professsional carpet cleaner to give it a thorough cleaning.

As long that you vacuum everything up and there is no water added for the moment you will be fine , wait a few days before using the shampooer  vacuum a few more times before just to make sure that you got every thing removed from the pile .

I would just vacuum it periodically, but would not use any water material just to prevent  the carpet from haveing a bleach stain.  Good Luck hope this helps.

I think it might.   If you have a really strong industrial vac, I’d use that first.
