Bleach on beige carpet, color redyed.
How we do it
Dyeing & Color Repair, by an expert technician.
Bleach, benzoyl peroxide acne cream, carpet stain removal products and some pet urine do the same thing: they strip the color out of the fiber. No amount of cleaning brings it back, because there is nothing to clean. The color has to be put back.
This is the work most cleaners will not touch. When a spot has lost its color, we mix dye on site to match the surrounding carpet and restore it by hand. Done properly, the correction blends into the carpet around it.
It is almost always cheaper than replacing a room of carpet.
Step by step
What happens on the visit.
-
01
Assess the fiber
Nylon and wool are dyeable. Polyester and olefin mostly do not. We confirm what you have before promising a result.
-
02
Match the color
Dye is mixed on site against the surrounding carpet, in your light, not from a chart.
-
03
Apply by hand
The cause of color loss is neutralized, then the dye is worked into the affected fibers and blended.
-
04
Set and check
The spot is set, groomed and checked from standing height and from the floor. We also leave you a spot out bottle for unforeseen touch-ups, and we refill it for free the next time we're out.

Honest pricing
Quoted for your job, before we show up.
Dye repairs are quoted by phone or from a photo. Most spots cost far less than replacing the carpet in that room. Real ranges, not teaser rates. Call and a real person gives you an honest price before we ever show up, not a surprise when the technician is already in your driveway.

What customers say about our dyeing & color repair work.
“Langenwalter is the Best! I have used their carpet cleaning services for years and have always been very pleased. Steve cleaned my carpets today and dyed an area where bleach had removed the color. He did an amazingly awesome job bringing the carpet back to normal! I cannot recommend Langenwalter enough!!!”
Google review
“…fix some spots in my carpet where I spilled toilet bowl cleaner and it bleached the color out of my carpet. A friend told me this company could repair that. I have to admit I was skeptical, but decided to try them. Not only was the service man very professional, he was able to restore my carpet to normal, like the bleach spots were never there! I highly recommend this company…”

“We had Steve out to help remove many different stains that other carpet cleaners were unable to remove. Not only did he remove all of those spots, but he also was able to repair bleach stains and perfectly match the color of our carpet. I am so impressed! … They have earned my business for the lifetime of my carpet.”

Questions
Common questions
Can every carpet be dyed?
No. Nylon and wool take dye well. Polyester, olefin and other solution-dyed fibers generally do not, because the color is built into the fiber. We identify the fiber first and tell you honestly.
Will the repair match exactly?
Every repair is different. Your technician will look at the spot, the fiber and your lighting, and talk through realistic expectations with you before starting. Dye is mixed to match your carpet in your lighting. Some sun-faded or heavily worn carpet has texture differences that remain visible even when the color matches.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the size and number of spots, but a typical bleach spot is a small fraction of replacing the carpet. Email us a photo or call and we will give you a price.
Will it wash out?
No. Carpet dye bonds to the fiber permanently and survives normal cleaning.
