WHOOPSS!!!
I accidentally spilled Clorox on the carpet in our game room. I dried it up as fast as I could and poured water over it then cleaned the water up. After the water, I used carpet cleaner then I vacuumed over it so it would soak up any bleach that was left. Is that what I should have done or did I make it worse? Is there anything else I can do to make sure that part of the carpet won't turn white? It's a beige color.

yes thats to me once just get a dry rag and a hot iron.put the rag on top of the stain and push the iron down on top of the rag with the rag on top of the stain.
Try it!

omfg that same thing happened to me! i have a beige carpet too. i was sitting down on the carpet and there was this bleach stuff next to me and i knocked it over by accident (oops) i did the same thing as you i used carpet cleaner and water and i blotted it up with a rag but it didnt come off. i think by vaccming it you made it worse because you actully had to blot it out. mine still had a little white spot, but who knows, yours might still be all beige. i also heard that if you put hairspray on the bleach stain it will take it out. you can also move things around in your game room so it could cover the stain. just wondering, why was there clorox in your game room lol good luck & i hope i helped! xox melissa

Hmmmmm...
My husband owns a carpet cleaning company.
There is NOTHING you can do to get bleach out of a carpet. And that carpet cleaner stuff is the WORST thing you can do to your rug.
For future reference, only use water and a SMALL amount of mild dish soap to clean your rug, furniture...That stuff they sell in stores is not only crap, but could have harsh chemicals in them that could damage your rug.
Use a dry white rag and blot it, soaking up the water.
Also, be careful when mixing chemicals...bleach mixed with god only knows what was in that carpet cleaner you used could have been bad. Not only for your carpet, but for you!

I'd be most worried about the vacuum, actually. Did you suck up a lot of water? Well, if it's fine, just wait for the carpet to completely dry. If it looks a little off, maybe rinse it with a little diluted coffe. But if it looks okay, don't do anything! If you cleaned it pretty fast, it should be fine.
