The John Martin way   

This hotel has several orange drink (or something stains ) people complain thinking its blood  ...


Apply hair bleach from your LIDL container   


Peroxide got most of it but its stil a bit orangey


Some light grey carpet dye applied with brush


Overall  ... patch is still a bit damp in this pic but it should blend fine   ... happy manager

merci
I got some dye on ebay , if you search ebay for ' acid dye wool feathers '  it should bring up lots .
milliners use them for dying feathers also .
I also got some large 1lb containers from cobb carpet also but u dont need that much for spot dying .

Where did you get the peroxide paste John? What strength?

Where did you get the peroxide paste John? What strength?

local hair salon supply or ebay
hair bleach is two part ,  the powder and developer mixed together 50/50
I'v found u can add water to make it liquid , and it seems to keep a while when mixed , well day or two anyway .
12% 40vol is the strongest commonly available
reason i use it  ... u can make heaps cheaply , usefull for mattress .
and there is no smell , i try not to use the sod met now , too smelly
In the pics im just pasting it on crudely  , but that was after doing another room first and checking the carpet dye wasnt effected in the time its on the carpet , would have to be more carefull on a different carpet .
