Hi Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I understand that it was
a mistake and i want some solution for that. This is an rented
apartment and I'll be moving to some other area on this weekend. So I
have to resolve this issue by this weekend otherwise apartment
community management will charge big money for this.
I think I've 4 options -
1. Pay to management for carpet change - big money, does not want to do
that.
2. Apply a patch - I'm afraid it will be visible and apartment mgmt.
can easily notice that.
3. Get the threads out of bleached area and glue (super glue) threads
there from some hidden area (closet).
4. Call some spot dying professional (will charge $200 for this).
If anyone have been through any of these solutions, can you please
share your expirence and suggest something which will be really helpful
for me. I'm in Washington DC, USA area.
Once again, thanks in advance.
