I have a question that someone may have an answer for?
My washing machine sprung a leak this evening...I came home to a sopping wet laundry room floor that had leached into my main floor carpet outside the door. My carpet is not that old...but the main issue is..there was bleach in the water as I was washing a load of whites!!!!
I cannot really tell right now...but it looks like the the colour has been affected despite my having washed it with clear water as soon as I found it. This carpet carries throught the entire main floor, up the stairs and most of upstairs too...it's not going to be a simple fix! What if anything, will my insurance do???
I cannot believe the mess....
