Thank goodness for color-safe bleach....

See, having a bottle of bleach fall from the top shelf of the linen closet and splatter half its contents all over the carpet would have been really really bad if it hadn't been color-safe, I think.

As it is, we've essentially got a couple of square feet of carpet that are pretty much just soapy. We tried diluting with water, soaking up the soapy water with towels (starting, of course, with the ones that needed bleaching), and repeating until out of towels, and it's still soapy. Sigh. At least it's theoretically less soapy.

Any suggestions for getting the rest of this up, short of renting a carpet-shampooer (which seems, among other things, redundant at this point!), would be appreciated...
