I need to do this in an open area that I can't disguise. As the (very small) area is now faded I don't have a spare piece that will blend in perfectly. My question is whether I can artificially fade a piece of virgin carpet (ie. pinched from a part that is under a pece of furniture and so unfaded by the light)? I imagine it would take too long to leave it in the sun so will I get the same effect if rub the pile with a week dilution of bleach and water? Are the two processes of fading (sun or bleaching) similar or identical?
