DuPont Spot Bleed Test (Carpet & Textiles)
Floor Detective® Laboratory Testing Reference
Summary
DuPont Spot Bleed Test is a proprietary laboratory evaluation used to assess the resistance of dyed carpet and textile materials to localized dye migration and color bleeding following prolonged exposure to water and surfactant solutions. The procedure simulates extended wet conditions that may contribute to localized dye bleeding or color transfer. Results are visually evaluated using the AATCC Gray Scale for Color Change and provide comparative information regarding color stability. Laboratory findings should be interpreted together with fiber type, dye system, construction, cleaning history, field observations, and other laboratory test results.
