There are a number of different manufacturers now procesing bleach resistant carpets.
Again you need to know what your dealing with and advise accordingly regarding direct or indirect application.
Below is a good extract from Weston Carpets.
New generation of healthcare carpets from Weston
Weston Carpets’ Premiere-Care range is specifically targeted to the healthcare market and is the first fully impervious carpet to be produced using Colortec, the very latest generation of carpet manufacturing technology which can create larger, bolder designs. Most other solution-dyed carpets in this market have small geometric or tonal designs due to manufacturing limitations.
“Weston is one of only a very few carpet companies currently able to offer the larger Axminster-style designs on healthcare carpet,” said Weston Carpets contract sales manager Neil Barker. This welcome flexibility in carpet design is thanks to the advanced technology used in the production of this carpet in Denmark so the design possibilities for this range are endless.”
Weston Premiere-Care is 100% polypropylene and is currently available in two designs, Rosetta and Floral, and in three colours. A third design, Trellis, is currently being developed and others are in the pipeline. The carpet features a lightweight, impervious felt backing which makes the carpet soft and comfortable underfoot and at the same time manageable and easy to handle. The backing is guaranteed for the life of the carpet.
Weston Premiere-Care is solution-dyed, which means the colour is fixed all the way through the yarn. It will not fade and it cannot be affected by bleach – the carpet is virtually stain-proof. It is a heavy duty cut-pile contract carpet designed primarily for public areas in the healthcare environment such as lounges, dining rooms, receptions, day centres, corridors and eating areas.
Two other carpets in Weston’s healthcare range are Weston Solutions and the best-selling Weston Décor-Care. Both have a five-year wear guarantee, and anti-stain and anti-fade warranties. They are anti-static and fully impervious up to NHS spec.
Both Weston Solutions and Weston Décor-Care are available in any width up to 4m. Weston Carpets is the only carpet company in the healthcare sector to offer the any-width option on most of its carpets, offering economy for the client through reduced waste and making installation easier.
These bleach-resistant, heavy duty carpets are available in a range of plain colourways for interior design flexibility. Again, solution dying means that the colour is fast throughout the pile. Both feature a fully impervious, flame retardant latex backing with BACO FRF accreditation.
