(Sorry for superficial topic on important day!) Seeking help with jute rug

Friend's dog peed on jute rug.

We used bleach-based cleaner (Resolve) and now there is a white spot.

Thinking about dying back to natural color (tan/brown) with diluted coffee or grounds.

Any experience out there with this? Can the rug hold up?

Not alot of online help.

TIA!

back to normal unless the jute is very light. Might have to weight the jute with something while it dries so it doesn't curl. Search the internet. They have everything these days.

3. I have lots of experience with dying but with silk. The people who really know their stuff about

dying are https://www.dharmatrading.com/ you could probably email them and get an opinion about what would work. Someone who works there would know.

You can get different shades at a good art supply store.
