no it will not be discolored; it will be uncolored. bleach will remove some color based upon its strength. if the bleach was watered down you may have a prayer. (imo, your only hope is a resurge of "tie dye".

if you don't mind me asking, why was bleach in the cabin? (i'd move this to the maintenance forum...but i don't know what you were trying to maintain because bleach seems like a risky "cleaner")

I was in between moving apartments and didn't think the bleach would spill because the cap was on tight. Little did I know, how wrong I was. That's what I get for being lazy in my placement

rofl, no, you are wrong... bleach is actually Sodium hypochlorite, a base (ph ~12)

I have a degree in biochemisty. I know what i'm talking about. The solid of "bleach" before they put it into water is Sodium Hypochlorite. Once it is put into water it partially splits into the sodium cation Na+ and the hypochlorite anion ClO-, while a substantial portion hydrolyses into sodium hydroxide and hypochlorous acid. The oxidizing power of the latter and of the hypochlorite anion cause the bleaching effect.

what stops the sodium hydroxide and the hypochlorous acid from reacting?

In the water solution the ionic interaction isn't strong enough to form a precipitate. It is a reversible reaction. The two do react, then they just dissolve again. It is in equilibrium in the water. If you were to boil out all the water, the sodium hypochlorate would reform. Notice what water is made of, H2O. All that water (and thus hydrogen) for the hypoclorate ions to bind/interact with versus the sodium ions. Thus the concentration of hypochloric acid will be far greater. Overall, yes the pH would be basic, however the bleaching agent is still the acid not the sodium hydroxide. If it were, people would just use sodium hydroxide and not "bleach."

Well one day passed, and the seats still look normal. I think it all dried out, but the stench of the chlorine is overwhelming my car. I tried airing it out, but to no avail. Maybe I am out in the clear
