to spend the money to replace them you should consider carpet
dye. It's a low cost alternative that will give your carpet a
total face lift.
Both nylon and wool carpets can be dyed. Polyester,
polypropylene, and acrylic cannot be dyed. The current color of
your carpet will determine what color you can dye your carpet.
For example if your carpet is red and yellow dye and you would
get an orange carpet. Of if your carpet was blue and you added
red you would get a purple carpet. White and light beige carpet
can be dyed any color but you can never get a deep black. You
can never go lighter when dying carpet, only darker.
There are two common methods used to dye carpet. One is by
spraying the dye using a want that produces between 150 and 500
pounds of pressure. If you are performing a total color change
this method can have some issues with penetration.
The second method is to apply the dye with a rotary scrubber
which has nylon bristles. The machine is moved across the carpet
in an overlapping pattern so no areas are missed. You need a
great deal of experience to get a professional look but the
penetration is excellent and its' the best method of the two.
You must be sure to use professional carpet dye to ensure your
carpet dye job works. Just like a bad hair dye you can get a bad
carpet dye too. Fiber pro dyes are designed to work on nylon,
wool, and carpets that have a stain resistant coating. The

colors are bright and they are fade resistant. You need to know
what the material of your carpet is and ensure that it is
capable of being dyed. Because dying a carpet is a complex
procedure it would be in your best interest to have a
professional come into your home, have a look, and let you know
if your carpet can be dyed, how well it will take, and how much
it will cost.
If you are having touch up work done a professional will use a
match system to match up the color as close as possible.
Automobiles often have their carpeting dyed and the
professionals will match the carpet as close as possible to the
original.
When the carpet dye is applied it is applied to the surface and
the lightly brushed into the nap. The professional will know the
exact amount of dye to apply to your carpet to obtain the color
choice. To find a good professional make some calls to local
carpet dealers. Remember you can use carpet dying to do touch up
on spots that have had color discoloration or removal due to
bleach.
Carpet dying is truly an art form. If you are going to give it
a try yourself and eliminate the cost of the professionals I
encourage you to get some scrap carpet, hopefully in a similar
