Only dye your carpet if you are sure it is wool or nylon.

Diy dye wool rug.

In a great twist of fate i found a large 10 x 12 wool rug at the thrift store for only 15. Some local fabric carpet and home supply stores as well as a variety of online retailers sell carpet dye in an assortment of standard colors. The only items i had to buy for this diy project were the rit dye and the scotchgard. Choose the right carpet dye for your carpet.

Add the amount of liquid or predissolved dye required for your rug. But keep in mind it will be permanent so be sure you can commit before you proceed. Just prior to dyeing add several large potfuls of boiling water which will give your rug a much better color result. Stir the dye bath with a wooden stirring stick to evenly spread the dye.

Dye carpet give your plush a fresh clean stain free reboot with the guidance here. If you are using a powder dye predissolve the dye in 2 cups of boiling water. One idea i stumbled onto was the overdyed rug where you take an ugly old natural fiber rug and dye it a rich jewel tone to mask the outdated pattern and make it more modern. Also make sure that you have a funnel and bottle with spray.

Read the dye packaging carefully to make sure it is safe for use on these materials.
