A lot of people don’t know that you can dye your carpets instead of replacing them once their colors start to fade.

What is Carpet Dyeing?

Why dye your carpet?

You may already have a reason in mind as to why you wish to dye your carpet a new color, but here are a few more to consider:

  • Cover unsightly stains: No matter how many times you get your carpet cleaned, some stubborn stains might refuse to budge. You may also have a very large and very noticeable stain that you want to cover up.
  • Original color is fading: The sun pouring into your living room may be a boon to your potted plants, but it could be fading or bleaching the original color of your carpet.
  • Planning to sell your house: Since a dye job can cover stains and refresh a room, it is a good choice if you are getting ready to sell your home and want it to be show-ready, especially if you need a quick turnaround or are working on a tight budget.
  • Your carpet is young: A good quality carpet should last 10 to 15 years, so if your carpet is relatively new but the victim of a bad stain, a dye job is a way to give it new life without ripping it out. 
  • You are redecorating: You watched Marie Kondo’s show and decided what sparks joy—an entirely new color scheme for your living room. But if the carpet does not work with your interior design dream, dye it for a fresh start. Source: Angi

Maintaining dyed carpets

After investing in carpet dyeing, follow these maintenance tips to preserve the new color and extend your floor’s life span:

  • Rotate your furniture periodically so the carpet wears evenly.
  • Vacuum the carpet regularly so dirt doesn’t build up.
  • Clean spills immediately so stains will not set as easily.
  • Have your carpets professionally cleaned once per year.
  • Use window treatments to reduce sun exposure that can discolor the carpet.
  • Don’t use harsh chemical cleaners on your carpet, as these could strip the dye. Source: Today’s Homeowner
