Carpet Dye as an Alternative To Replacing Your Carpet?

Answer 1

If you would like to change the appearance of you home by changing the color of your carpet, you may feel reluctant to do so because of the extreme costs that come with buying a new carpet. The good news is that this is not the only option. You may also want to consider using carpet dye instead. The costs necessary to do this are incredibly small in comparison. Nylon and wool carpet can both by altered through the use of carpet dye. It is important to realize, however, that polyester, polypropylene, and acrylic can not be dyed. The types of colors that can be achieved will depend on the color of the carpet as it stands. The combination of color types is a very important aspect of the process.

There are two basic techniques that are used in order to dye a carpet: spraying the carpet and using a rotary scrubber. Transforming the entire carpet color may be difficult if only a spray is used. This is because a spray does not penetrate very deeply into the carpet. On the other hand, the rotary scrubber can penetrate quite deeply into the carpet through the use of rotating bristles. This prevents any areas from being missed. A professional who has been adequately trained should be used in the process. The scrubber is much more effective due to the fact that it penetrates much further into the carpet.

Above all else, it is important to make sure that the right dye is used. Not only does the color matter, but the type as well. If the wrong dye is used it can damage the carpet. Before the carpet can be dyed, it is important to understand exactly what it is that the carpet is made of before anything else can be accomplished. The process of dying a carpet is complicated, and it is not as simple as simply choosing a dye that is the color your want your carpet to have when you are finished. This is why it is so important for a professional to be involved. This is the only way that you will be able to determine what colors are possible.
