Dye Carpets

How to Spot & Complete carpet dye

Wool and nylon can only be dyed, there are other carpet fibers but Synthetic fibers can be difficult to dye, because they are substances that have been man-mad in a laboratory like polyester for example. You can test the fiber by using a test kit TEST KIT INFO or bleach will work by applying a drop of bleach to the carpet fiber. First remove the carpet fiber from the carpet and drop in an oz of bleach. If it changes color then you can dye the carpet. Carpet must be thoroughly clean first. Remove all red or colored dyes. You can use expensive chemicals to remove the dye or mix some bleach in water and apply gently to the spot. Rinse carpet for best results with an acid rinse like Acid clear rinse Once the carpet is cleaned, then find the color you need. I have several colors to choose from Carpet Dyes from Kleenpro Mix dye of your choice. For spot dye, add 1/3 tablespoon of color dye in quart jug sprayer of water. (Mix 1-quart of red, and 1-quart of blue and 1-quart of yellow). By having 3 colors you can mix over 10,000 color variations. Do not set. Just spray a little of each color until the color changes to the correct color you want. May have to spray one color, and then spray the other color. Spot dying does require some skill but easy to figure it out. When spot dying do not use dye set. The entire carpet will require a carpet extractor and a sprayer. Mix dye as directed in water. Before you mix the Dye set, spay in the toilet then spray in the carpet closet to make sure the carpet dye is what you want. Once you decide spray evenly entire carpet do 150 sq.ft at time or one room. Then extract. If this is the color you want then spray again lightly with Dye Set after you mix the color. You can add a tablespoon to the dye, it’s very concentrated. Once set you cannot remove. Some dyers will not Dye set. After you apply the dye use a carpet extractor to remove residue. That is the secret to dyeing carpet and spot dying... Kleenpro 800-510-2436
