I was wondering if a person could dye their carpets rather than replace them My carpets are in good condition, but they are like a beige. I want blue, but cant afford to do all the rooms and they are all open and sort of connect. I was told to add a little salt to hold the dye, but wouldn't that eat the carpet after a while?? Linda

Linda, You are moving into an area where you need a trained specialist to dye carpet in large square footage is costly, I personally have only seen small spots done and upholstery. Maybe someone else has upfront knowledge of this.. but heres a link.. www.jccarpet.com/dye/

In my opinion this would be an allmost impossible task,the chances of achieving a consistant color throughout are very slim.I would ask the advice of an expert and see what they say.

Maybe you can paint the walls blue and keep the carpet beige that would be probaly $40.00 in paint

I have done Carpet Dyeing in the Past. Most Residential Properties who are Saving Money Dyes the Carpet Instead of Changing them. These are Allright but the in the Long Run it is not Worth it as Dyes Fades in 6 Mos. to 1 Year. Besides Frequently Walking in Carpet and some Areas Get Wet from Drinks or Anything Liquid Dropped will wear Away Dye. This sticks to Socks too. IICRC and CRI recommends doing this on Certain Level. But Not Advisable. Best Way to have is Carpet Cleaned or Save Cash for Replacement.
