looking for a DYI Carpet dye

SlowLS · 01-17-2012, 10:48 AM

Does anyone or has anyone done this? mine is gray and i want it black.

RITE or something like that makes a dye black looks really nice too usually you can find this dye at walmart.... i've heard you just put it in a bucket with water... or something bigger for the carpet and let it soak the amoutnof time then wash off excess and dry flat....

ive def. heard this works. never done it myself though

Chef · 01-25-2012, 06:21 PM

me either... but i have a buddy who has done it to carpets and even seat coversand they look really good.... just never have the time or patience but i guess when you do it once if its not dark soak again till its your desired color

I think I had already seen a thread on here were a member did this and it didn't work for him, but I'm not sure. Search the site for it.

check the ek thread i did mine and it worked out

"Blumpkin" · 03-06-2012, 02:49 PM

So I just did this last night and it worked great. My carpet was the dark blue grey and it came out totally black. I think what people are doing wrong is on the back of the dye it says for nylon witch our carpets are, it says to use a cup of vinegar not salt.
