Carpet re-dying is often done when carpets have been either cleaned with the wrong cleaning solutions which faded or discolored the carpet, or when bleach stains occurred. Keep in mind that even UV rays can also fade and discolor portions of the carpet. Regardless of how clean your carpet might be these, discolorations can make your carpet look dirty or un-kept. However there is one solution that avoids replacing your entire carpet. You can re-dye your carpets. This is a much cheaper solution than replacing your carpet. Carpet Dry-Tech will share the different methods of re-dying.
Causes of Carpet Discoloration
As mentioned, carpets can become discolored in many ways. Whether you want just a spot or small area to be blended in or the re-coloring of your entire carpet, this technique can help extend the life of your carpet. However it will depend on the condition of your carpet as to whether or not replacing versus re-dying might be better. Additionally keep in mind you can’t make dark carpet lighter. However, normally you can re-dye carpet in darker shades than the original color. Bleached areas can also be colored to match the rest of the carpet; there are many situations where re-dying carpet can be a life saver.
Carpet Dyeing Techniques
Bear in mind that re-dying isn’t a simple as repainting a wall or re-staining wooden floors. In order to match the discolored carpet to the rest of it or even change the original color it will take a professional or specialist. There are three major techniques used to achieve the satisfactory re-dying of your carpets.
Spot Control – If you just have off color spots due to bleach or the UV rays of the sun, the specialist will re-dye the spot by integrating colors that will match the rest of the color of the carpet upon completion. Of course, it takes training to known how each color integrates with each other and how the dye will react with your type of carpet and its fibers.
Re-Coloring – For those that have a large area to re-dye or want to re-dye their entire carpeted area, keep in mind as stated before–you can only go darker in most cases and depending to your carpet and it original coloring, some colors may not work. As an example don’t expect to make a red carpet blue. Re-coloring is used when you want to change the entire appearance of your carpet.
Safety Supplies – There are safety application that the carpet specialist will utilize as well. For example there are safer dyes that should be used when children and pets are in the home. Make sure to ask your carpet specialist about the safer dyes. However these safer dyes may seem more pricy, but it is well worth the safety of your children, loved ones, and pets.
