  • <h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: A Viable Money-Saving Option

    Dyeing carpet yourself makes it possible to save hundreds, even thousands of dollars over traditional methods of repair and replacement. Choosing colors without special ordering or high-pressure sales make it a more enjoyable experience. Creative Homemaking notes that "most nylon and wool carpets are repairable using carpet dye."

    On the Other: The Learning Curve

    Preparations for dying a carpet are extensive. The necessary equipment is expensive to purchase or rent, and time-consuming to learn how to use properly. Also, your particular carpet may be constructed of materials not receptive to dye.

    Bottom Line

    Carpet manufacturers make and sell dye kits to provide customers with an alternative to complete carpet replacement. Most equipment rental companies will walk customers through the operation of products they rent to ensure their equipment does not get misused or broken. The monetary savings alone makes this a project worth serious consideration.
