    Thank you for this! Had a mishap with our apartments carpet and though all hope was lost and we’d have to replace it but dying it to be at least passable vs an entire reinstall of carpet is a much better option for us currently.

    I’d like to learn more about your process. I understand everything up until the part where you said you’ve already pre mixed “the dye” and so my question like most here is what type of dye is used as well what did you mix it with and in what part color what part water solution?
    I’m a cosmetologist but I’m not a carpet expert. Thank you in advance for your help. I need to fix this area asap. Please share your magic formula and brand of color please. Our carpet is a light beige, cool tone no reds.

    • @HowToCleanLikeAPro

      I use carpet dye from americolordyes.com. I mix the dye with pH stabilizer and dye prep catalyst. There’s no standard ratio for mixing water and dye because it’s always done on a case by case basis. I mix the dye lighter than I think I’ll need at first and add more color as needed. Usually I can match the carpet to one of the stock colors they sell but sometimes I need to mix colors to match the carpet. They sell everything you need to dye carpet.

    Thank you for this! Is there any cheaper option to make a white spot a little darker, please? It’s not bleach. My beige carpet is dyed black a little from my slippers. I tried to clean something off the carpet with dish soap, which has created the white spot. Thanks again!

    Great video. I have a wool rug with pet urine stains. Can I use this technique to cover them?

    • @HowToCleanLikeAPro
      @HowToCleanLikeAPro  Рік тому

      The urine spots should be cleaned and treated for staining before you dye the rug. Any stains will usually come out in the process and dying won't be necessary. Sometimes, there will be bleaching left behind that can only be corrected with dye.

    • @HowToCleanLikeAPro
      @HowToCleanLikeAPro  Рік тому +1

      Medium Brown. Always start out with a more dilute solution because you can always go darker but it's not always possible to go lighter.

      I haven’t found a point at which it goes bad so I would say indefinitely. But it’s more hassle to store mixed dye than it’s worth so I don’t bother.

    I'm moving out of a house on base and have a few stains. Two of them are a darker ink stain. The biggest being about the size of a quarter. The carpets are a darker tan, any tips on dyeing it? Also 2-3 red stains throughout the whole house. Been here for 4 years and have kids, stuff happens. They charge $5 a square foot to replace carpet🤦‍♂️

    • @HowToCleanLikeAPro
      @HowToCleanLikeAPro  3 роки тому +1

      You can’t really dye a spot that’s darker than the color of the carpet. You can only dye lighter to darker. If you call a carpet cleaner they can usually remove ink and red dye stains fairly easily. If you want to try to do it yourself you can use a product like this: amzn.to/3iQp5Mu for the red stains. There are also ink stain removers available online as well. If you decide to do it yourself be sure to follow the directions because these products can damage the carpet if not used properly.

    • @HowToCleanLikeAPro
      @HowToCleanLikeAPro  Рік тому +1

      I used Medium Brown. The dye is darker when it's wet, so you can't tell how it will look until it dries. That's why it's recommended to start with a very dilute solution and work your way darker.

    hi i have a big bleach stain on my apartment carpet, the carpet color is khaki (nearby beige). I used 2 spoons of vinegar+warm water on the bleached area (as given on the google directions) I believe it would have also neutralized the bleach color.. the carpet has been dry now as its been 3 weeks since the bleach fell on the carpet. I believe it will not spread the dye color if I will apply on the carpet. or what are your thoughts about it?
    Please let me know what carpet dye color should I use in this case.

      They’re not dark green. The spots are wet and these HiDef cameras see more than we do. To the naked eye the dyed spots blended perfectly with the rest of the carpet.
