If you want your carpets to take on a new look and don't want to spend the money to replace them you should consider carpet dye. It's a low cost alternative that will give your carpet a total face lift.
Many types of carpets can be dyed including Polyester, polypropylene, and acrylic cannot be dyed by normal carpet dyers however at ausis.info we have developed a special system to enable the ability to dye these and your other furnishings as close to your desired colours as possible. The current colour of your carpet will determine what colour you can dye your carpet. For example if your carpet is red and yellow dye and you would get an orange carpet. Of if your carpet was blue and you added red you would get a purple carpet, (see our colour shades chart. White and light beige carpet can be dyed any colour but only a few extra coats can you get a deep black however it obviously costs more. You normally can never go lighter when dying carpet, only darker, however many colours brighten giving a lightening effect.
A number of common methods are used to dye carpet. Examples are dip dyeing, spraying the dye using our specialty custom designed application gun, lancing or trigger pack. Anytime you are performing a total colour change any method can have issues with (penetrating) dye moving down the fibre.
Another method is to apply the dye with a rotary scrubber which has POLYPROPYLENE bristles. The machine is moved across the carpet in an overlapping pattern so no areas are missed. This method is good as you only need a small amount of experience to get a professional look especially when using our specialist penetrators, chemicals and dyes.
