Rit Dye On Furniture

Dear Jennifer, I just read your articles on dying different fabrics and came across a question on dying carpet with RIT dye. It can be done. I recently moved into a house that obviously had blue carpet once upon a time. It had since faded out to a really weird aqua light green color. It was blue where the furniture of the previous owners had been sitting. I used Rit’s denim blue and it turned out beautiful. I’ve had a lot of compliments on it and 2 people offered to pay me to do theirs. Just thought I’d let you know.

Thank you for letting me know about this! How exactly did you apply the dye? Have you had any trouble with color coming off on anything? I am so glad you had a good experience! Do you know if your carpet is nylon or what the fiber content is?
best,
Jennifer
