Is Carpet Dyeing Right for you?

The floors in your home or commercial space are usually the first thing that people will notice; it sets a tone, a vibe and says a lot about you or the business. Carpet is under scrutiny whenever guests visit and potential buyers will definitely take the condition of it into consideration when they’re thinking about buying your property. If your carpet looks less than perfect it will reflect poorly on the rest of your space, not to mention your reputation as far as cleaning and maintenance goes. Carpets get faded, discoloured and stained or you may just not like the colour of it. If the carpet is still viable, has lots of fiber and lots of life left, the solution to these issues can be to dye it. Carpet dyeing can be the affordable answer to restore your plush flooring and save you money.

Carpet Dyeing VS Replacement

What should you consider when you’re thinking about carpet dyeing? If the carpet is of high-quality and is less than 10 years old, it’s not economical to replace it. The carpet may be close to brand new but for some reason just looks older than it is. There are times carpet just looks bad but it is too soon to have it replaced. This is the ideal situation to consider dyeing instead of replacement. Dyeing will save up approximately 65-75% or carpet replacement costs. It can be done in as little as a day, so is not as invasive as replacement, where you need several days of upheaval and not being able to use your property.

When you dye the carpets in your home a new colour will be applied to the fibers to cover up stains, blemishes and either match or darken the existing colour of the carpet; or if you like it can be a whole new colour. This is an easy way to make your carpet look great again and is only a fraction of what it would cost to replace it. That doesn’t mean that it’s the right answer for every carpet. You may have carpet that won’t last more than a year or two even if you dye it and there are situations when carpet can be stretched or spot dyed to take care of isolated stains or colourloss. It’s best to contact professionals to go over all the options available to you before you make a final decision.
