Is it Cheaper to Replace or Dye Carpeting?

Usually, floors are the first thing visitors notice once they enter someone’s home. It is the biggest surface area in a house and because you are in frequent contact with it, they’re rapidly scrutinized by potential homebuyers and guests. Therefore, when your carpeting does not look good, it is pretty much guaranteed to poorly reflect on your housekeeping reputation. If the carpeting is discolored, faded, stained, or just an undesirable color, it is recommended to refurbish it. What if the carpet is in good condition but looks awful? It is a waste of money to have to replace an already high-quality pile. Usually, carpet dyeing is the most economical and best way to restore carpeting. 

Faded Carpet: Dye or Replace?

There are many factors that are going to increase the wisdom of selecting carpet dyeing to refresh the appearance of a carpet. Quality carpet, less than 10 years old, seldom demands any replacing. Perhaps the carpet is almost new yet somehow looks abused and old. A lot of times carpets aren’t torn up, worn down, or fraying, but still appear as if they should be replaced. How does that happen? It might be that you have children careless with the fruit punch, or a pet being potty trained, or perhaps the sun rays are just having their way with the carpet fibers.

Carpet dyeing professionals have the ability to apply new colors to the fibers or they can cover blemishes to match a pre-existing color. A fast dye project is an efficient and easy method of restoring old carpets without the extra cost: On average, dyeing is 1/3 the cost of replacement ($586 versus $1,683). With that said, this process is not the solution for every carpet. Some carpets might not last more than an extra one or two years, whether they’re dyed or not. Some recommended to speak with an experienced carpet dyeing professional before making any final decisions about the carpeting.

Should you Buy a New Carpet or Dye it First?

A dull-looking old carpet makes the entire room appear dated; however, a replacement is not the only way to get your floor back into good condition. Dye will breathe new life into carpeting and save you time and money, compared with a replacement. It is a practical option if the pile of your carpet is still in good shape, but its surface is stained or faded.

Consider All of Your Options

For all of its benefits, carpet dyeing still takes a good amount of work, and it is irreversible. Before you begin to pick out dyes, be sure re-coloring is actually the best option for your problem.

If your carpeting has stains, ask an expert about deep cleaning. If there are just a few stains on new carpeting, it may be easier to just cut out those stained sections and then patch them using carpet remnants.

If you decide to dye, you will have to pick between spot dyeing to re-color faded or stained areas and dyeing your entire carpet to change its color.

Dye is a pretty inexpensive and fast method of rejuvenating a carpet and a professional application will give you amazing results. Although, it cannot always produce the shade you want, and depending upon the dye that is used, you may find it fading quicker than you hoped.

Do-it-yourself Dyeing vs Hiring a Professional

Dyeing carpet on your own is doable; however, you will have to approach the project carefully. An expert will get attractive results within 1 – 6 hours, depending upon the size of the room. They will clean your carpet, remove stain blocking solutions as necessary, and conduct a dye patch test. After they apply the dye, they will reapply the stain blocker then dry your carpet.

A professional dye job may restore your faded or stained carpet to the gorgeous floor covering it was at one time. So long as you do not mind having  and it is possible to tolerate some risk of early fading or dye transfer, you will save time and money.

It is possible to do the job on your own if you are on a budget; however, for long-lasting, flawless results, consider hiring the pros!
