Carpet Color Change
For many, carpet dyeing is synonymous with color change. At times, changing the color of a carpet has
been offered as a solution to color damage, with less than desired results. Contrary to beliefs, trying
to camouflage a problem with overdyeing or changing the color, rarely gives the results achieveable
otherwise.
Changing a carpet's color by redyeing is not designed as a solution for color damage or staining, per se;
but for aestetics, or a poor original color choice. Changing the color of an off-white carpet in a northern
Minnesota summer-camp lake cabin, to a medium neutral color makes sense. A change in decor can be an additional
reason for use. Color change involves the entire carpet fiber above the backing, whereas repair is usually
dealing with the fiber tips, or isolated areas in a carpet.
