Do you have a 100% woollen rug on which there are stains from the kids and/or pets? Have you had professional rug cleaning but found that the stains have destroyed the wool fibres and won’t come out? What do you do? You don’t really want to throw out the rug so are there any other options?
You should think about rug dyeing. This will eliminate all of your problems. Firstly it will save you money on purchasing a new rug and secondly you have the chance to even change the colour if you’d like to.
When thinking about rug cleaning and dyeing your rug there are some questions you should ask yourself:
- How much did the rug cost?
- How much will it cost to replace the rug?
- What colour or result do you want to achieve?
When dyeing a rug, the main colours we can use are your stronger colours like greens, greys, blacks, and blues etc. Unfortunately we can’t dye with lighter colours such as cream or beige.
In the photos you’ll see two different rugs, one is being dyed green and the other charcoal. The green rug had the latex glue coming through from the backing that had caused a permanent orange/yellow staining which cannot be removed. We performed thorough rug cleaning then dyed numerous times to achieve the results the customer wanted.
On the 2nd rug you’ll notice all of the brown stains. These are actually urine stains and they have damaged the fibres in the rug. The customer wanted to keep the rug about the same colour so what we have done is spot dyeing on the stains to turn the brown into a grey then we applied a different shade of grey to blend the colour in.
At the moment we are doing tests on ways to dye other fibres like viscose which is a synthetic fibre. Once we have found a way to dye these fibres I will have more photos to show you.
Rug dyeing is not a complicated procedure so if you want to save your rug, don’t hesitate in thinking about this option. If you have any questions about rug dyeing or rug cleaning, please contact the rug dyeing experts at All Aces Services on 1800 00 1010.
