YOU HELPED ME DECIDE WHAT I WILL DO FOR MY 14' HALLWAY RUNNER I LOVE, BUT NEEDS TO BE REVAMPED, THANK YOU!

Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate overdying! I'm so excited about rescuing my stained area rug!

Despite how some of the details on the rug disappeared from the dying it still ended up looking pretty nice. Good job 👍

Thank you for this. Love your new rug

Beautiful

Easy enough. Love the colors!

Thank you!!! I had an idea to fix mine this way too. Im glad someone else has tried it.

Well done. I really like the new colors! I have a brand new 100% New Zealand wool rug in white. But I know it won’t last ( my partner has a chronic soda spill problem, and we have a dog ) so I intend on dyeing our new rug soon. This has been a great help...thank you!

love this idea! I have a teal and white area rug and it has been stained! This a great idea to refresh it!

I love the finish product of the rug, thank you so much for the guidance of your video.

so pretty! lemons into lemonade!

GOOD JOB! I have a rug that I am trying to salvage and I am going to try this. Agreed on the rug pad! I just installed new wood flooring and I wouldn't like to die it by mistake!

Thank you ! I just did my hallway rug grey turned out great! I watched another lady that said she didn’t wanna dye hers because it was way too expensive for the dye and you had to boil the water and all that stuff And she said it seemed like expensive and too much of a pain. Oh my gosh I did not have to boil water or anything. I did exactly what you did and it turned out perfect. In the end she ended up spending $80 I spent 5$ on one bottle of dye! Actually my mom bought the dye! Lol thanks!!

Actually unreal 😍

I dyed my bath rugs from light Pink to coral came out great thanks ❤ looks new

Awesome, thanks!

Love it!

Thank you so much! Lol- I have an area rug I’m in love with and a runner that is NEEDED but cannot find anything to match or coordinate! Imma try this!

Thank you brilliant idea I'm going to give it a go.

Going to try it!

Brilliant idea.

Hi! Loved your results! What kind of material is your rug? I am guessing the dye will only work for cotton or wool, right? Thank you for the video.

I liked everything you shared. Curious ... how is your grass after all the dye?

Wow thanks. You diid great 👍

Love this. I have an old rug in our my husband's shop for my sounds game room and this would be great to hide all the yuck. But my question is when you walk barefoot on it after a while did you get blue feet?

Nice video

you have such pretty hair! I want to braid it!!

Ty I’m Unsure why bed bath and beyond would/should replace your rug when you spilled stuff on it… but this is great and I appreciate this!

I bet your forearms were very sore from pumping that spray bottle! LOL. I have a shag I love that is peacock blue but has some silvery threads in it and I cant find a peacock blue shag any where that matches my freshly painted walls or think and plush like the one I have! What do you think the chances are of finding a peacock blue and if it would even work on shag! What about mixing colors? Do you think that would work! I have ordered 3 more rugs and none are as plush as the one I first bought! Yours looks great btw and where did you get the spray bottles?

Would a wet and dry vacuum work to remove the excess dye if I cannot take the rug outside to rinse it?

Cool!

Did the dye come off on your feet, furniture or clothing at all after the process?

does the dye bleed on floors? can it get wet?

I saw another video where they said to use hot water, but it looks like you didn't, and it turned out great. Could you please confirm the temperature of the water you mixed with the dye?

What one did you use rit synthetic are which one thanks

I don't like the dark blue rim..but I like the middle color!!

I have a question: does the dye ever stain the floor beneath it? Thanks

I'm curious about how the dye is performing a year out. Im thinking of trying this on a rug myself. 🤔 Is the dye fast? Could you walk on it with white socks and not turn them blue? Did the dye transfer to the padding beneath? 😊

Excellent!! I have a white shag rug I was going to trash.

How many bottles did you end up using?

No! Do not! Rit needs heat to set it, and will still be unstable, like it needs to be boiled in a pot for a good hour. Still will run. That’s on natural fibers which it’s made for. Take it out on grass (maybe shampoo it) and spray it with watered down acrylic paint. Be very careful of overspray and wind. Rit doesn’t bind to polyester, which is plastic. Acrylic paint will. This looks like a short pile olefin rug and no dyes will bind to that. It looks great! But I went to art school, we had to do chemistry of these things. You don’t want dye coming off in the house.

Is that all of the rit dye you used? 1 bottle of each?

I dumpster dive lol I always check everything that people put out on bulk day I am weird like that but yesterday I came across a brand new beautiful living room rug just not my taste I'm thinking what can I do with this I'm not gonna resell it cause when am I gonna get for it lol this video is everything to me.

Is this rug wool or synthetic? Thanks

Here's my concern with trying this. I have a large over-dyed carpet in my kitchen. As a high-traffic area, we keep it clean with a home carpet "steamer." The problem is, we've found that every time we use the carpet machine, it removes a little bit of the dye. And so after about 3 years, while the carpet is in great condition, it has faded considerable. So, with your technique, I'm guessing dying it would create the same issue when running a steam machine on it? I'm wonder if it might work if one locks in the color with Scotchguard or such?

Shouldn't u leave it in the sun?? You began dying it in the shade..did u let it dry in the sun after u were done spraying it?

Love it but you always put water first then the chemical.

And here I go,wish me luck

Do I have to wash the rug after? Or no and do you think this will work on cowhide rugs because I have a white one I want to dye this color as a statement peace

You women with the word journey. Going to the grocery store is a fuckin journey

Necessary

Did the color bleed?

Film in landscape.

Scotchguard it.

WARNING: rug must be wool polyester will not dye

the word "whenever" does not mean the same thing as "when"

Love it!
