Clean and Colour your Carpets
This is a service for a carpet that has lost minimal colour to the elements all the way to a full restoration of colour. Or indeed a complete colour change. It can and often entails correcting sun faded areas to bring it back to the original colour. All our dyes are non toxic, environmentally friendly and can be walked on almost immediately.
Here at Australian Carpet Dyeing, we can restore just about any carpet or rug to its former glory, guaranteeing to match the carpet’s previous colour while eliminating any and all stains. A carpet clean and dyeing process will restore brightness, colour and texture and is truly amazing when the right process and equipment is used.
Once stains are reduced, we can re-dye the area to match the surrounding area.

These are generally done on an off-cut or somewhere like a wardrobe, as if it’s “dyeable” these samples will be permanent.
This will depend upon the thickness of pile and weather conditions but an average carpet will be left damp directly after it’s restored; approximately as damp as a thorough steam clean. It will take approximately 24 to 48 hours to dry completely, however it is colourfast straight away and it can be lived on. Most furniture can be replaced immediately through care must be taken in putting certain items on damp carpet. Plastic protection or coasters may need to go under stained woods, MDF, metal objects until dry.
