Carpet Repairs & Spot Dyeing

Any spot that is lighter than the color of the carpet indicates that the color has been removed from the carpet. This situation cannot be fixed with any “cleaning” technique, it requires that we put the missing dye back in.

Example: A brown carpet (which is actually Red, Yellow a nd Blue) that has a yellow spot is actually missing the Red and Blue dye.

Re-Dyeing this spot is usually the best and least expensive option,. Unfortunately re-dyeing doesn’t always work.

3 Common Problems With Spot Dyeing Carpet

1. The carpet fibers are so destroyed that they won’t accept the new dye.

2. The bleach cannot be neutralized and it bleaches out the new dye.

3. The carpet color cannot be matched perfectly, so the larger the spot, the more visible the imperfection.

In cases where spot dyeing carpet is not a viable solution, the only other option is patching or re-tufting.

Carpet Repair: Patching or Re-Tufting requires that we have a spare or donor piece of carpet. Where this is not available, perhaps we can take a small piece from a closet. The spot or in some cases just the effected tufts are cut out and replace with the donor piece. This may be noticeable, especially where we are inserting a new donor piece into a worn area. Usually, if we remove just the tufts, it will blend back in well.
