Hi Jim,
Make a visit to your local food store, "Wally World", hardware store,
etc. Go to the laundry soap department. Look for a product called "Rit Dye",
its made to dye fabrics. It comes in almost any color and is simple to use.
The instructions on the box are for use in a washing machine. But if you mix
a pan of hot water, soap and the dye, and scrub the carpet with a stiff
brush and let dry it will work great! One suggestion, always pick a color a
shade a little darker than your desired color if your trying to cover
stains, light spots etc. I have used this for many years selling used cars
and trying to "spiff" them up a little. Be careful not to let it dry on any
lighter colored plastic parts, its real hard to remove from plastic trim
once it sets up.
Works great, costs less than $2.00, best of all worlds! LOL
Good Luck
David
