This write up is for those of us who carpets are lets just are not up to par with how it should be lol. Take note I did not do this write up and I got it from another site but I did to the DIY and the results are friggin amazing. This was the best 10 bucks I've ever spent for bang for your buck. I'll take pics of mine tomorrow and post them up
Steps:
Remove carpet
Get rit and 2 things of salt (big things, the cylinders)
Get a tub, a pretty big tub that you can wad up the carpet in.
Sit at the stove and slowly dissolve the rit and dye in almost boiling water. This takes the most time by far. I went through some 17 pots of almost boiling water.
Wad up the carpet in the dye. USE GLOVES and massage the carpet in the dye.
The material:
All material can be bought at walmart
5-8 bottles of rits black dye( 5 does the job write but I used 8 to make sure dammit lol)
32-35 gallon tub ( they call it tub but it just a garbage can)
2 canister of iodized salt. You know the one with the chick in the rain or whatever you can find
Procedure:
get your carpet
gather material
boil water and salt together until it gets really hot and but it the tub. Once the the tub gets about a 1/4 filled mix in all the dye and mix it with a stick or broom handle and put carpet in
Keep boiling water until tub is filled
Let it sit with NONE of the carpet in the air (all submerged) for 4 days outside.
Now, pull out the carpet and lay it flat on the driveway. Grab the garden hose and spray the carpet for as long as it takes until no dye comes out any more and it just water rinsing out
At this point you just let it dry and re-install. I tossed the floor mats in for 4 days after I did the carpet.
& You are done!
