How to dye an oriental rug

rugsforthehome.org How to dye an oriental rug 1.Use a laundromat 2.Bleach the rug in cold water 3.If you get the desired shade, or lighten it enough, then immediately dye it.Otherwise, double or triple the bleach, no detergent, and run it again. You may put additional bleach in the compartment where the fabric softener goes, and it will bleach it again on the rinse cycle. To dry it, lay it on a flat surface, turning it occasionally, and avoid direct sunlight, ideally it will be in the shade on a warm, breezy day. If indoors, dry it on an old sheet on a carpet, with a fan pointed at it, again, turning it every hour or two. Done!
