Oh my....SOrry. I just had all new carpet in the house last year and kept the big pieces they left so will hold on to those babies. Hope it comes out. Let us know. I will keep up with this post.

If you do try to dye it yourself, please post your results. We are moving into a house that has the old gold carpet in the bedrooms, and we can't afford to replace them right now. I'm thinking about spraying them with ritz fabric dye to change the color. I have nothing to lose since I hate the gold - even black would be better!! I won't be trying this for several weeks though so would like to hear how it turns out for you if you decide to dye it. Thanks.

There is a spray-paint for car carpet to match the original colors. Maybe there is one for house carpet as well.

The car carpet one should work equally well on house carpet.

Oh man.. sometimes grands aren't so grand after all.. but they have no idea what they are doing. We have a silly 'accident' song we sing when something unexpected happens.

I think all automatic dishwasher detergent has bleach in it.. I have often used it to remove a stain from something mulit-colored.. You can put it just where you want it and it will definately bleach the stain... (or the carpet if your little one runs with the bottle.)

I had no idea they could re-dye carpet.. I'd be interested in seeing your results too..
