I have a 6'x9' sisal rug with a 1" cotton black border that has been faded by the sun in places. The sisal still looks great, but the border looks grayish and dull. Is it possible to dye it at home without going to a rug professional?

Dip it in india ink. (Art supply) Squeeze out well the excess. Let dry out good. This is permanent. Use rubber gloves and be careful not to get on other parts of the rug. Do this outdoors to be safe.
Try on a small portion FIRST to make sure this will work on your material.

i would not use a showering gadget. Get a #10 washtub and use that fairly than danger no longer being waiting to get each of the dye out of the gadget. to guard black outfits, wash basically with different darkish hues. Use a colour secure detergent. yet, right this is the genuine secret...do no longer positioned them in the dryer! Dry the products flat to assist them preserve their hues and length. i've got have been given a black Harley t-blouse it somewhat is 4 years previous. the colour continues to be vividly black.

shoe polish brushed on the border should help it a lot. That is the easy way.
