For information on how to dye polyester, please see "Dyeing Polyester with Disperse Dyes".

Polyester can be dye-painted with iron-ons made with disperse dye, or immersion dyed by boiling it with disperse dye and a chemical carrier. Neither technique seems very adaptable to dyeing a carpet. Carpet dyeing is best done by professionals for two reasons: the fibers are often synthetic, and any uneveness of color is apt to be a problem.
