Dyeing polyester curtains isn't a difficult task and can be completed cheaply in your kitchen or bathroom.
Things You Will Need
-
Fill the wash basin or stainless steel sink with hot water. Use one gallon of water for each yard of fabric.
-
Mix in one 16 oz. packet of fabric dye powder. Choose a color that is darker than the current color of the curtains. You can find fabric dye in craft and hobby supply shops.
-
Add the salt and vinegar and stir. These two ingredients will enhance the brightness of the color.
-
Dunk the curtains into the hot, dyed water. Saturate them completely and let them soak for 10 minutes.
-
Use a long plastic spoon to agitate the curtains by twisting them around in the water.
-
Rinse the curtains in cold running water until the water runs clear. Hang to dry.
