She shared how she used the Dylon Dye Pod fabric dye in shade Smoke Grey for the project, which she picked up for a fiver from Wilko.
She explained: “4 tablespoons of the powder with 700ml of warm water STIR IT WELL !!!!
“Put in a spray bottle, spray it on carpet then rub in with your hands using gloves.
“I’d recommend more sprays on thick carpet as ours is thick.”
She said how there was no transfer, and she did it before bed last night but it is already dry this morning and doesn’t feel any different.
The after photo shows the stairs looking pristine and grey, and like it could be straight out of the picture-perfect grey home of cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch.
