About Carpet Dyeing Classes

Americolor and The Dyers Guild have offered classes in the use of carpet dyes for over 40 years. As a family owned and operated business we have taught thousands of classes in the art of color repair and are leaders in the professional carpet industry.  We have written countless publications, given lectures across the world and have been an integral part of setting the national standards with the IICRC, including writing the first CRT exam. We are the only source for a full education in all aspects of carpet dyeing; including spot, full room, side match, over-dyeing and fine rug restorations. More importantly we have over 100 years of combined experience in performing various color repairs on residential and commercial carpets as well as fine rugs.

Rest assured you have come to the right place for your carpet dyeing education.

Carpet dyes are permanent and being such it is of the utmost importance to have proper training. Knowing the best kinds of dyes to use, the proper color combinations, the correct chemical usage and application techniques will affect the outcome of every color repair job.
