How to Dye Sofas

- 2). Mix the dye with water in a plastic storage tub, according to the specific instructions on the dye box.
- 3). Remove the upholstery from your sofa and dip it into the dye solution. Leave the upholstery in the dye for about two hours, again depending on the instructions on the box.
- 4). Take the upholstery out and rinse it in the sink with cold water until it runs clear. Wring it out to get rid of all the excessive water.
- 5). Hang the upholstery up to dry outside or in the basement, and put newspaper underneath to catch any excess water. Check to see if it is completely dry in a day or so, depending on the climate.
- 6). Attach the upholstery back onto your sofa.
