Can this product be used on an oriental rug that might have vegetable dyes?

I don't know for sure. Nothing I've used it on has had a problem with color bleeding or change. It's just a powder you mix with water (and I my case a little bit of alcohol, which helps eliminates it's inherent musty smell). But it's not just what the source of the colors are, it's also the media the colors are bound to. If wool or jute and then heat treated, the vegetable coloring should stand firm. But not necessarily so for acrylic, which does not hold add-on coloring as well.But

I honestly don't know the answer to this question but I suspect that it can. Odormute is an enzyme. If you wanted to be sure of being able to safely use this product in any application you could contact the company that brings it to market, Hueter Toledo,Inc. odormute@gmail.com

For things like this, after getting the company's opinion, you should be careful and test in a less obvious spot. I have used it on a couple of wool needlepoint pillows with cotton velveteen backing (both were vintage and not made by the same person, they were different colors etc) and noticed no damage. But I didn't do a before and after picture.

I used this on a light green carpet and I could not see any discoloration. However, I would thinkit would depend on the fiber as well as the color. Best to contact Allersearch before ordering.

I have only used it on standard off-white carpeting for cleaning up cat hairballs and vomit. After removing as much as I can with a paper towel, I generously spray the area and let it sit 10-15 minutes. I use old white wash cloths to press against the area. The stain is usually gone by this time. It acts like a bleach. If your sissal rug has color, test it on the underside. It might also darken the area as, I believe, sisal is not a fiber, but a type of grass. Only you can decide whether to try it or not. It is a fairly priced option.

I believe anything is possible, but I'd like to get you a specific answer. This belt definitely has the color dyed into the material. I believe that if you tried to paint it, you'd get a greenish hue in your red. I doubt that the red paint would settle into the fibers. Hope this helped.

i would think so and would try it myself. have used it on fine natural fabrics as well as synthetics w/ excellent results. the spray dries to a powder on surface which is then brushed off easily. seems to lift stain w/out deep penetration into fabric. best spot cleaner i have ever used. (like the idea from another reply to use vacuum cleaner to remove powder)

Yes you can, but just make sure to test first to see if the color runs. I used it on my car seat and it took the stain out.

I have used it on both light blue and beige carpets with no problems. I won't use anything else but Simple Green.

It really depends on the carpet fiber, I'm assuming a synthetic. I had great results on polyester clothing, which bodes well. As inexpensive as the product is, I'd suggest trying it on a few carpet pieces/yarn ends. I'm a weaver, so I try lots of different dyes and dye removers. I think it's worth a try. Sue

I can't answer the question since I don't know what would be considered "good" for an Oriental rug. The teeth are shorter than the one I had previously, though.

I don't know, but regardless of where you want to use this product you should try it first in an inconspicuous place to see if the fabric/carpet changes in color. Maybe under a piece of furniture or in a corner? Good luck!

I can't answer that one, I'm afraid. We don't have Stainmaster carpeting. My suggestion is to test an inconspicuous area, such as in the back corner of a closet.

NO! I used it on a completely white wool rug. It did not stain or discolor.

Victoria I have not tried to do that, but since it is a relatively innocuous and non-toxic material, it would be worth a try compared to the usual toxic chemical product sold for cleaning. It's a good idea though just to try it on a piece of carpet where it does not matter if it affects the color, just to make sure it won't do anything you don't want it to.

You can use this product on the two area rugs however there are special cleaning instructions. Just follow the link below and it will give you all of the information you need. Also in relation to the acrylic and polyester rug, the instructions are titled synthetic fibers, but does not go into those two fabrics specifically.

Probably not. It's a pigment, not a dye (not being sarcastic). Look up the difference on Wikipedia--I don't remember offhand.

I don't know why it could not be. It dries quickly and leaves the rug soft. In fact, there is no apparent evidence the product has been used on it.

probably not. you should contact the chemical's manufacturer or a flooring expert. wood stains I think are a different problem because of the materials being treated.
