      Gunna to this as well. Probably going to try and find early carpet with the separate padding so i can use a smaller trash can.

          they have many colors also and can be found at walmart around 2 bucks or so each bottle.
          cleaning stuff for the carpet can be bought at a 99cent store

              I have only seen powder, but really it shouldn't matter. Just mix the powder with almost boiling water

                  I don't think the same method would work for our carpets because we could not fit it in a large garbage can due to all the foam backing. We would have to use a bathtub and even then it might not work.

                  I'm trying to figure out a method of dying my carpet the correct way but it seems I'll either have to get a new carpet the color I want or use the spray dye (paint).

                      It has to be completely submerged from what I've read and the E30 carpet has Styrofoam surrounded by foam and can't be folded.
