A woman has been left mortified after her attempt at dyeing the carpet in her home went horribly wrong - leaving the fabric, and her walls, completely ruined. Melissa Ashleigh had wanted to change her carpets to a fashionable dark grey, but instead of forking out to have them professionally replaced, she thought she could save herself some cash by dyeing them herself.
In a viral video posted online, the mum hilariously showed viewers exactly why you shouldn't try painting your carpets, as she made a mess of both the fabric and her once-clean walls. Using what appeared to be a carpet cleaner, Melissa sprayed her floors with dye, but the final result was patchy and left her surroundings - and herself - covered in paint.
