   only proper way to do it is fill your bath with bleach hahaha put the carpet in till its nearly white then wash it loads and loads and loads with hose pipe (outside) let it dry for a good week or so then buy your dye fill the bath up and put the carpet in (only thing is) you will fk ur bath up lmao. so maybe a cleaned out oil drum might do the job or maybe get a proffesional to do it.
