What is the best way to dye a couch?

You can't dye upholstered furniture unless you can rinse the dye out thoroughly afterwards. If you use Rit dye and don't rinse extremely well, the dye will rub off onto the clothing of anyone who sits on the couch and ruin it.

Suede-like couches are usually upholstered with polyester microsuede, which will not take any ordinary dye. The only kind of dye that works on polyester is a special polyester dye called disperse dye, which must be boiled with the fabric for an hour. There is no way to dye polyester suedecloth unless you first remove it from your couch.

You can use fabric paint, but it will not save you any money, compared to making your own slipcovers. Fabric paint is much better than dye for upholstered furniture, but it tends to wear off quickly. It will also spoil the soft feel of the suede cloth your couch is made of. See the links below for full instructions, or buy the spray paint that is labeled as being specifically for upholstered furniture.

If you buy a book on how to make your own upholstery, you can get much better results, which will cost no more than the fabric paint would.

Alternative would be slipcovers. See link below.
