Product Information
Full details
This guide is for anyone looking to easily refresh or recolor clothing and home textiles with a classic Jeans Blue shade. The key benefit is achieving vibrant, long-lasting color with a simple, all-in-one washing machine pod. A caveat is that the dye works best on natural fibers like cotton and linen, with synthetics only yielding lighter shades. This product offers an eco-friendly way to update your fabrics.

FAQs
How much fabric can I dye with one pod?
One 350g pod can dye up to 600g of fabric for a full shade effect. For lighter shades or on blended fabrics, you can dye more.
What is the date on the product?
The date printed on the product is the manufacturer's date, not an expiry date. The dye remains effective when stored correctly.
Can I use this dye on colored clothes to make them darker?
Yes, you can use it to deepen an existing color or change it to Jeans Blue, especially if the original color is lighter or a similar hue. For drastic color changes or to dye over a very dark color, consider using a Dylon Pre-Dye first.
Is it safe to use in my washing machine?
Yes, the pods are designed for use in all standard washing machines. It is recommended to run an empty wash cycle after dyeing to clean the machine.
Can I dye clothes by hand instead of using a machine?
These specific pods are formulated for washing machine use. Dylon offers hand-dye formulations for those who prefer hand dyeing.
Will the color bleed after washing?
The color is designed to be long-lasting. However, like any dyed fabric, it's recommended to wash dyed items separately or with similar colors for the first few washes to avoid any potential color transfer.
What happens if I dye pure polyester or nylon?
Pure synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, or acrylic will not be dyed by this product. The color will not adhere to these materials.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or patchy color result
Ensure the fabric was fully submerged in the dye bath and the washing machine drum was not overloaded. Make sure the pod dissolved completely. For future dyes, try adding a little salt (if suitable for your machine and fabric type, check dye instructions) to help the dye fix.
Color is lighter than expected
This often happens with fabric blends containing synthetics. For a deeper shade on blends, you may need to use two pods or a pre-dye treatment. Ensure you didn't exceed the 600g fabric weight limit per pod.
Washing machine has dye residue
Run an empty 40°C wash cycle with a small amount of detergent or a washing machine cleaner. Wipe down the rubber seal and drum with a damp cloth after the empty cycle.
Dye did not adhere to fabric
Verify the fabric type. The dye is not suitable for pure synthetics, wool, or silk. Ensure the fabric was clean and dry before dyeing.
