Product Information
Full details
The Dylon Machine Dye Pod is designed for anyone looking to revitalize faded garments or experiment with new colors, offering a hassle-free, mess-free way to dye clothes directly in your washing machine. Its key benefit is the all-in-one, user-friendly application that delivers permanent color without leaving residue in your appliance. However, users should note that it is strictly formulated for natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, and viscose, meaning synthetic blends or pure synthetics like polyester will not take the dye effectively.

FAQs
Can I use this on polyester fabrics?
No, Dylon Machine Dye Pods are formulated for natural fibers like cotton, linen, and viscose. Synthetics will not absorb the dye.
Will this dye my washing machine permanently?
No, the product is designed to be machine-safe and residue-free when used according to the instructions.
Do I need to add extra salt?
No, the pod contains all the necessary ingredients, including salt, for a successful dyeing process.
Can I use the machine again immediately after?
Yes, once you have completed the recommended follow-up cycle with detergent, your machine is ready for normal laundry.
What happens if I use more than 1.8kg of fabric?
The color result will be very faint or patchy as there is not enough dye to effectively cover that volume of material.
Troubleshooting
Color appears patchy or uneven
This often happens if the fabric was bunched up or overcrowded. Ensure the clothes move freely in the drum during the cycle.
Fabric did not take the color well
Check the garment's care label. If the item is a synthetic blend (polyester/nylon), it will not accept the dye.
Light staining on the door seal
Wipe the rubber seal immediately with a damp cloth and a mild household cleaner to remove any residual pigment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Weigh your dry fabric to ensure it fits within the 600g to 1.8kg range. Ensure items are clean and free of stains.
- Application: Peel off the lid of the pod and place it directly into the drum of the machine on top of your damp fabric.
- Washing: Run a full 40°C cycle. Do not add detergent or other additives during this cycle.
- Post-Dyeing: Once the cycle finishes, run a second cycle with a small amount of detergent at 40°C to clean any excess dye from the machine and set the color.
- Maintenance: While the dye is designed to be machine-safe, always wipe down the door seal immediately after the cycle to prevent any potential staining on the rubber gasket.
