FAQs
How much fabric can I dye with one pack?
One pack of Dylon Wash and Dye is designed to dye up to 600g of fabric.
Can I use this product on synthetic fabrics?
While it works best on natural fibres like cotton, linen, and viscose, results may vary on synthetic fabrics. Always check the fabric content first.
How do I prevent the dye from staining the washing machine?
The dye is designed to be contained within the fabric. However, it's advisable to run a rinse cycle after dyeing to ensure any residual dye is removed from the machine.
What temperature should I wash the dyed fabric?
Wash the dyed fabric at 40°C in subsequent washes to maintain the colour.
What if I want a lighter shade?
If you're aiming for a lighter shade or changing from a dark to a light colour, it's recommended to use pre-dye before dyeing.
Do I need to use any special detergent?
Use your regular laundry detergent when rinsing the fabric after the dyeing cycle.
Is the colour permanent?
Yes, Dylon Wash and Dye provides permanent colour results that are designed to last through multiple washes.
Troubleshooting
Uneven colour distribution after dyeing.
Ensure the fabric is fully submerged and not overcrowded in the washing machine. Consider using pre-dye for even results.
Colour fading after washing.
Make sure you used the correct settings (40°C cotton cycle) and rinsed the fabric thoroughly after dyeing. Avoid drying in direct sunlight.
Staining on hands during the process.
Always wear rubber gloves when handling the dye powder and the dyed fabric.
