DYLON MACHINE DYE

DYLON Fabric Dyes are easy-to-use and completely safe for your washing machine!

All-in-1 formula to revive or change the colour of your clothes and soft furnishings.

This washing machine dye provides perfect, long-lasting and intense colour results.

DIRECTIONS

1. Wear rubber gloves, empty Wash & Dye powder into washing machine drum & add dry fabric

2. Immediately run 40°C cotton cycle without pre-wash or economy setting

3. Add normal washing detergent and run 40°C cotton cycle to remove excess dye from fabric and to clean the machine.

4. Dry fabric as normal, away from direct sunlight & heat

COLOUR SHADE

The shade will depend on 3 things:

1. FABRIC TYPE:

• Cotton, linen, viscose, will dye to the full shade

• Polyester/cotton & polyester/viscose mixes, will dye to lighter shades

• Wool, silk, polyester, acrylic, nylon & fabrics with special finishes, e.g. ‘dry-clean only’, cannot be dyed

2. FABRIC AMOUNT:

• Up to 500g fabric (e.g. 1 pair jeans) will dye to the full shade

• A maximum of 1kg can be dyed, to lighter shades

3. FABRIC COLOUR:

• Colour mixing rules apply, e.g. black dye on red fabric gives burgundy. Patterned fabric will often still show through

HELPFUL HINTS

• Only dye up to 1kg fabric and always use whole pack, no more, no less

• Dyeing may not cover stains, faded areas or bleach marks

• After dyeing, wash separately for first few washes to remove any excess dye

• Should any dye be left in machine, add cup of household bleach to drum, add usual detergent & run machine empty on 40°C cycle

• Remember polyester stitching will not dye

DYLON HAND DYE

DYLON Fabric Dyes for hand use are perfectly suited for smaller items like shorts, vests or socks, and for delicates you’d rather not put in the machine like wool and silk.

For perfect, long-lasting and intense colour results.

Note: You will need 250g of ordinary salt.
