DYLON Machine Dye Instructions
The shade you achieve will depend on 3 things:
1. FABRIC TYPE
• Cotton, linen & viscose will dye to full shade
• Polyester/cotton & polyester/viscose mixes will dye to lighter shade
• Wool, silk, polyester, acrylic, nylon & fabric with special finishes
e.g. ‘dry clean only’, cannot be dyed
2. FABRIC AMOUNT
• One pack will dye up to 600g of fabric (e.g. jeans, bath towel,
double sheet) to the full shade & up to 1.2kg of fabric (e.g. double
duvet) to lighter shade
• Multiple packs will dye larger amounts to full shade, e.g. 2 packs
for 1200g (e.g. double duvet) or 4 packs for 2kg (e.g. curtains)
3. ORIGINAL FABRIC COLOUR
• You can change one strong colour to another (or dye it to a lighter
shade) by using DYLON PRE-DYE which lightens before you dye, ready for
colour change.
• Otherwise colour mixing rules apply, e.g. blue dye on red fabric
gives purple
• Patterned fabric will often still show through
DIRECTIONS
• Weigh dry fabric to ensure you have sufficient dye
• Wash thoroughly, even if new, to remove stains or any dressings that
can not be seen
• Wearing rubber gloves, empty full contents of pack(s) into drum (not
the soap dispenser)
• Add 500g salt, covering dye powder (only 500g is required for any
amount of dye)
• Put in damp unfolded fabric
• Run 40°C cotton cycle (do not use pre-wash, economy or half load
cycles)
• When complete, add detergent & run 40°C cotton cycle again
• Remove fabric from machine, add detergent & run empty 40°C cycle to
clean machine
• Dry fabric away from direct heat & sunlight
Our promise: This dye won’t damage your machine or affect subsequent
washes
HELPFUL HINTS
• Use in front loading automatic washing machines. Do not use in
launderette machines.
• Don’t dye more than half machine’s maximum load to avoid crowding
which will give patchy results
• Don’t use more than five packs of dye at once
• Dyeing may not cover stains, faded areas or bleach marks
• Should any dye be left in machine after dyeing, add cup of bleach to
drum, add detergent as usual & run machine empty on 40°C cycle
• After dyeing, wash separately or with similar colours for first two
washes to remove any excess dye
• Polyester stitching will not dye
