Confirm the fabric is a suitable natural fiber and was thoroughly washed and damp before dyeing. Ensure salt and dye were fully dissolved and stirred consistently throughout the dyeing process.

Remember that color mixing rules apply. If the fabric had an existing color (e.g., blue or red), the Intense Black dye will mix with that base color. For a true black, dye white or very light-colored natural fabrics. Always consider the original fabric color.

Verify that the fabric is made of natural fibers (cotton, linen, viscose, wool, silk) and does not have any special finishes (e.g., waterproof, stain-resistant) or is not a synthetic material like polyester, acrylic, or nylon.
