Setup and Use Instructions:
- Ensure your fabric is clean and pre-wetted. For best results, wash the fabric beforehand and leave it damp.
- Place the entire Dylon Fabric Dye Pod, without opening or breaking, directly into the washing machine drum.
- Add the pre-wetted fabric on top of and around the pod. Distribute fabric evenly to prevent uneven dyeing.
- Run a full wash cycle at 40°C. For delicate items, a 30°C cycle can be used, but 40°C is recommended for best color intensity.
- After the dyeing cycle is complete, run a second wash cycle with detergent at 40°C to rinse the fabric thoroughly and remove any excess dye.
- Remove the dyed fabric and allow it to dry away from direct sunlight.
Fabric Compatibility:
This dye is best suited for natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and viscose. Fabrics made from mixes with synthetics (e.g., polycotton) will dye to lighter, less intense shades. Pure synthetic fabrics (e.g., 100% polyester, acrylic, nylon) will not dye.
Pre-Dye Recommendation:
If you are dyeing a fabric that is currently a strong, dark color and wish to achieve the 'Intense Black' shade, or if you want to achieve a lighter color result from a currently strong color, consider using Dylon Pre-Dye beforehand.
Washing Machine Care:
The Dylon Fabric Dye Pod is completely safe for your washing machine. To ensure no dye residue remains for subsequent washes, run an empty wash cycle (e.g., a hot rinse or maintenance wash) with a small amount of detergent immediately after completing your dyeing process.
