FAQs
Can I use Dylon Dye Pod on pure synthetic fabrics?
No, Dylon Dye Pods are primarily designed for natural fabrics like cotton, linen, and viscose. Pure synthetic fabrics such as 100% polyester, acrylic, or nylon will not absorb the dye.
How much fabric can one Dylon Dye Pod dye?
One 350g Dylon Dye Pod will dye up to 600g of fabric to a full, intense shade. For larger loads, up to 1.8kg, it will produce lighter, more pastel shades.
What temperature should I set my washing machine to?
For optimal results, set your washing machine to a 30°C or 40°C full cycle. Do not use economy or pre-wash settings.
Do I need to add salt or dye fixative?
No, the Dylon Dye Pod is an all-in-one formula, meaning all necessary components for dyeing are contained within the pod. You do not need to add separate salt or dye fixative.
Will this dye stain my washing machine?
If used according to the instructions, including running the recommended second wash cycle with detergent and an empty hot cycle afterward, the dye should not permanently stain your washing machine.
Do I need to wash the fabric before dyeing?
Yes, ensure your fabric is clean and damp before starting the dyeing process. This helps the dye penetrate evenly.
Can I dye a mix of natural and synthetic fabrics?
Yes, you can. However, the dye will primarily color the natural fibers, resulting in a lighter shade of Ocean Blue compared to dyeing 100% natural fabric.
Troubleshooting
Color is uneven or patchy.
Ensure fabric was damp before dyeing. Do not overload the washing machine, as this can prevent even dye distribution. Pre-wash fabric to remove any finishes that might resist dye. For best results, use only one dye pod per load.
Color is much lighter than expected.
Check the fabric composition: pure synthetics will not dye, and natural/synthetic blends will result in lighter shades. Also, verify fabric weight: one pod gives full shade to 600g of fabric; loads up to 1.8kg will be lighter. Ensure the water temperature was 30C or 40C.
Dye residue in the washing machine after use.
Always run the recommended second wash cycle with detergent immediately after the dye cycle. Additionally, perform an empty hot wash cycle with a small amount of detergent after dyeing to thoroughly clean the machine drum and seals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
Prepare Fabric: Ensure your fabric is clean and damp before placing it into the washing machine drum. Do not overload the machine.
Insert Dye Pod: Remove the outer sleeve from the Dylon Dye Pod. Carefully peel off the lid completely. Place the open pod upright on top of the damp fabric inside the washing machine drum.
Run Dye Cycle: Close the washing machine door and run a full cycle at 30°C or 40°C (do not use an economy or pre-wash cycle).
Run Second Cycle: Once the dye cycle is complete, remove the empty dye pod. Add your usual laundry detergent to the machine and run another full wash cycle at 30°C or 40°C to rinse the fabric and clean the machine.
Clean Machine: For best practice, run an empty hot wash cycle with a small amount of detergent in your washing machine after dyeing, especially if dyeing dark colors, to ensure any residual dye is flushed out.
Fabric Compatibility
Suitable For: Cotton, linen, and viscose.
Lighter Shades On: Blends of natural fabrics with synthetics (e.g., cotton-polyester).
Not Suitable For: Pure synthetics (e.g., 100% polyester, acrylic, nylon), wool, silk, or fabrics with special finishes (e.g., waterproof, dry-clean only).
Post-Dyeing Care
After the second wash cycle, your newly dyed fabric is ready to be dried as usual.
For the first few washes post-dyeing, it's recommended to wash the dyed item separately or with similar dark colors to prevent any potential slight color bleeding onto other garments.
