Dylon Fabric Dye Pod - Intense Black - 350g

This dye pod is best used on natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, and viscose. It will give lighter shades on mixes of these fabrics with synthetic fabrics.

No, pure synthetic fabrics like polyester, acrylic, and nylon will not dye with this product. Only natural fibers will absorb the dye.

One 350g pod will dye up to 600g of fabric to the full shade (e.g., a pair of jeans). For lighter shades, it can dye up to 1.8kg of fabric.

No, the Dylon Fabric Dye Pod is an 'All-in-One' solution, meaning the dye and salt (fixative) are already combined in the pod. No extra salt is needed.

For optimal results, run your washing machine on a full cycle at either 30 degrees Celsius or 40 degrees Celsius.

No, if used correctly. After the dyeing cycle, run a second wash cycle with detergent and an empty load (or with dark laundry) to rinse any residual dye from the machine.

Yes, the Dylon Fabric Dye Pod is suitable for use in both front-loading and top-loading automatic washing machines. Ensure the pod is placed on top of the fabric in the drum.

Check the fabric composition. This dye is only effective on natural fabrics like cotton, linen, and viscose. Pure synthetics will not dye, and blends will result in lighter shades. Ensure the correct water temperature (30-40°C) was used and that the fabric weight did not exceed 600g for full shade, or 1.8kg for lighter shades.

After the dyeing process, always run a second full wash cycle with detergent and an empty load (or with dark towels) at 30-40°C to clean the machine. For stubborn stains on seals, wipe with a damp cloth and a mild detergent or bleach solution (if safe for your machine).

Ensure the fabric was damp and unfolded before placing it in the washing machine drum. Do not overload the machine; fabric needs space to move freely during the cycle. Check that the dye pod was placed directly on top of the fabric and remained upright during the wash.

This can happen if the original fabric color was not white or a very light shade. If dyeing a darker existing color, the result will be a combination of the original color and the dye. Also, mixed synthetic fabrics will absorb less dye, leading to a lighter, less intense shade.
