Dylon All-in-1 Dye Pod - Fresh Orange

No, the Dylon Fabric Dye Pod is specifically formulated for natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and viscose. Pure synthetic fabrics like polyester, acrylic, and nylon will not absorb the dye.

One 350g pod can dye up to 600g of fabric to a full shade or up to 1.8kg of fabric for lighter, pastel shades. Ensure you weigh your fabric for best results.

No, the Dylon Fabric Dye Pod is an all-in-one formula. The pod contains both the dye and the necessary salt, so you don't need to add anything extra.

You should use a standard cotton wash cycle at either 30°C or 40°C. Do not use an economy, pre-wash, or short cycle.

No, if used correctly, the dye will not permanently stain your washing machine. After the dye cycle, always run a second full wash cycle with detergent and the dyed fabric to rinse out any excess dye and clean the machine. Any visible residue can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

No, this dye adds color. You cannot dye a darker fabric a lighter color, such as turning black fabric Fresh Orange. For best results, start with white or light-colored fabrics. If dyeing a colored fabric, the original color will mix with the new dye, potentially creating a different shade.

No, this machine dye is not suitable for delicate fabrics like wool and silk. These fabrics require specific hand-dyeing methods to avoid damage.

Ensure the fabric weight did not exceed the recommended 600g for full shade, or 1.8kg for lighter shades. For best results, use the dye on 100% natural fibers like cotton. Uneven dyeing can occur if the machine is overcrowded; ensure there is enough space for the fabric to move freely during the cycle. Make sure the fabric was clean and damp before dyeing.

Verify the fabric composition. This dye is only suitable for natural fibers (cotton, linen, viscose) and will not work on pure synthetic fabrics (e.g., polyester, acrylic). Also, ensure you used a full 30°C or 40°C wash cycle and not an economy or pre-wash program.

After the dyeing process, always run a second full wash cycle with detergent and the newly dyed fabric to rinse excess dye. If residue remains, wipe the drum, door seal, and detergent drawer with a damp cloth. Running an empty hot wash cycle with a cup of bleach (if safe for your machine) can help clean thoroughly.
