DYLON Machine Dye Instructions

The shade you achieve will depend on 3 things:

1. FABRIC TYPE

• Cotton, linen & viscose will dye to full shade

• Polyester/cotton & polyester/viscose mixes will dye to lighter shade

• Wool, silk, polyester, acrylic, nylon & fabric with special finishes e.g. 'dry clean only', cannot be dyed

2. FABRIC AMOUNT

• One pack will dye up to 600g of fabric (e.g. jeans, bath towel, double sheet) to the full shade & up to 1.2kg of fabric (e.g. double duvet) to lighter shade

• Multiple packs will dye larger amounts to full shade, e.g. 2 packs for 1200g (e.g. double duvet) or 4 packs for 2kg (e.g. curtains)

3. ORIGINAL FABRIC COLOUR

• You can change one strong colour to another (or dye it to a lighter shade) by using DYLON PRE-DYE which lightens before you dye, ready for colour change.

• Otherwise colour mixing rules apply, e.g. blue dye on red fabric gives purple

• Patterned fabric will often still show through

DIRECTIONS

• Weigh dry fabric to ensure you have sufficient dye

• Wash thoroughly, even if new, to remove stains or any dressings that can not be seen

• Wearing rubber gloves, empty full contents of pack(s) into drum (not the soap dispenser)

• Add 500g salt, covering dye powder (only 500g is required for any amount of dye)

• Put in damp unfolded fabric

• Run 40°C cotton cycle (do not use pre-wash, economy or half load cycles)

• When complete, add detergent & run 40°C cotton cycle again

• Remove fabric from machine, add detergent & run empty 40°C cycle to clean machine

• Dry fabric away from direct heat & sunlight

Our promise: This dye won't damage your machine or affect subsequent washes

HELPFUL HINTS

• Use in front loading automatic washing machines. Do not use in launderette machines.

• Don't dye more than half machine's maximum load to avoid crowding which will give patchy results

• Don't use more than five packs of dye at once

• Dyeing may not cover stains, faded areas or bleach marks

• Should any dye be left in machine after dyeing, add cup of bleach to drum, add detergent as usual & run machine empty on 40°C cycle

• After dyeing, wash separately or with similar colours for first two washes to remove any excess dye

• Polyester stitching will not dye
