FAQs
What types of fabric can I dye with Dylon Fabric Dye Pod?
This dye is suitable for natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, and viscose. It will give lighter shades on mixes of these fabrics with synthetics. Pure synthetics like polyester, acrylic, or nylon will not dye.
How much fabric can one Dylon Fabric Dye Pod dye?
One pack (350g pod) will give the full, intense shade on up to 600g of fabric. For lighter shades, it can dye up to 1.8kg of fabric.
Do I need to add salt or other additives?
No, the Dylon All-In-One Machine Dye pod contains both the dye and the salt, so you do not need to add any additional salt or other fixatives.
What temperature should I use for dyeing?
You should run the wash cycles at either 30 degrees Celsius or 40 degrees Celsius for optimal results.
Will the dye stain my washing machine?
No, the dye is designed to be safely used in washing machines without staining. However, it is highly recommended to run an empty wash cycle with detergent immediately after dyeing to clean any residual dye from the machine.
Can I dye black fabric to a lighter color?
Dyeing light over dark will not work. Dye adds color. If you wish to change a dark fabric to a lighter or completely different color, you would first need to use a fabric color remover (not included) before dyeing.
How do I prepare my fabric before dyeing?
Ensure your fabric is clean and damp. Wash it thoroughly before dyeing to remove any finishes, stains, or invisible dirt that might prevent even dye absorption. Do not dry it before dyeing.
Troubleshooting
Fabric color is too light or uneven.
Ensure the fabric was clean and damp before dyeing. Check the fabric weight; one pod dyes 600g to full shade, or up to 1.8kg to lighter shades. For a stronger color, consider using a second pod or dyeing a smaller amount of fabric. Uneven dyeing can occur if the machine is overloaded; ensure adequate space for the fabric to move freely.
Fabric did not dye at all.
Verify the fabric composition. Pure synthetic fabrics (e.g., 100% polyester, acrylic, nylon) will not dye with this product. The dye is designed for natural fibers like cotton, linen, and viscose.
Dye residue in washing machine.
After completing the two dyeing cycles, run an empty wash cycle (with a small amount of detergent) at a high temperature (e.g., 60°C or 90°C) to clean the machine and remove any remaining dye particles. Clean the detergent dispenser drawer and rubber seal manually if necessary.
Dye stains on other laundry.
Always wash newly dyed items separately for the first few washes. This minimizes the risk of any loose dye bleeding onto other garments, although the dye is formulated to be permanent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Prepare Fabric: Ensure your fabric is clean and damp before placing it into the washing machine drum.
Insert Dye Pod: Carefully remove the sleeve from the Dylon color pod. Peel off the lid completely.
Place Pod and Fabric: Place the open Dylon color pod directly on top of the damp fabric inside the washing machine drum.
Run First Cycle: Close the washing machine door and run a full wash cycle at either 30 degrees Celsius or 40 degrees Celsius. Do not add detergent at this stage.
Run Second Cycle: After the first cycle finishes, add your usual laundry detergent to the machine. Run another full wash cycle at 30 degrees Celsius or 40 degrees Celsius.
Clean Machine: To ensure no dye residue remains, run an empty wash cycle (with a small amount of detergent) in your washing machine immediately after dyeing.
Compatibility:
Suitable Fabrics: This dye is specifically formulated for use on natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, and viscose.
Synthetic Blends: Fabric mixes containing synthetics (e.g., cotton-polyester blends) will dye to lighter shades than pure natural fabrics.
Unsuitable Fabrics: Pure synthetic fabrics (e.g., 100% polyester, acrylic, nylon) will not dye with this product. Wool and silk are also generally not recommended for machine dyeing.
Care:
Post-Dye Wash: After the two dyeing cycles, you can wash your newly dyed item as you normally would. For the first few washes, it's advisable to wash the item separately or with similar dark colors to prevent any potential slight color bleeding, although the dye is designed to be permanent.
Storage: Store unused dye pods in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
