Product Information
Full details
This guide is for individuals looking to easily refresh or change the color of their clothes and home textiles. The key benefit is achieving vibrant, long-lasting colors directly in your washing machine. A caveat is that the dye works best on natural fibers like cotton, linen, and viscose, with synthetics only yielding lighter shades. This product offers an all-in-one formula to revive or alter fabric colors, providing intense and durable results while being safe for washing machines.

FAQs
How much fabric can one pod dye?
One Dylon Washing Machine Fabric Dye Pod can dye up to 600g of fabric for a full shade effect.
What is the date on the product?
The date indicated on the product is the manufacturer's date, not an expiration date.
Can I dye pure polyester clothes?
No, pure synthetic fibers like polyester, polyamide, acrylic, and nylon will not take the dye. The dye is suitable for cotton, linen, and viscose.
What happens if I mix synthetic fabrics with natural ones?
If you dye blended fabrics containing synthetics, the synthetic parts will dye to a lighter shade than the natural fibers, creating a marled or lighter effect.
Do I need to use a pre-dye treatment?
A pre-dye treatment (like Dylon Pre-Dye) is recommended if you want to change from one strong color to another, or if you want to achieve a lighter color than the original dye allows.
How do I clean my washing machine after dyeing?
After dyeing, run an empty wash cycle at 60°C with detergent or a cup of bleach to remove any residual dye from the machine.
Can I dye white clothes to black using this pod?
While this pod is Passion Pink, to dye white clothes to a dark color like black, you would use a black dye pod. For significant color changes, consider using Dylon Pre-Dye first.
Troubleshooting
Color is not as expected or too light.
Ensure you are dyeing suitable fabrics. For significantly lighter shades or color changes, use a Dylon Pre-Dye product before dyeing. Check that you did not exceed the 600g fabric weight limit per pod.
Uneven dyeing or spots.
Make sure the fabric was clean and dry before dyeing. Ensure the fabric was not overcrowded in the washing machine drum, allowing the dye to circulate freely.
Washing machine shows color residue after use.
Run an empty wash cycle at 60°C with detergent or a cup of bleach to clean the machine drum and seals. Wipe any visible residue with a damp cloth.
Dye did not adhere to synthetic parts of the fabric.
This is expected behavior. Synthetic fibers generally do not take dye well. The dye will only affect the natural fiber content.
