Product Information
Full details
This Dylon Peony Pink Fabric Dye Pod 4-pack is designed for individuals looking to easily refresh or change the color of their clothing and home textiles using their washing machine. The key benefit is achieving vibrant, long-lasting colors with minimal effort. A key consideration is its suitability for specific fabric types; it works best on cotton, linen, and viscose, and blends with synthetics for lighter shades, while pure synthetics will not take the dye.

FAQs
What does the date on the product mean?
The date indicated on the Dylon dye pod is the manufacturing date, not an expiration date. The product is designed for use and does not expire.
Can I use this dye on synthetic fabrics?
Pure synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, or acrylic will not take the dye. It is suitable for cotton, linen, and viscose. Blends with synthetics will dye to lighter shades.
How much fabric can one pod dye?
One Dylon fabric dye pod can dye up to 600g of fabric for a full shade effect.
Do I need to use a pre-dye product?
A pre-dye product is recommended if you want to change from one strong color to another, or if you wish to achieve a lighter shade than the dye offers on its own. It helps prepare the fabric for a more intense or accurate color outcome.
Is this dye safe for my washing machine?
Yes, the Dylon Washing Machine Fabric Dye Pod is designed to be completely safe for your washing machine when used according to instructions.
How should I wash dyed items after the first use?
For the first few washes, it is advisable to wash dyed items separately, as some color transfer may occur. After that, you can typically wash them with similar colors.
What is the best way to prepare the fabric before dyeing?
Ensure the fabric is clean and free from stains. If it's a new item, wash it before dyeing to remove any finishes or sizing that might interfere with the dye uptake.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or patchy color.
Ensure the fabric was evenly distributed in the drum and that the dye pod dissolved completely. Avoid overcrowding the washing machine. Consider using Dylon Pre-Dye for color changes.
Color is lighter than expected.
This can happen with blended fabrics or if the fabric weight exceeds the pod's capacity (600g). For lighter shades on synthetics, ensure they are part of a blend and that the majority is a dyeable fiber. Using Dylon Pre-Dye can help achieve a lighter base.
Washing machine drum has residual dye.
Run an empty wash cycle at 40°C with your regular detergent immediately after dyeing. Wipe down rubber seals with a damp cloth.
Fabric did not dye at all.
Check that the fabric is made of a suitable material (cotton, linen, viscose, or a blend with dyeable fibers). Pure synthetics will not accept the dye.
