Product Information

Full details

The Dylon Ocean Blue Washing Machine Fabric Dye is ideal for individuals looking to revive faded garments or transform the look of their home decor with ease. This all-in-one pod system offers a simple, mess-free method to achieve vibrant, long-lasting color in your existing washing machine. While it excels with natural fibers like cotton, linen, and viscose, it is important to note that pure synthetic fabrics will not absorb the dye, and synthetic blends will only yield lighter color results.

FAQs

Can I use this on pure polyester fabrics?

No, Dylon fabric dyes are designed for natural fibers and will not dye pure synthetic materials like polyester or nylon.

Will this dye damage my washing machine?

No, when used according to the instructions, the dye is completely safe for your machine. Just remember to run a quick rinse cycle after dyeing.

Does the manufacturing date mean the product has expired?

No, the date on the box is strictly the manufacturing date. The dye does not have a formal expiration date.

How do I switch from a dark color to a lighter one?

You must use a Dylon Pre-Dye product first to remove the existing color before attempting to dye the fabric a lighter shade.

How many pods do I need for a large item?

One pod is sufficient for up to 600g of dry fabric. If your item is heavier than 600g, you will need an additional pod to ensure full color intensity.

Troubleshooting

Color is lighter than expected

This often occurs when the fabric is a synthetic blend or if the weight of the fabric exceeded the 600g recommendation.

Dye stained the washing machine seal

Wipe the rubber seal immediately after the cycle with a cloth soaked in warm soapy water or a small amount of household bleach.

The color is blotchy

Ensure the fabric was damp before being placed in the machine and that the machine was not overloaded, which prevents the water from circulating freely.

Pros and Cons

  • Synthetic blends will only achieve lighter shades than natural fibers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure your fabric is suitable for dyeing by checking the care label. For successful results, follow these steps:

  1. Weigh your dry fabric to ensure it does not exceed the 600g limit per pod.
  2. Place the damp, clean fabric into the washing machine drum.
  3. Peel off the lid of the dye pod and place it directly into the drum on top of the fabric.
  4. Run a full cycle at the recommended temperature (typically 40°C).
  5. After the cycle finishes, run an additional cycle with a small amount of detergent to clean the machine and ensure no residual dye remains.

Note: The date printed on the packaging is the manufacturing date, not an expiry date. The product remains effective indefinitely when stored in a cool, dry place.
