FAQs
What types of fabric can I dye with Dylon Fabric Dye Pods?
These dye pods are best suited for natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, and viscose. Fabric mixes containing synthetics will dye to lighter shades, and pure synthetics will not dye at all.
How much fabric can one Dylon Fabric Dye Pod dye?
One 350g pod will dye up to 600g of fabric to the full shade. For larger quantities up to 1.8kg, you will achieve lighter, pastel shades.
Do I need to add salt or a separate fixative?
No, Dylon All-In-One Machine Dye pods contain both the dye and the salt, so you do not need to add any additional ingredients.
What washing machine temperature should I use?
For optimal results, run the wash cycle at either 30°C or 40°C.
Will the dye stain my washing machine?
It is unlikely to stain permanently. After the dyeing process, simply run an additional empty wash cycle with detergent to clean your machine. For extra measure, you can run another empty cycle with a small amount of bleach.
Can I dye fabric that is already colored?
Yes, you can. However, the existing color of the fabric will mix with the new dye, potentially creating a new shade. For best results when changing a fabric's color significantly, it's often best to dye a lighter colored item or use a color remover first if you want the exact shade from the pod.
Can I use this dye for tie-dye or other manual dyeing techniques?
No, this product is specifically designed as an 'All-In-One Machine Dye' for use in a washing machine and is not intended for hand dyeing or specialized techniques like tie-dye.
Troubleshooting
Fabric did not dye to the expected full shade.
Check the fabric weight; one pod dyes up to 600g to full shade, but only up to 1.8kg to lighter shades. Also, verify fabric composition; blends with synthetics will result in lighter shades than pure natural fabrics.
Color is uneven or patchy on the fabric.
Ensure the fabric was clean and damp before dyeing. Do not overload the washing machine drum, allowing enough space for the fabric to move freely and absorb the dye evenly during the cycle.
Fabric did not dye at all.
Confirm the fabric's composition. Dylon dye pods are formulated for natural fabrics (cotton, linen, viscose). Pure synthetic fabrics (e.g., 100% polyester, acrylic) will not absorb the dye.
Dye stains inside the washing machine after use.
After the dyeing process, run an additional empty wash cycle (30°C or 40°C) with your regular laundry detergent. For stubborn stains, a small amount of bleach can be added to the empty cycle, following your washing machine's guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
Prepare Fabric: Ensure the fabric you intend to dye is clean and damp. Distribute it evenly inside your washing machine drum.
Add Dye Pod: Remove the outer sleeve from the Dylon dye pod. Carefully peel off the lid completely.
Place Pod: Position the open DYLON color pod directly on top of the damp fabric inside the washing machine drum.
Run Dye Cycle: Close the washing machine door and run a full wash cycle at either 30°C or 40°C. Do not add detergent at this stage.
Run Cleaning Cycle: Once the dye cycle is complete, run another full wash cycle at 30°C or 40°C, this time adding your usual laundry detergent. This helps to set the dye and clean the machine.
Final Steps: Remove the dyed fabric. For detailed instructions on your specific fabric type and machine, always refer to the leaflet included with your Dylon pod.
Compatibility
Suitable Fabrics: Cotton, linen, and viscose.
Mixed Fabrics: Fabric blends containing synthetics (e.g., cotton-polyester) will dye to lighter shades, as only the natural fibers absorb the dye.
Unsuitable Fabrics: Pure synthetic materials (e.g., 100% polyester, acrylic, nylon) will not dye.
Care & Post-Dyeing
Machine Cleaning: After dyeing, it's recommended to run an empty wash cycle with detergent and possibly a small amount of bleach to clean your washing machine and ensure no residual dye remains.
Washing Dyed Items: For the first few washes, wash dyed items separately or with similar dark colors to prevent any potential color transfer.
