DYLON Machine Dye Instructions
The shade you achieve will depend on 3 things:
1.
FABRIC TYPE
• Cotton, linen & viscose will dye to full shade
•
Polyester/cotton & polyester/viscose mixes will dye to lighter shade
•
Wool, silk, polyester, acrylic, nylon & fabric with special finishes e.g.
‘dry clean only’, cannot be dyed
2. FABRIC AMOUNT
• One pack will dye
up to 600g of fabric (e.g. jeans, bath towel, double sheet) to the full shade
& up to 1.2kg of fabric (e.g. double duvet) to lighter shade
• Multiple
packs will dye larger amounts to full shade, e.g. 2 packs for 1200g (e.g. double
duvet) or 4 packs for 2kg (e.g. curtains)
3. ORIGINAL FABRIC COLOUR
•
You can change one strong colour to another (or dye it to a lighter shade) by
using DYLON PRE-DYE which lightens before you dye, ready for colour change.
•
Otherwise colour mixing rules apply, e.g. blue dye on red fabric gives
purple
• Patterned fabric will often still show
through
DIRECTIONS
• Weigh dry fabric to ensure you have
sufficient dye
• Wash thoroughly, even if new, to remove stains or any
dressings that can not be seen
• Wearing rubber gloves, empty full contents
of pack(s) into drum (not the soap dispenser)
• Add 500g salt, covering dye
powder (only 500g is required for any amount of dye)
• Put in damp unfolded
fabric
• Run 40°C cotton cycle (do not use pre-wash, economy or half load
cycles)
• When complete, add detergent & run 40C cotton cycle again
•
Remove fabric from machine, add detergent & run empty 40C cycle to clean
machine
• Dry fabric away from direct heat & sunlight
Dylons promise:
This dye won’t damage your machine or affect subsequent washes
HELPFUL
HINTS
• Use in front loading automatic washing machines. Do not use in
launderette machines.
• Don’t dye more than half machine’s maximum load to
avoid crowding which will give patchy results
• Don’t use more than five
packs of dye at once
• Dyeing may not cover stains, faded areas or bleach
marks
• Should any dye be left in machine after dyeing, add cup of bleach to
drum, add detergent as usual & run machine empty on 40C cycle
• After
dyeing, wash separately or with similar colours for first two washes to remove
any excess dye
• Polyester stitching will not dye |
