Instructions for Fixing Colour Using Dyprofix

Dyprofix

Fabric dyes such as Dypro multi-purpose dye are not always colourfast. Colours can fade if the fabric is washed regularly.

If a garment such as a costume used in a play is worn and washed regularly, Dyprofix can help to keep the colours in the fabric looking vibrant.

Dyprofix is available in a 250ml bottle complete with measuring cap. The usage guide is as follows:

Washing Machine Method:

Make sure the fabric is rinsed thoroughly so that any loose dye is removed

Place the damp fabric in the washing machine

For each 500g of fabric, add 20ml fix (1 tablespoon) to the washing machine drum (for dark colour such as black, use twice as much fix)

Run a complete 40 degrees cotton cycle

Dry away from direct sunlight and heat

Bowl Method:
