Dylon Washing Machine Fabric Dye Pod Intense Black, 350g, Packaging May Vary

I bought this 'Espresso Brown' dye with the intention of dying two old cotton throws, each of which was approx 1.2m square, and which had previously been dyed bright orange several years ago. The total dry weight of fabric was about 1.6kg, which is greater than the maximum weight stated for one pod of dye, but all I wanted to do was to tone down the existing colour. I had expected that I might end up with a sort of terracotta shade, but wasn't really too concerned about the end result, so figured that it was worth a punt using a single dye pod. I gave the throws a quick pre-wash to leave them damp and then followed the pack instructions, emptying the contents straight into the machine drum as indicated for larger quantities of fabric, and putting it through two full cotton cycles, with detergent added in the second cycle. The end result is an even coverage, and the shade is a rich 'chocolate' brown, not much lighter than the shade indicated by the manufacturer, which was surprising given the excess weight of fabric I was using. There was no staining left behind in the machine or on the door seals, despite the alarmingly dark colour during the process. All in all the product was easy to use and produced better results than I expected. My only criticism is that the instructions are printed on a long narrow strip of paper in tiny letters less than 1mm high, and are in white on a black background, which makes it very difficult to read. My eyesight is fine for reading most things, but even with reading glasses on I also needed a magnifying glass to read the instructions properly.

I bought in Navy Blue to dye some curtains, and I’m really pleased with the result. I used two pods per curtain panel, and it gave a great even dye with a lovely rich colour all over. The navy came out deep and consistent, with no patchiness, and it really refreshed the curtains beautifully. Overall, it was easy to use and gave a strong, professional-looking result. I’d definitely use it again for larger fabric projects.

I remember the days of boiling up our dyes with tons of salt so this has impressed me greatly for the ease of use. I took care with the instructions. I checked the wash cycle. I was dying 100% cotton bedding (to de-grey the house). It worked really well and the green took nicely over tones of pale grey - you could just still see the pattern through but I rather liked that. However, results are variable - the next things I dyed were also 100 cotton, but the colour took quite differently. I then pushed my luck and dyed a pair of curtains from the same range (also 100% cotton). Worried that they would come out different shades if I did them separately as the other items had done, I was keen to wash both together, but even though I used 3 packs for that attempt I pushed my luck on the amount of fabric in the machine and it came out uneven (streaks of darker tones across where the fabric must not have unfolded in the machine). I did pause the machine part way through and moved the fabric by hand to try to mitigate this - achieving nothing but a green hand lol. I'm not too unhappy with results - it's made an inexpensive change to my bedroom colour theme, but not one thing matches even though I used the same dye, and when the curtains are closed the uneven streaks show, so if you're determined to have everything the same shade this may not be the way to go for you. So - overall, fabulous, especially for single items. But not without issues to be mindful of if you're shade matching, which may be a big deal for some people.

Amazing product I would highly recommend it!! I had some faded blacks which looked charcoal and worn, they all now look dark black, and are even and uniform. I put 3 dresses (Tshirt / stretch) fabric items in the cycle along with a pair of jeans, so 4 items in total. They all look brand new and back have been brought back to life! I will definitely be purchasing and using again in the future. Go-Dylon-Go 👏

Dyed 5 pairs of navy chinos as they were starting to fade, easy to do, no mess. Came out as good as new.

Did not change the color at all and I followed the directions.

غاليه ومبتعملش حاجه عن تجربه انصح بسبغه اليد افضل

it's a good dye for washing machine clothes dye but make sure the volume of items is low, max. 2-3 items in order to do a good job.

Wie immer perfekt
