DYLON Washing Machine Fabric Dye Pod for Clothes & Soft Furnishings, Navy Blue , 350g ( Pack of 1)

The DYLON Washing Machine Fabric Dye Pod worked perfectly for refreshing my jeans. It was incredibly easy to use—just pop it in the machine and let it do its thing—with no mess or complicated steps. The colour came out even and vibrant, making the jeans look almost new again. The results were much better than expected, and everything rinsed cleanly with no issues. Purchased from Amazon and arrived exactly as described. A simple, effective solution for giving clothes a new lease of life—highly recommended. 👖✨

Reading some of the more negative reviews, I thought this new approach of chucking in the dye within a container would be problematic. Not so! All in one product (no more kilos of salt to buy) & no more emptying out of the dye into the drum - nice and straightforward with less room for accidents. I've been using Dylon's range of dyes for a few years now and this latest format makes it even more simple than the previous all-in-one pouch. To improve your chances of a consistent result, follow the instructions but be aware dirt or soap residues are the enemies to the dyeing process. So I ensure the wash before dyeing is a thorough one, with no fabric conditioner. You could try using distilled white vinegar as a conditioner replacement (useful when you've run out or for towels that you need to stay absorbent), because it helps by neutralising any remaining soap. Choose the highest spin setting your machine offers to get rid of all of those residues. Then, clean out the detergent/conditioner drawer and run another rinse cycle with just water, selecting the option for 'water plus' if your machine has the function to boost the amount of water used in the rinse process. The aim is to make sure there's nothing but clean detergent free fabric. Place the Dylon pod on top of the freshly-washed well-rinsed damp fabrics and follow the remaining instructions for the experience you've been dyeing to see. 4 wash cycles (cleaning, dyeing, after dye wash, machine clean-out wash) per batch of clothes is a bit energy intensive, so you might want to wait until you've got enough items to rejuvenate or for when it coincides with your scheduled machine maintenance wash and run a limescale treatment during the final clean-out wash killing two birds with one stone, to justify the 'leccy costs. But, it's better than looking scruffy or throwing out garments and your machine will most certainly be free of germs after the whole process. Several cups of tea later... results were uniform colour throughout. I chose the Navy Blue option (the product picture shot isn't that accurate in the colour shade - it appears online as a denim blue). Results were a nice and deep uniform blue to several items all done at the same time (3 pairs of partially faded navy trousers, 2 casual navy shirts that looked a little tatty and a light blue t-shirt). One dye pod was enough to refresh all the garments to look crisp and close to new again without looking artificially over coloured. I was a little apprehensive worried I'd get blotchy results claimed by other reviewers, but following the instructions which state to run on a 40 degrees cotton cycle, the results were as good as Dylon's previous generation all-in-one pouch, minus any dyed fingers. Trust me, the dye powder can get everywhere if it's mishandled, the pod just makes it all nice and simples.

Bought a pair of pale pink cotton trousers about a year ago and suddenly realised recently they were very faded, hardly pink at all. So I bought the peony pink dye to try, rather than chucking the trousers out. Easy to do. Followed the instructions to the letter and they came out a perfectly even dye. Very slight downside is that they are quite a bit of a darker pink than I thought would be the case (looks a very pale pink on the packaging), but at least I won't be worrying about them fading to a boring pinky-beige again.

I used these Dylon Washing Machine Fabric Dye Pods in Intense Black on two pairs of faded black jogging bottoms, and they’ve really brought them back to life. After countless washes, the joggers were looking tired and dull, but one cycle with the dye restored a rich, even black across the fabric. They are 80% cotton, 20% polyester. The process is straightforward: just pop the damp clothing into the drum, place the pod on top, and run a 40°C cycle. No extra salt or detergents needed....Once finished, I ran a rinse cycle with my usual detergent to remove any residue, and the result was excellent. The coverage was very even, with no streaks or patchiness. It’s easy, low fuss, and cost-effective compared with buying new joggers, especially as there was nothing else wrong with them. I put them straight into a normal mid to dark wash after the first use, and they have not bled into the other clothes. Overall, this product is perfect for refreshing faded black clothes. It’s simple to use, gives professional-looking results, and has saved my favourite joggers from being retired too soon. A solid buy for anyone wanting to revive black garments at home. So much easier, than the old fashioned methods.... win win for me!

I love this product for refreshing clothes. I will do this up to two times a year, but mainly after summer when things fade more easily in the sun. Easy to use - just toss in with your clothes on a regular wash, and the amount of clothes they cover is satisfactory - be sure to check weights and materials as per the instructions so as not to be disappointed. The smell in not offensive, and the result is of high dye quality. I find this product very effective and they increase wearability and life in all of my black clothes. There are no patchiness issues if you follow the instructions.

Fantastic! I have two pairs of navy blue hall and landing velvet curtains that were very sun damaged and faded down the sides. I used one pod for each set of curtains, so the washing machine had plenty of room inside the drum to get an even coverage. They came out perfect! Even colour and look like new again. I definitely recommend this product, it's a known make for working well, follow instructions properly as stated and you won't have a problem.

Purchased this to dye a white denim jacket, beige chinos and a pink top a chocolate brown colour. The washing machine technique is really easy and straightforward. Despite leaving a coating of brown sludge on the glass of the machine after the first dye cycle, I was pleased to see a nice even coverage of dye on the jacket and trousers. The pink top didn’t take at all and came out the same colour as it went in, so I’m assuming it must have been a synthetic fabric. A wipe down of the glass with kitchen paper and two further wash cycles cleaned the machine of the sludge. However, although the fabric of the jacket and trousers took the dye fine, the stitching thread didn’t, it must be synthetic. So I am now left with white and beige stitching lines which show up really clearly. This is probably OK for the jacket, but I didn’t really want the stitching lines showing up on the chinos. So, a partial success. Would I do this again? Not if I’m dyeing a light coloured garment a dark colour, unless I can put up with the “contrast” stitching lines.

This was better than the small sachet. Less mess
