Dylon Machine Dye for use in automatic front loading washing machines. Gives permanent colour to cotton, linen and viscose with lighter shades on polyester/cotton. NOT suitable for pure synthetic fabrics.
One pack of Machine Dye will dye 600g of dry weight fabric to the colour indicated on the pack. Dyeing larger amounts of fabric (up to 1200g) will result in a lighter colour. Also note that dyeing already coloured fabrics will result in the original colour mixing with the dye colour (e.g. red dye on yellow fabric = orange).
Ideal for dyeing larger items such as jeans, towels, bedding and curtains.
Other items you will need: 500g of ordinary salt, rubber gloves. Click any order code for further details, or download a product sheet.
NOTE - For smaller or delicate items, we have the same colours available in Hand Dye.
Dylon Pre-Dye removes colour from fabric so that it is suitable for dyeing to a lighter colour. Will treat all natural fabrics and nylon.
NOT suitable for wool or silk, polyester, acetate, acrylics or fabrics with special finishes.
Formulated for use in automatic front loading washing machines.
IMPORTANT - One box will treat up to 2.5kg of fabric - this is much more than a box of Machine Dye. If buying Machine Dyes as well, you only need one box of Pre-Dye for every 4 or 5 boxes of Machine Dye.

2. After about 15 minutes dissolve the pack contents in 2 litres of hot water and add to machine via soap dispenser. Allow the cycle to finish.

4. The articles are now ready to be dyed.
