Dylon Machine Dye Instructions

  · For use in automatic front loading machines only.

  · Suitable fabrics: cotton, linen, viscose and polyester/cotton mixes. Lighter
    shades on polyester mixes because pure synthetics DO NOT pick up dye.

  · One pack will dye up to 500g / 1 lb dry weight fabric. Dyeing larger amounts
    (up to 1250g) will give a lighter colour.

  You will need:
  · 500g / 1lb of salt
    (regardless the number of packs used)
  · Rubber gloves

Instructions:

  1. Weigh dry fabric. Wash fabric thoroughly even if new to remove stains or
     dressings which may not be visible to the eye. Leave damp.

  2. Wearing rubber gloves, empty dye into dry drum
     (not soap dispenser or dispenser ball).

  3. Add 500g/1lb of salt, covering area where dye was added.
     Put in damp unfolded fabric.

  4. Run 60°C colourfast cotton/ fast coloureds cycle without pre-wash.

  5. When programme is finished, add wash powder and run through complete
     hottest programme for the garment, 95°C if possible. If this is less than
     95°C, remove garment when cycle is complete and run a 95°C programme
     with detergent to ensure all dye is removed from machine.

  6. Dry fabric away from direct heat and sunlight. If final wash-off cycle was
     below 95°C, wash separately for first couple of washes to remove any
     excess dye.
