Suitable for Front and Top Loading Washing Machines

 

  • Create brilliant new looks or refresh the colour of much loved items in a few easy steps, giving permanent results you can be proud of.
  • Dylon Machine Dyes won’t stain the washing machine and results won’t run in the wash.
  • Suitable for dyeing 500grams of cotton, linen and viscose to full colour shade up to 1kg to lighter shades. Lighter shades also achieved on polyester mix e.g. cotton/polyester.
  • Not suitable for pure synthetics, wool, silk, polyester or fabrics with special finishes (e.g. dry clean only). Final colour will depend on the original fabric colour and type.
  • Colour mixing rules apply, e.g. red dye on blue fabric gives purple.
  • Some articles may contain polyester stitching which will not dye.
  • Colour results vary between top and front loading machines due to the amount of water used.
