Keep in mind that your dyed item will be lighter than the color displayed on the packet.
If your original item has bleach marks or stains, those areas may not be completely covered by the dye. If there’s bleach marks, you can try bleaching the entire item, but it will lose its original color.
Dylon Pre-Dye is meant to be used in washing machines and not by hand. Run your washing machine for 1-2 empty cycles after using the pre-dye so it doesn’t affect your other clothes.
You can use the dye pod regardless of what type of washing machine you have.
IF your washing machine doesn’t list exact temperatures, use the Warm cycle setting.
If you don’t clean your washing machine, subsequent loads of laundry could become stained with excess dye.
After the first time, you can dry your items as you normally would.
You can iron your dyed items as you normally would.
Hand dyeing is best for small items like shorts, vests, or socks and for delicate items that you don’t want to put in the washing machine.
Wear rubber gloves while mixing the dye since it could stain your skin. Some plastic and porcelain containers may get stained if you use dye in them.
Instead of your hands, you can also use a stainless steel spoon for stirring your fabric.
