Dylon Washing Machine Fabric Dye Pod for Clothes & Soft Furnishings, 350g – Deep Violet

I died two canvas Ikea chair covers purple with Ritt dye years ago. They had faded to an ugly grey purple. I wanted to re-dye them but dreaded the pot on stove, add salt, mess. Saw these pods online and wanted to try them. I used one pod per chair cover. I dyed each chair cover separately (in part bc I ordered one pod to try and only ordered another when it worked). I was afraid it wouldn't work because I have a front loader. But when you read the directions, these pods are from the UK and designed for front loaders. It was so easy. Just follow the directions and run an empty cycle after to make sure your washer is clean. Very happy with results.

Did exactly as it was supposed to. Color is almost identical when compared to finished product

Rich true color. Be sure to do 2 soap washes after dyeing and wash with “like” colors

Not as bright as pictured but the dye was really easy to use.

I got the color I wanted, exactly. Purple is hard to get to work right and is usually too light so this was exactly the color I wanted.

Horrible results. I tried this with a cotton eyelet dress that I wanted to dye darker...from a light rust brown to dark purple. Except for the label and a few blotches on the dress it's still rust. Thankfully I paid more for the dye than the dress but I am not happy. Won't repurchase or recommend to others.

Sorry. Did not work on the hat I had.

Very disappointed that the dyeing process didn’t work at all despite following the instructions. Might try again without putting it through my washer to try and get it to actually stick. :-(

Bara att stoppa in kapseln i tvättmaskinen. Blir snygg o täckande färg. Färgade 3 par capribyxor o 2 t-shirtar samtidigt o blev supernöjd med resultatet. Tvättade det jag färgat direkt efter färgningen i 40 grader o torkade sedan av gummidetaljerna vid luckan o körde en snabbtvätt utan någon tvätt i maskinen o sedan var maskinen fri från något som skulle kunna missfärga annan tvätt. Det ända som inte var så kul var att jag fick vänta på färgen skulle komma i 3 veckor, så man får räkna med lång leveranstid. Men eftersom färgningen blev så bra, så var det ändå i slutändan värt väntan.

Dyed the fabric well. Easy to use. Looks good. But not colour fast, colour does leek, my white underwear has now got blue dye on them that won't come out. The dyed item has been washed several times too.

Works well. Had a dressing gown/bathrobe that got ‘bleached’ by benzoyl peroxide and had made a purple colour pink on the colllar. This has even out the colour on the collar and spruced up the overall dressing gown. In structions were a bit unclear, says to place in front loader machine ‘unwrapped with the lid removed’. I didn’t want to put in the plastic wrapping, so I took it off and just placed the pot with the lid removed. The item needed a wash which was done in a normal load, then a wash with colour pod, another wash to clean any remaining colour. Then an empty load to wash the machine, I put in washing soda. So 4 washes in total. There was no smell and overall I was pleased with the coverage. I think a second dye would make it perfect but for me it’s not worth the cost. I would recommend.

Turned out great! Even color and the desired shade I wanted for two shirts using one Pod! I used one Pod for two long sleeves shirts, They are both mixed fabrics: - The deep purple shirt is 93% Viscose, 7% Elastane, this one was already purple in color but faded, hence it is now deep purple after dyed. - The lavender shade shirt is 95% cotton and 5% spandex, it was off white color pre dye and I am happy with the finished result. Tips for successful dye with this product : - wash garments/fabrics thoroughly pre dye, with no trace of dirt or washing detergent left, after wash only leave garments/fabrics damp enough but not soaking wet. - followed the exact instructions provided on the leaflet top of the Pod the next steps. - after dye, on the second step of washing garments/fabrics with detergent, it is useful to use couple of color catcher to absorb the excess dye on the machine and materials. - when run the machines on an empty cycle last as instructed, also put in color catcher sheets to absorb the dye left in the washing machine. This will prevent color from dying clothes when next use for normal wash.
