simplicol Fabric Dye Intense Velvet Black | Easy washing machine dyeing | Liquid dye & fixing powder | 1 pack, 150 ml liquid fabric dye + 400 g fixing powder with salt

I have used simplicol machine dyes 4 times (different colours) in the last year. As long as care is taken to follow the instructions e.g items cotton or of other natural origin, weighed (dried weight), washed and spun first no conditioner etc etc I have found them v easy to use. Yes, the washing machine rubber ring gets stained (wipe it down before you dye and again as soon as you can after the process). No I wouldn't do a white wash as my next proper wash 'just in case'. Yes, their colour guidance is pretty spot-on (check dylon 'mango orange' photos if you want an example of two very different colour oranges - from the same pack it would seem! Of no use to the dyer at all..) I am now in the marketplace again for dye. I shall stick with simplicol... P.S one problem that applies to ANY dye. If the stitching on your garment is a polycotton blend (often) that will not dye to the depth of colour that the rest of your garment does. It's v annoying but there's little you can do about it. Should it be 100% polyester stitching (common again) then it won't dye at all and you'll have original colour stitching (white?) with, say, a dark blue material.. Frustrating.

I've had the worst result with this dye. I normally purchase dylon but for some reason the prices on Amazon have escalated for dylon. Therefore, I tried the above product on an expensive pure linen blouse. The result was disastrous. It's left the blouse patchy. The colour is uneven and I will no longer be able to wear the blouse. I followed the instructions precisely but despite that the result was horrid. I only dyed one blouse so would have assumed the colour would have dyed evenly but NO!

Ignore any negative feedback on this product. The finished result will only ever be as good as the condition of the original item. I dyed 2 sofa covers and all the cushions and the results were nothing less than awesome. Do follow the instructions. Weigh them wash your items and use the right amount of dye. Please note that no brand of dye will cover bleach marks or stains. Don't blame the product if this happens. I will definitely use it again. Great colour range. So easy to use.

I didn’t love or hate this product to be totally honest. I have used fabric dyes loads of times but I have always stuck to the more commonly known UK brand. By comparison I thought the instructions were not particularly clear, it was only when it was already mid wash that I saw in other reviews that people have recommended to puncture the capsule to allow a more even colour outcome so that was irritating. Colour wise it was a decent result albeit more of a blue / grey than I expected but it was a relatively even final colour. On the whole I would probably stick with my usual brand in future but not a bad purchase.

I used this to redye a cream cotton dress I had attempted to dye violet with a Dylon 'pod'. Unfortunately the Dylon dye hadn't fully dissolved so I was left with a violet dress covered in blue speckles of various shades. Tried a dye remover but that had no impact at all so I decided to try making it darker. The Simplicol dye was much, much easier to use and quicker because it works in a 40 degree easy care cycle. The result was slightly darker than I had anticipated (hence the four stars) but it is completely even and I can wear the dress again. Washing machine just needed a run on a short cycle afterwards to make sure it was clear of residue. Would definitely use this again.

I've used this dye, just put the dry fabric in the washing machine, I put in just over 700 gm of fabric (the instructions say 600 gm for best results) and the white cotton has come out exactly the colour on the box. It was very easy to use, Other machine dyes that I have used have said to put damp clothes in to dye, Simplicol does not specify this which makes it easier, although it does say to wash before use if the fabric has had fabric conditioner used on it, I guess that this may prevent penetration of the dye. The plastic bottle of dye just has to have the top taken off and the whole thing goes in the machine on top of the fabric, along with the packet of salt which just needs to have the top of the packet cut open. I set my washing machine for a regular 40 degree wash (no pre-wash) and like I said, i'm very happy with the results. A quick wash recommended after dyeing to make sure no residue on the fabric or the machine. There is no chemical smell and the dye is non toxic.I will certainly buy this product again.

This is a fantastic product. I used it to dye a cotton dress which had become discoloured from either deodorant or sunscreen stains. I was apprehensive about using it in a fairly new washing machine, but took the risk. It was well worth it and coverage is superbly even. The marks have gone and it has given a much-loved dress a new lease of life. No residue in the machine as long as you clean out the rubber seal with kitchen roll. I’ve done a white wash since and no problems at all. Will definitely use this product again and have already recommended it to friends.

Bought this to dye my sofa cover as it stated it could be able to. Used two packs on it according to the weight advised on pack. During the wash it looked like it had a good covering all over. But at the end of the load the colour appeared to have wash off completely. On examination I noticed random staining on my cover where it had dyed in random streaks but not very well. I then noticed that the fixative (salt packs) were still full, despite me cutting along the lines as advised in the instructions. Very unhappy with this product. Once washed it appeared back the exact same colour it started. Would not recommend

Einfach nur easy ☺️ Ich habe damit drei Oberteile eingefärbt, die verblasst waren. Sehen wieder super aus, alles super.

Chloorvlekken krijg je er niet mee weg

Compré esa marca de la tinta ya tercera vez y me mola el color y fácil de usar

Ich habe in einer Industriewaschmaschine (für 8 kg) Bettwäsche gefärbt, 2 Garnituren plus noch ein paar Kleinteile, also die Maschine war ca 3/4 voll. Dafür habe ich 2 Packungen Farbe genommen. Das Ergebnis ist perfekt geworden, keine Flecken, der Farbton entspricht der Abbildung. Der abgebildete Bettbezug war vorher nicht weiß, sondern hellgrau gestreift. Am besten ist es, die Wäsche vorher zu waschen und die Farbe dann zur nassen Wäsche dazugeben, so vermeidet man Flecken. Und reine Baumwolle färbt sich natürlich am besten. Leichte Verfärbungen am Waschmaschinengummi gab es allerdings, das meiste davon ließ sich gleich nach dem Färben mit einem Microfaserlappen entfernen , aber ein wenig sah man es noch.

Ich habe zum ersten Mal Bettwäsche selbst gefärbt in der Waschmaschine und muss sagen, dass ich zunächst durch einige negative Bewertungen etwas Angst hatte meine Waschmaschine sprichwörtlich zu versauen. Allerdings kann ich dies nicht bestätigen. Die Farbe ist wie abgebildet, dass Ergebnis einfach nur klasse. Im Anschluss an den Färbevorgang habe ich die Bettwäsche nochmals durchgewaschen, im Anschluss daran den Gummi der Maschine abgewischt und die Waschmaschine nochmals leer durchlaufen lassen. Die darin befindlichen Farbfangtücher haben sich nicht verfäbrt, also hätte ich mir den Leerlauf der Maschine eigentlich sparen können. Ich habe zwei paar Kissen und Bettbezüge auf einmal gefärbt und hierfür einen Doppelpack Farbe verwendet. Perfektes Ergebnis. Durch unsere Begeisterung haben wir gleich noch eine andere Farbe bestellt und werden das nächste paar Bettwäsche färben.
