Launder the fabric with 50 g (1/4 cup) gentle washing powder on a cool water temperature.

Don a pair of rubber gloves. Fill a container with 474 ml (2 cups) of warm water. Pour the package of Dylon dye into the water and mix with a spoon.

Fill a sink or bath large enough to hold the fabric with 5.7 litres (1 1/2 gallons) of warm water. Pour 5 tbsp salt into the water and mix until dissolved. Carefully pour the dye into the mixture and stir with the spoon.

Place the fabric into the dye and submerge it completely in the water. Use your gloved hand to stir the fabric and dye together.

  • Place the fabric into the dye and submerge it completely in the water.

Let the fabric soak in the dye for 45 minutes and stir frequently. Remove the fabric from the dye and place inside a clean bath or sink filled with cool water. Rinse the fabric for several seconds in the cool water.

Launder the dyed fabric in a warm water temperature with gentle washing powder. Remove the fabric immediately from the washing machine and air dry.

TIP

Make sure the dye is dissolved completely. If not, dark specks of the undissolved dye will show up on the fabric. Launder the recently dyed fabric separately for two to three washes. This will prevent excess dye from damaging other clothing.
