Q Can I dye fabric white? A It is not possible to dye a fabric white. Q Can I dye denim? A Yes, Machine Fabric Dye or Wash & Dye are best for dyeing denim however you will loose the light dark contrast typically associated with denim. Q What do I do if I don't know what the fabric is? A Cut a small section from an inconspicuous area e.g. the hem and send it to us and we'll let you know. Q Can I dye faded items? A Yes but you should use DYLON Pre-Dye first to remove the colour from the fabric and insure that you get an even colour. Q Why do I need to use salt? A You need to use salt with all DYLON dyes except Wash & Dye (it's already in Wash & Dye) because it opens up the pores of the fabric and allows the dye to be absorbed. Q Will dyeing affect subsequent washes in my machine? A No, just make sure that you follow the pack instructions. Q Will dyeing stain my machine? A No, just make sure that you follow the pack instructions.
