DYLON Washing Machine Fabric Dye Pod for Clothes & Soft Furnishings, Smoke Grey, 350 g (Pack of 1) (Packing May Vary)

Lovely colour. Used on some whites that had become less than brilliant white.Easy to use, much easier with machine dye and great results.Will be making sure I have some of these pods to hand in future.My single pod dyed 1 king size flat sheet.1 king size fitted sheet.1 adult t shirt.1 child's top.2 pillowcases.2 yards of cheesecloth fabric.Edit: I should add that I have a 10kg drum in my washing machine. So the items put inside to dye, did not exceed the required half full drum. The items need sufficient room to freely rotate in the drum to ensure even coverage.

Use these pods quite regularly. Have used to refresh colour of clothing and also to dye items a darker colour. Easy to use and work really well if you follow the instructions.

I remember the days of boiling up our dyes with tons of salt so this has impressed me greatly for the ease of use.I took care with the instructions.I checked the wash cycle.I was dying 100% cotton bedding (to de-grey the house).It worked really well and the green took nicely over tones of pale grey - you could just still see the pattern through but I rather liked that. However, results are variable - the next things I dyed were also 100 cotton, but the colour took quite differently.I then pushed my luck and dyed a pair of curtains from the same range (also 100% cotton). Worried that they would come out different shades if I did them separately as the other items had done, I was keen to wash both together, but even though I used 3 packs for that attempt I pushed my luck on the amount of fabric in the machine and it came out uneven (streaks of darker tones across where the fabric must not have unfolded in the machine). I did pause the machine part way through and moved the fabric by hand to try to mitigate this - achieving nothing but a green hand lol.I'm not too unhappy with results - it's made an inexpensive change to my bedroom colour theme, but not one thing matches even though I used the same dye, and when the curtains are closed the uneven streaks show, so if you're determined to have everything the same shade this may not be the way to go for you.So - overall, fabulous, especially for single items.But not without issues to be mindful of if you're shade matching, which may be a big deal for some people.

I dyed my white jeans with this dye in washing machine. Overall, the colour is even and a bit deeper than expected. It doesn't dye the nylon thread though, so stitches remained white. But still looks great and I am happy with it!

Thank you. Great product, ready mixed with salt and easy to use in washing machine. Leaves clothes really soft, especially jeans and gives new life to dull clothes. It doesn't smell in the carton and I can't comment on the finished product smell as I use conditioner in my wash. Great dye!! Thank you!

So, bought this to dye some towels and a light coloured top. Colour took well, although I got a wierd round dark circle, shape of colour pod on my sweatshirt, where it had sat, even tho no dye on base...wierd.You have to do a empty drum was afterwards but this does not clear the residue in the door rubber. It's mucky and annoying.

Reading some of the more negative reviews, I thought this new approach of chucking in the dye within a container would be problematic. Not so! All in one product (no more kilos of salt to buy) & no more emptying out of the dye into the drum - nice and straightforward with less room for accidents. I've been using Dylon's range of dyes for a few years now and this latest format makes it even more simple than the previous all-in-one pouch.To improve your chances of a consistent result, follow the instructions but be aware dirt or soap residues are the enemies to the dyeing process. So I ensure the wash before dyeing is a thorough one, with no fabric conditioner. You could try using distilled white vinegar as a conditioner replacement (useful when you've run out or for towels that you need to stay absorbent), because it helps by neutralising any remaining soap. Choose the highest spin setting your machine offers to get rid of all of those residues. Then, clean out the detergent/conditioner drawer and run another rinse cycle with just water, selecting the option for 'water plus' if your machine has the function to boost the amount of water used in the rinse process.The aim is to make sure there's nothing but clean detergent free fabric.Place the Dylon pod on top of the freshly-washed well-rinsed damp fabrics and follow the remaining instructions for the experience you've been dyeing to see.4 wash cycles (cleaning, dyeing, after dye wash, machine clean-out wash) per batch of clothes is a bit energy intensive, so you might want to wait until you've got enough items to rejuvenate or for when it coincides with your scheduled machine maintenance wash and run a limescale treatment during the final clean-out wash killing two birds with one stone, to justify the 'leccy costs. But, it's better than looking scruffy or throwing out garments and your machine will most certainly be free of germs after the whole process.Several cups of tea later... results were uniform colour throughout.I chose the Navy Blue option (the product picture shot isn't that accurate in the colour shade - it appears online as a denim blue). Results were a nice and deep uniform blue to several items all done at the same time (3 pairs of partially faded navy trousers, 2 casual navy shirts that looked a little tatty and a light blue t-shirt). One dye pod was enough to refresh all the garments to look crisp and close to new again without looking artificially over coloured.I was a little apprehensive worried I'd get blotchy results claimed by other reviewers, but following the instructions which state to run on a 40 degrees cotton cycle, the results were as good as Dylon's previous generation all-in-one pouch, minus any dyed fingers. Trust me, the dye powder can get everywhere if it's mishandled, the pod just makes it all nice and simples.
