DYLON Fabric Dyes Reviews 226

Dylon tv advert is pointless and makes no sense - do you have to wash the item if clothing ten times in Dylon for the colour to get back to the original colour or do you wash it ten times before it fades - what a waste of time……..fire the ad company!!!

Useless. Hasn't even touched the blankets and cushion covers I wanted it too. Well and truly annoyed. Not like it's cheap either

Not even worth 1 star.
The black washing dye has completely wrecked the seel on the washing machine.
The dye is stuck in all the groves of the seel and I cannot remove it.
I will now have to pay for it to be replaced.
Avoid this product like the plague

Ruined cotton bedding - don't buy! I followed the instructions to the letter having bought 2 packs of Peony Pink - allegedly a light blush pink. I used it to dye some faded bedding (had been light pink but faded). The pillow cases came out bright pink and the duvet cover is patchy - ranging from light pink to bright pink. I'm furious as this was expensive piglet in bed bedding and is destroyed now.

The dye just doesn't dissolve/disperse properly.

I used a Dylon smoke grey machine dye pod on a pair of jeans (71% cotton, 27% viscose, 2% spandex). They started life as pale grey, but had faded to almost white. The resulting colour is a lovely mid-to-dark grey as shown on the pod. The coverage is very even. The detailed instructions say not to use "water saving", but my machine does not allow me to disable this feature. So I used the stain program to lengthen the wash time, and added an extra rinse at the end. I hope this this helps those who have had poor results. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is because the detailed instructions are very small and difficult to read!

Absolute waste of time, money, detergent and electricity, £6.60p in Asda, they bang on about how good it is on the adverts...... its soooooo not, wouldnt care but I read the reviews after I'd been bought it. My wife followed the instructions to the letter on the in wash pod and the item came out exactly the same colour it went in, don't be mugged off as so many others (including myself) have been

Extremely disappointed. Used olive green Dylon dye for tasing machine to dye a cotton suit that had faded. Came out with small dark spots all over ruined. Avoid!

Have just finished trying to dye my Tilley bucket hat from original "stone " colour to"sandy beige " which is not a big change but it came out with blue specs all over it , just as reported by others. £ 70 hat is not looking good. Not impressed with Dylon

Used the black hand wash dye on a black garment that had faded and the difference after following the instructions to the letter is absolutely minuscule. Not worth the effort at all.

The navy machine dye worked great on a stained white duvet cover and 2 pillowcases. 100%cotton. I had the fabric soaking wet before running a 40 degree cotton wash with the dye and then a second cycle with detergent. Came out an even navy colour.

Not worth even 1 star. Washed a T shirt as there were some decoloration due to bleach but after trying to dye with this product the results were same as before not a single percent change in fabric color.

Zero stars if I could!!
Twice now this product has ruined my material, patchy and two different colours
And no the drum was not full
Never ever using this again 😡

Dylon products used to be good. Many towels & items have been recoloured over decades in our house. I’ve spent almost £50 now trying to dye 6 towels from sand to cappuccino brown - I’m left with 6 towels that I can only use for the dogs!!! After the uneven brown & grey patches (?) emerged after the 1st wash cycles I decided to buy yet more Dylon dye and go black! More expense wasted as well as good towels! My poor washing machine!!! I will NOT be using any DYLON products ever again - I’ll give items away on freecycle instead - Dylon are utter rubbish!

I”m extremely disappointed in the Dylon navy blue hand wash dye. I have used them in the past with success so I tried dying an olive green denim jacket navy blue only to find that it came out a muddy grey, streaky and other areas hardly touched. Followed the instructions to the letter and will never use them again. Waste of money and a good jacket.

Have to agree with others here. Have used the Intense Black machine pod to dye faded Black jeans and the result on several occasions have be 1 hit wonders as colour does not hold after 1 wash. Used today from a pod bought from Morrisons and the result was uneventful, a simple waste of money and electricity. I also notice the pod instructions say to wet the garment prior, but on the Dylon website it demonstrated the item goes straight in the machine with pod. I wont be wasting my money on Dylon anymore... Some local market/handy stores are selling the pods at £9.99 (SMH). Will be trying the Rit Dye now

Bought three of the ‘Sandy Beige’ and it turned everything a horrid pink colour!
Awful! I am hoping the colour will fade with washing. Thank goodness I didn’t dye all the items I was intending to and only used one of the dyes. Rest will be returned!

I ordered this fabric dye for my hair extensions and it did nothing to them apart from cling to the clips and lace of the wig - not normally the one to complain but was annoyed at spending my money on something that did nothing

Used Dylon before multiple times and never had issues. Recently bought the black dye and only turned the item a dark navy, purchased a second dye and rewashed the item and it didn’t change colour at all. Have just washed a white top with the sandy beige dye on a 40c cotton wash for nearly 4 hours and it’s come out patchy as the dye hasn’t taken to an all cotton item. Quality has drastically dropped on this product I would avoid at all costs.

EDIT

As previously mentioned on another review after the final wash there is little blue dots all over the top, now ruined. Won’t be using again

I felt rather smug reading negative reviews. I have used dylon dyes in the past,and decided to dye a new white cotton skirt,(sandy beige) seemed fine when I took it out of the machine and then noticed all the BLUE SPECKS have put it back for another wash cycle.
HERES HOPING

Wish I could rate less than 1star, what a waste of money. We spent £8 on this rubbish trying to get the right colours back into my article of clothing (white) ,never buy this product as they are liars saying that it works. Sorry for the people working for them but I hope it folds up soon for ripping normal people off for using them. What a crap firm, I'm surprised Robert Dyass even puts they're name to them. Save your money and ask around.
