DYLON Fabric Dyes Reviews 226

Really disappointed with Dylon. Completely ruined two brand new tops which are now patchy all over. They look tie dyed. Never had this issue with Rit.

have used dylon before with no problems,decided to dye my white cotton duvet cover the sandy beige,wish I hadnt ,I followed the instructions to the letter and it came out with blue and pink spots all over it.Absolutely ruined.

Oh I wish I read the reviews! Followed the instructions on the pack and after running the cycle with washing powder I was all excited to see my new bed clothes, I could have cried, the colour I’d chosen was sandy beige, what I ended up with a d dark brown. All tiny dots of pink, blue and green, my expensive M&S cotton duvet is ruined

Our washing machine is less than 2 years old. I dyed a pair of jeans black using the pod, followed the instructions on the packaging. I ended up with a batch of white with black sprinkles all over it and after 8 empty loads with boiling water, detergent, washing machine cleaner, bleach, pink stuff and soda I still have black residue coming up into the drum after every wash. I am clearly not the only one as there are a lot of people with the same experience. Dylon refusing to accept any responsibility.

Works as suggested on two black Carhartt trousers, no blotchiness and has restored them to almost new condition.

Wish I had read these reviews before purchasing as well! Absolute waste of money. Does NOT work at all, unless you want to buy many many pods and use them at once, then the results may be patchy as well. I am left with a ‘chewing gum grey’ jacket that should apparently be a vibrant passion pink! My jacket is ruined and I’m out of pocket for the product and all the electricity it takes to use the washing machine to follow the instructions. Won’t be buying this product ever again. Don’t waste your money like we all did!
UPDATE… having used my washing machine on empty long cycles at 40 degrees and long cycles at 60 degrees and also twice on warm rinse washes, I am still left with stained pink rubber inside and dye residue that rubs off from inside of machine with bleach wipes. I can’t risk anything pale. Shocking. Will never use again.
Currently running yet another hot long cycle to try to rid the machine of the dye!!! (Can’t imagine how much it’s cost me in electric when I was trying to save money by reviving an old light jacket).

I completely agree with all the other 1 star reviews. I wished I could give 0! Never used the all in 1 pods before and never will again. Smoke grey. A joke. I followed the instructions to the letter. My 2 tops are covered in light grey speckles. My already light grey leggings and joggers (just for a freshen up) are no different what so ever. An expensive waste of time. Do not buy. From reading reviews about their terrible customer care, I'm not going to bother complaining either. Shameful.

I used the color “jeans blue” that completely destroyed my jeans that was intended to look more like “70’s jeans blue”. Dylon “jeans blue” is a kind of NAVY BLUE! So disappointed and RIP my beautiful jeans

I should have read these reviews on trustpilot before wasting money on 2x expresso brown dye pods which I purchased and used on a cream coloured duvet cover & pillow covers.
They came out all patchy with black specks and stains all over. Items are completely ruined.
Safe your money!

Does not work at all. Complete wast of £8.50.

Don't go near these dyes. I ruined several pieces of clothing I wanted to upcycle after following the instructions carefully. I let Dylon know and filled in the long form they sent me with pictures. 3 weeks in and I followed up but no response at all. There's a lack of communication about the limits of the dyes and customer service is terrible.

An absolute disaster. After using Dylon dye as instructed to overdye a handknitted wool jumper, the sleeves came out totally different shades. I complained to Dylon in an effort to get my money back and they put me through the effort of sending them pictures and filling out a form, only to then not bother at all getting back to me. Since the company was sold to Henkel, contemptuous customer service seems (if the other reviews are anything to go by) to have become the leading ethos at what was once a reliable British brand. I am very angry at having spent 16 Euros for a disastrous result.

I have been using Dylon machine dyes for over 25 years. Since they changed it to the pod, (as opposed to emptying the dye straight into the washing machine drum) I have had nothing but very poor blotchy results. It just DOES NOT WORK. I've now got two ruined two pairs of trousers and two ruined pairs of shorts. I'm really disappointed as dyeing clothes is a good way to preserve clothing and give them a longer life. Just do not know what Dylon is doing but I won't be buying it any more. Sort it out Dylon!

Like so many others I have used both a hand dye and an all-in-1 pod and ended up with little speckles. I thought the hand dye speckles were my fault, so attempted a machine pod on the item and one other, but ended up with speckles on both garments.
The load was under 500g, the instructions followed carefully, and now I have dozens of speckles.
I have used Dylon machine and hand dyes for many years, with no problems, but this is the first time I tried an all-in-1 pod, and it will be the last.

Bought Dylon dye for the washing machine. Followed the instructions TO THE LETTER. Linen dress ended up with blotches all over it - literally ruined. Dylon asked for the most ludicrous amount of information before they could process my complaint, including the age, make, model etc. of my washing machine. I furnished them with this information on 15 August. I followed up on 6 September, 14 Sept and again just now as they have not responded to a single email other than the first one. HENKEL. A renowned, reputable German brand. Look into it; they make all kinds of things. I suggest you think very carefully before buying their products, as they have absolutely no concept of customer 'aftercare'.

Having used Dylon for many years in the past successfully and before they changed their colours, products and packaging to today's plastic pods, I was horrified at the results now achieved on a pure cotton shirt and a cotton/linen throw, which both came out with brown stains, though instructions precisely followed! I complained and filled out the form sent to me with information, photos, as requested. A month and a half later, I still have had no reply from them, except asking me to fill out the form again, though I have proof of already doing so!
Dylon, if you want to restore faith in your products, and their packaging and expand your business, you must take your customer concerns seriously and treat them with the respect they deserve!

Dyed a top( jack wills hoodie so not cheap) followed instructions to the letter, investigated by Dylon when I raised a complaint. They recommended I buy more of their products to fix the damage at my own expense. Would never buy again and would not recommend. Now I have a top I can no longer use and Dylon take no responsibility for damage. Just recommend more of their products.

I have you Dylan machine dye many times years ago so I know what I am doing. I dyed 1 pair of cotton trousers followed the instructions and when you look closely at the dyed fabric I can see the dye is all speckled and patchy. The trousers are now ruined. I will never do this again. Terrible product. One pair of trousers should not come out like this! I wish I had read the reviews on here before doing this!

Purchased the smoke grey fabric dye (hand wash) to revive an old sweatshirt (light beige, 100% cotton). Followed the instructions to a tee and it emerged an awful dark red/mauve colour?! Attempted to wash some of it out by using the hottest cycle on my machine but no luck, now I’m stuck with it. A treasured item of clothing RUINED. Based off these reviews, I won’t even bother trying for a refund.

Dyed my daughter's old prom dress which was white. Went to a ball and so many people asked me about the dress, I ended up putting it on social media so they could see how I did it. Plus, I threw two tops in the same mix and tie-dyed a couple of t-shirts.
