- Synthetics such as rayon and nylon
- Fiber blends with at least 60% cotton or other dyeable fiber
- Weigh dry fabric to check that you have sufficient dye. Wash thoroughly, even if new, to remove stains or dressings which may not be visible to the eye. Leave damp.
- Wearing rubber gloves, empty full contents of pack(s) into dry drum (not soap dispenser).
- Add 500g of salt, covering area where powder was added (only 500g of salt is required regardless of the number of packs of dye).
- Put in damp, unfolded fabric.
- Select and run a 40ºC cotton programme (do not use prewash, economy, quick wash or half load cycles)

Factors that affect the colour results
The current colour of the fabric
The colour result will depend on the different colours mixed. For example, dyeing a green shirt with a Tulip Red DYLON Pod, will give a brown result. Please see the colour mixing guide on the left.
The type of fabric
Cotton, linen and viscose are perfect for dyeing. Synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon won’t dye. Mixes of synthetics with cotton, linen and viscose will achieve a lighter shade of the colour.
The weight of fabric
One pod is enough to dye 600g of fabric to the full shade or up to 1.8kg of fabric to lighter shades. Use multiple packs to dye larger quantities. It is recommended to use the whole pod in one go.
