Simplicol Textile Dye Intense (18 Colours), Elegant Grey 1817 2 Pack: Easy Dyeing in The Washing Machine, All-in-1 Complete Pack, 1854, 2 Pack

First off beware, instructions say use two boxes per load, I didn't know this until I came to dye the items I wanted to colour so I had to buy a second box. Pack contains 1 packet of dye and 1 bottle of colour fixer. Easy and straightforward to use and I am happy with the results on most of the dyed items. However packet says it will dye every fabric combination. It doesn't! One item I wanted to colour was 100% man made fabrics and the colour didn't take so be careful if you want to dye viscose for instance. Other than that it's a stunning colour and I'm very happy.

I've had the worst result with this dye. I normally purchase dylon but for some reason the prices on Amazon have escalated for dylon. Therefore, I tried the above product on an expensive pure linen blouse. The result was disastrous. It's left the blouse patchy. The colour is uneven and I will no longer be able to wear the blouse. I followed the instructions precisely but despite that the result was horrid. I only dyed one blouse so would have assumed the colour would have dyed evenly but NO!

I have used simplicol machine dyes 4 times (different colours) in the last year. As long as care is taken to follow the instructions e.g items cotton or of other natural origin, weighed (dried weight), washed and spun first no conditioner etc etc I have found them v easy to use. Yes, the washing machine rubber ring gets stained (wipe it down before you dye and again as soon as you can after the process). No I wouldn't do a white wash as my next proper wash 'just in case'. Yes, their colour guidance is pretty spot-on (check dylon 'mango orange' photos if you want an example of two very different colour oranges - from the same pack it would seem! Of no use to the dyer at all..) I am now in the marketplace again for dye. I shall stick with simplicol... P.S one problem that applies to ANY dye. If the stitching on your garment is a polycotton blend (often) that will not dye to the depth of colour that the rest of your garment does. It's v annoying but there's little you can do about it. Should it be 100% polyester stitching (common again) then it won't dye at all and you'll have original colour stitching (white?) with, say, a dark blue material.. Frustrating.

I didn’t love or hate this product to be totally honest. I have used fabric dyes loads of times but I have always stuck to the more commonly known UK brand.By comparison I thought the instructions were not particularly clear, it was only when it was already mid wash that I saw in other reviews that people have recommended to puncture the capsule to allow a more even colour outcome so that was irritating.Colour wise it was a decent result albeit more of a blue / grey than I expected but it was a relatively even final colour.On the whole I would probably stick with my usual brand in future but not a bad purchase.

Easy to useItems turn out as expected

I've used this dye, just put the dry fabric in the washing machine, I put in just over 700 gm of fabric (the instructions say 600 gm for best results) and the white cotton has come out exactly the colour on the box. It was very easy to use, Other machine dyes that I have used have said to put damp clothes in to dye, Simplicol does not specify this which makes it easier, although it does say to wash before use if the fabric has had fabric conditioner used on it, I guess that this may prevent penetration of the dye. The plastic bottle of dye just has to have the top taken off and the whole thing goes in the machine on top of the fabric, along with the packet of salt which just needs to have the top of the packet cut open. I set my washing machine for a regular 40 degree wash (no pre-wash) and like I said, i'm very happy with the results. A quick wash recommended after dyeing to make sure no residue on the fabric or the machine. There is no chemical smell and the dye is non toxic.I will certainly buy this product again.

Used to dye a super king flat sheet bought online allegedly olive green but was nothing like. Rather than pay to return I thought I’d dye. I too was wary with other reviews but I am very pleased with the result. I would recommend running an empty wash with detergent afterwards though as there was a small amount of residual dye around seal of door. Or wash a dark load afterwards.

I had one big yellow cotton beanbag cover that was fading. So bought a two pack of this.Did the first one through the washing machine as instructed and it came out looking exactly the same.So, I thought maybe it was something to do with my washing machine, maybe it had dumped the water that had the dye in it or something?Used the 2nd pack and did it as a hand dye in a bucket - surprise surprise, it came out exactly the same.I guess this dye is only for adding colour to white garments?Utter rubbish - avoid.

nach Anweisung verwendet - hat genau das getan, was auf der Packung steht - keine unangenehmen farblichen Auswirkungen auf die direkt folgenden Wäschen in der benutzen Waschmaschine - gefärbtesKleidungsstück hält Farbe auch nach mehreren Waschgängen - bin vollauf zufrieden

Sehr schönes, gleichmäßiges Ergebnis von Bettwäsche (Tuchent und Polster), intensive Farbgebung. Anwendung ist supereinfach! Gerne wieder.

Für helle Hose zu färben. Sehr gut, immer wiedet

Ich habe 2 Farben ausprobiert - funktioniert nach Anleitung hervorragend- tiefe schöne Farben - gefällt mir sehr sehr gut das Produkt

Al ser el tinte líquido cubrió muy bien
