DYLON Fabric Dyes Reviews 

Should be minus actually.
I used the Dylon pods as they are advertised on the TV to restore colour. Instead it took the colour off my khaki jeans and my beige coloured skirt and completely ruined them.
When I complained to Dylon and sent them photos they just said I had not used a cotton wash, but nowhere on the packet of pods does it say to use a cotton wash????
I am now going to write to Trading Standards as they should not be allowed to advertise this on TV if it does not work.
DO NOT USE THESE PODS.

No star really. I’m usually an avid fan, but do not purchase sandy beige…please. You will cry at the result. Clearly it’s a faulty batch or something. Ruined my bed sheet

dye of fabrics is not easy, specially faded items cannot be restored, better use pre-dye before or purchase white items to start with.
grey, olive and black dye is more easy for better results, getting blue specs is due to uneven distribution of the powder in modern washing machines, I had mixed results for clothing and used extensive bleach and dye cycles to get the wanted result, dye of leather shoes is more satisfying
advice to dylon, produce liquid pods to get rid of these uneven spots.

Dylon is not as it used to be. I’ve used it for years, always been happy. The last 3 pods I’ve bought have simply not done the job. Followed the instructions to the letter, weighed fabric (all under the recommended weight), colour just does not take. Perhaps the formula has changed but I have to agree with the majority 1star reviews. Will buy an alternative next time as this stuff isn’t cheap.

Excellent products,keeps old things interesting.

Gave one of the in washing machine pods a try, didn’t have much hope for the results but to my surprise they have perfectly dyed the black jeans back to black.

I followed the instructions on the package and can genuinely say that the results were perfect.

FYI use the correct amount of dye for your project, weight of your clothes is important, just weigh them first, I washed on the cotton setting and turned up to 60 degrees

Have just ordered some more

Thank you for bringing life back into some expensive pair of jeans

It's all a lied, in 10 washed your clothes look like new.big fat lied ,waste of money and very expensive.

If I could put a 0 reviews star here I would. Their advert misleading. Waste of moneys

Contacted Dylon after the washing machine pod dye that I used, left a large streak of dye darker than the rest of the fabric. I have used the same dye product previously on a duvet cover exactly the same and wanted my other duvet cover the same. I haven’t had a problem previously however their response was that it was a fault with the cotton content of the fabric, the weight of the fabric etc etc. basically excuses. Won’t use them again!

Why does your advertising campaign only include people with an extremely low BMI?

Dylon fabric dyes was designed for a time when washing machines filled with loads of water and the material 'swam' in the water/dye liquid. Nowdays, washing machines use only a very small amount of water which results in a very concentrated solution that tends to splash into the door seal staining it and leaving a residue that's very difficult to get rid of. I realised it was going wrong right at the beginning when the pod bounced up and deposited half the dye right against the door then water splashed up and washed it down into the door seal.

I'm now on my third 'cleaning' wash and having just read up about it all I've realised I'm going to have to manually clean the door seal (right down the bottom where things collect) with bleach then run a hot cycle with bleach.

Also, I've realised that between the cost of the dye and all the hot water washes I've spent more dying the stained sweater than it would have cost to bin it and buy a new one.

I recently used three packets of Dylon in Navy Blue to dye a new wool mans cardigan which was a mustard colour. I washed the cardigan as instructed and left damp. I used three sachets of nylon with 250g of table salt with each packet as instructed that is 750g in total.
I had already emailed Dylon to enquire if I should use 250g for each packet used as the cardigan weighed 700g. Therefore I would need three packets. I did exactly as the instruction said on the packet and stirred throughout for an hour. The cardigan cam out the same as it was before dyeing it. This was a complete waste of time and money and it did NOT work at all of WOOL. I had originally bought a bigger carton but then read that this one was not meant for wool but the smaller packets which I bought from Dunelm were for wool. I had sent TWO emails last week to Dylon to ask if I needed three times the volume of salt as I was using three packets. NO REPLY from them at all. The hand dye cost me £10.95 and £1.80 for salt. I would say to anyone not to use this product for wool as it does not work at all. I await Dylon to contact me. This is a genuine review.

Have used these pods for years sticking strictly to the instructions re fabric weights, machine settings etc. Perfet results ever time. So surprised to see so many negative reviews. It's my go to brand if want fuss free successful dyeing in my machine.

Do not buy Dylon. It simply doesn't dye. They used to be good, but the machine pods really do not dye or the coverage is poor.

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!
