DYLON Fabric Dyes Reviews 

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.

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.

Customer service is a joke. Reported that the green comes out lime green after 2 dyes following instructions to the fullest. Just been messed around for 2 months from their customer services after agreeing to refund me in June 22 nothing. Dozens of emails back and forth several asking for Bank and home details even tho they have everything. Such a crap service. Have been dying clothes for years using this product without a complaint. Never will again.

I used a navy blue machine dye which left shirts dyed patchily and spotted. Even after running a second wash and a cleaning cycle a considerable amount of dye was left in the seals and around the door. It's too unreliable to be recommended.

Used Dylon machine wash sandy beige on white overalls and they were covered in blue & pink spots. Filled out complaint form to Dylon - there solution buy their dye remover then another 2 packs of dye! The item weighed between the guidelines on the pack so i am extremely unhappy with both their response and the product! AVOID! I had followed all the instructions on the box so feel they should have taken responsibility for clearly a faulty product.

Used sandy beige and espresso brown, some came out ok but most of my clothes are ruined by blue/pinkish spots and patchy. I am very disappointed do not buy

Used Dylon INTENSE BLACK on a dark blue, unworn jacket. Followed the instructions to the letter. A complete waste of time, effort, money and water. Jacket unwearable as colour very uneven. What galls me even more is that Dylon Customer Services didn't have the decency to answer my complaint (which was backed up with photographs)!
Avoid this product and avoid disappointment and unnecessary expense and time wasting!!!

Tried twice (my first mistake) as looks 100% identical to when it went in both times.....not a HINT of the coiour, i mean white to dark green, surely if instructions are followed to the letter TWICE there would be a 0.2% hint of green🤣🤣 , just an expensive version of DAZ..Good business though guys.....does absolutelyNOTHING it says on the tin and we've paid you for it. 🙈

Used Dylon beige on a pair of light coloured linen curtains to revive colour. Was appalled that after following instructions for machine wash, both curtains came out with blue spots/splodges all over. Have contacted Dylon customer services and was told that my easy care setting on my machine may not have "agitated" the fabric enough! I feel this product is not fit for purpose, has ruined a pair of curtains and was not offered any financial recompense. BEWARE OF THE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF USING THIS PRODUCT!

Used violet dylon dye on white jeans and top. Both are ruined. I followed the instructions to the letter but items patchy violet with blue spots.

After following the instructions to the letter, I have recently dyed a pair of jeans black and was happy with the results. However, I then used half a roll of kitchen paper and nearly a full pack of kitchen wipes to clean the rubber seal and glass door. Several dark loads later, I was shocked to discover black marks on an orange towel, so I then did a bleach wash and a washing machine cleaner product through my machine, followed by several more dark loads. I then decided it would be safe to do a white load but was horrified to see black marks over two new white shirts and several other items. I then rang Dylon to complain and got told to fill in a complaints form that was sent to me. The form itself is totally irrelevant to my complaint so I rang again. I was told I had to fill it all in if I wanted them to solve the problem. Questions on said form included photographic evidence of clothes labels, age, make and model of washing machine, and basically every imaginable fact known to man. It is therefore in my opinion this is purely done so people don't bother, thus saving Dylon the need to pay any form of compensation. I am at least £50 out of pocket, not to mention the extra electricity used and the stress this has caused. Also, I have two dye pods costing me £7 each that I dare not use.
