DYLON Fabric Dyes Anmeldelser 

I used the washing maching dye and it absolutely ruined my jumpsuit. It left speckles of darker dye in 2 large areas on the front of the legs. I contacted Dylon who were helpful to start with, then when they asked for more photo's and information I sent them as asked, Emma blanked me and didn't reply. I sent Emma another email asking what was happening about my claim, again absolutely NO response at all.. I am disgusted and defintely wouldn't recommend. Avoid at all costs. This company don't care about their customers at all.

After a full afternoon of following the instructions to a t, the dress is still as white as it was before the 'dyeing'. Waste of time and money :(

Sadly I am another victim of Dylon Fabric Dyes….wish I had of seen the reviews first!
Attempted to dye a linen dress. Washed the dress, followed all the instructions - ended up with a disaster and a dress that cannot be worn.
I have no idea what or how to fix the problem.

I just used an olive green all in one pod to dye a white cotton dress and under-slip. I’m so disappointed with the results. My dress and slip are covered in tiny navy blue specks. I followed the instructions to the letter, used a long cotton setting I have dyed many clothes before using Dylon machine dye and had excellent results. Never again.

I had to pick a star to leave a review but it deserves nothing!
Picked intense grey to dye my white towels since they were already grey! I can't even describe what came out. Some are grey, yes but with splashes of navy and dark pink! Basically what i thought would give my towels a bit of extra life turned them into something that I would on use for my dog, too bad we don't have one! Never again!
It's not even proper grey it's more like a dirty blue! Oh well .. New towels it is!

I used the intense black hand dye to dye a pair of pale denim jeans and a white denim jacket. I was hoping for a dark grey finish rather than black. I followed the instructions to the letter and both garments turned out blue without a hint of grey. I was really disappointed and contacted Dylon customer service in case there was an issue with the batch. I answered lots of questions about the process I followed and then was told I hadn’t used the right temperature because I used water from the hot tap. Very disappointing and frustrating. I don’t recommend.

Bad product!!!! Don't buying not working

Absolutely useless, followed the instructions, used smokey grey on light green cotton, came out patchy and nothing like grey, washer took hours to clean.... Expensive waste of time! 😡

Dylon machine wash dye doesnt work.
I used the Plum dye which is definitely darker than my garment, and the trousers have emerged exactly the same colour.
I followed all instructions.
My trousers are 100% cotton with no special finish.
This dye is expensive.
I'd like a refund.

NOTE: I don't know why the title is showing unhappy customer, I wrote something different.

I bought a really beautiful white shirt dress but unfortunately it was a bit see-through. I love the fit of it so much that I decided to give the Dylon /washing Machine Pod a go, and went for navy blue. It came out a pretty, vibrant navy blue and I was so pleased that I ordered another capsule in forest green to dye a stained cream top. The colours both came out so beautifully and I will definitely be using these again in future. I will note that the threads were synthetic so they have remained white, but I think the contrast stitching makes the items look unique and more expensive.

I did an experiment when I did the second dye and included a very beat-up hoodie that's a cotton blend. It has actually come out in a really interesting pattern (the hem which must be all cotton is solid and the rest is a washed out green), but shows the problem that some people seem to have reported. This product will only work with natural materials (listed on the packaging); it takes wonderfully to 100% cotton. The other issue might be overloading. I played it safe and did very small loads (1 or items).

It does use a lot of water and is a time-consuming process as you have to wash the clothing item first, then run with dye, then wash the clothes, then run the machine to rinse. I would suggest running machine cleaner after so that the empty wash serves a purpose.

There was zero mess (something I was concerned about) and the few traces of dye that were left on and under the seal I was able to easily wipe away with bleach (I did this after taking the clothes out and before running it empty).

If using the dye make sure:

1. Your item is 100% cotton, linen, or viscose
2. Bear in mind that threads are usually synthetic so they will remain the original colour
3. Set out enough time to do everything (you'll likely be running the machine for half a day)
4. Check the weight of the clothing (if the item is really special I would play it safe and just dye it alone)
5. Use bleach to clean the machine seal immediately after taking clothes out
6. Extra note: if you're dying a new item you still need to wash it first

I'm devastated. I purchased Smoke Grey (pods). I dyed a John Lewis 400 thread count 100% cotton white king-size duvet cover. It weighed 1.2kg so used two pods emptied straight into the drum as per the instructions, having washed the fabric first. I followed the instructions to the letter and when I finally removed the duvet cover from the washing machine it was completely ruined. There are dark black spots and marks, patchy blue stains, purple patches, and completely uneven coverage. I looked on Trust Pilot and 84% of the reviews are 1 star, mentioning exactly the problems I've had. This product shouldn't be on sale, it has completely ruined my duvet cover which was gorgeous quality and only a couple of years old, I simply wanted to change the colour to suit a newly decorated room. Avoid this unless it's something of no value to you or you want your stuff to look like a decorator's dust sheet.

Very disappointed in this product and company! Paid £5 for the wash and dye intense black to dye some white curtains I followed the instructions, and my white curtains are now ruined! Came out a scruffy looking grey with a pink tinge! Turns out my curtains are 100% polyester (I didn’t know this as the label had faded with ironing) so yes I took a chance but my issue is, that there is no clear warning on the packaging that states this product will not only not work with polyester but can/will damage them, as the product has left my curtains a horrible colour that is permanent, and can’t be removed and when I contacted Dylon to complain they wouldn’t even offer me a refund on the £5 I spent on the dye! I now have to buy new curtains at £40 and I’m also out £5! There needs to be a clear warning on the packet to state that this product can damage items if they are polyester! It’s does not state this at all, just says product won’t work on polyester! I also found the helpline staff unsympathetic and argumentative and will not be using Dylon products ever again!

Followed the instructions, my washing machine is now ruined, no matter how many empty cycles I do, the door is stained, dye comes out of the drum, I've tried everything! NIGHTMARE!

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.

Behoorlijk giftig en gevaarlijk spul om thuis een ander kleurtje aan textiel te geven. Dat kleurtje komt er niet goed uit, niet egaal. Heeft behoorlijk veel werk en troep. Afrader voor milieu en jezelf.

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).
