simplicolIntensive (18 Colours) 1804: Easy Fabric Dying Machine – Complete Pack with dye and Fixing Powder, Liquid Powder – Ruby Red (16 x 6.2 x 8 cm

I needed to dye a white long but very light and fine lawn cotton shirt and chose this brand because the colour - Caribbean turquoise - was the closest to what I wanted so I decided to risk it despite the negative reviews.Although the packet seemed to be only in German I discovered after I'd used the dye that there was a small leaflet of instructions in English right in the bottom of the box which would have meant less internet searching if I'd found it before.I have a fairly new washing machine so I was a little concerned about whether there'd be enough water to stop the blotching so many people had mentioned. I was also concerned with the tiny hole that the dye was to come out of but decided to risk it. I did cut the salt bag much lower than the line stated though, just above the salt, making it more like a cup. The dress had already been washed clean without conditioner so I put it in dry and put the dye bottle and fixative carefully on top, set the machine to 40 easy care which is what they state it needs and switched it on. The dye came out of the tiny hole immediately, in fact I was shocked at how fast the water turned Caribbean turquoise, so I left the machine to it and hoped.I gave it a second wash with detergent when the cycle had finished and it came out perfectly. The dye was completely even and the colour was only very slightly paler than the packet. But it was only one very light long shirt and nothing else. I imagine to get deeper colour or if you're dying anything heavier you'll need multiple packets. I could have used two as it came as a twin pack, but I figured the material was so light I wouldn't need to and I didn't.Given how much more ecological and non toxic it is than the main competitor I was very impressed all round even if you can dye far less at once with one pack. If I was, say, dyeing jeans, I'd use at least two packets for a single pair. I can't see it easily covering a throw to the right colour without multiple packets and of course it won't dye synthetic materials as it clearly says. But for cotton or linen this brand will definitely be my go to in future. I love the colour.I did have to wipe the door rim down but that's the same with any dye.

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.

This dye was unfortunately not successful. I'd purchased it to dye a bath sheet becauser the towel had been splashed with bleach. However, not only did it not touch the bleached area but it did not dye any of the towel at all. The only good thing about this dye is that it was easy to use, but I doubt whether I would ever purchase this make again. I'll stick to Dylon even though it is usually a little dearer.

Didn’t work. I weighed my items and was well under the recommendation and also used 2 packs. Only the stitching dyed on the cushion covers.

Unfortunately Simplicol have chosen to copy *ahem* another brand by supplying a plastic container to put in the washing machine alongside the clothes to be dyed. The dye is excellent, the colours vivid and long-lasting, but the single use plastic bottle is an unforgiveable retrograde step. Not only the environmental concerns but one must listen to it clang and bang around in the washing machine drum for two hours while the programme completes. Who thought this was a good idea? Well it isn't. I'm very disappointed, even though the product itself is excellent, the lack of eco-friendliness is such a let down.

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.

super produkt um farben aufzufrischen oder neu einzufärben. habe es schon oft gemacht, hat immer geklappt. würde mir viel mehr fertige farbschattierungen wünschen, denn farben mischen traue ich mich nicht. achtung: spitze u..a. nimmt die farbe nicht an! Da muss man tricksen. das kann ich nicht beurteilen.

Colore molto difficile da trovare.Facile da utilizzare con risultati ottimi

wunderschöne Farbe gleichmäße Einfärbung
