DYLON Fabric Dyes Reviews 

I don’t know why this has so many negative reviews. I can only assume that people have been putting the wrong fabrics or too much fabric in with the dye. I have used these pods at least 12 times. Always come out perfect.

I used a navy Dylon machine dye on khaki dungarees & they came out amazing, then I used a peony pink machine dye on white dungarees & they’re now an awful dirty white colour!
Maybe it depends on the material of the item?!

I should be done by Consumer standards!

This product doesn’t do as it states on its packaging bought Green jet black and it hasn’t even come out Gray just an off white!

Follow the instructions closely!

From the amount of bad complaints and a one star And shock people ever buy this product I wish I’d seen this rating prior to buying it myself and I’m going to add this to my catalogue of companies to boycott

Used sandy beige machine dye on 100% cotton sofa loosecover. Totally ruined. Very patchy colour and it’s covered in blue flecks like a felt pen or biro has leaked. Dylon said it is because of the fire retardant cover on the covers. Rubbish. They didn’t even ask if they were original ones from Tetrad, or replacement. If they were replacement ones they wouldn’t have had retardant on them. The covers are old and pure cotton that have been washed dozens of times. Reading the reviews this happens all the time. Dylon are just not interested. Now we have a sofa that looks horrendous. Would have been better keeping it as it was. Can’t afford to replace them so now we’re lumbered. Thanks a lot Dylon. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

DO NOT BUY!!!!!!
I used this in my washing machine. At the end I used a cup of bleach in the drum as suggested on the packet and ran two empty cycles with only detergent in (one more than suggested) and wiped round the inside of the machine including around the rubber parts. Then I washed bedclothes and clothes and they came out destroyed!!! Black spots all over laundry. Not impressed. After reading other reviews I do not expect this issue to resolve quickly. Hopefully this won't permenantly have destroyed my washing machine. This has been an expensive mistake that I will never make again!

I bought a pod of black machine dye and followed the instructions carefully to brighten up two pairs of faded black cotton work trousers, one of which had three small bleach marks on the leg. After all the "faff", the trousers look as dull as before and the bleach marks are still visible. This was an infuriating waste of money both in terms of the product itself and horrifying amount spent on electricity in trying to clean the washing machine afterwards. I do not recommend this product, it clearly does not work.

Dylon, All in One. Smoke Grey, Pod.
Needed to colour my chef whites to grey. 3 brand new 100 % cotton Jackets. Pre washed . Followed the instructions exactly and I now have 3 Sage green chef jackets. Never dyed clothes before, but didn't want to be wasteful. Might as well have thrown them straight in the bin.

It removed more colour than it added to both 100% cotton and mixed a blended viscose. The tulip did this once, then did it again and again and finally again even on cotton when I learned my lesson not touse this most expensive brand. Realised this is why i must have always had better results with RIT powder and idye natural and poly. I was merely adding more red to reds and it removed the red already in it to a burnt ugly faded red/orange.

Totally disappointed in this is product, paid 30 Dollars for nothing, the clothes look even worse, have patches on it. I did exactly what it said on the instructions but didn't do anything at all. Should have read the reviews before buying. Useless product, waste of money!!!!!!!!!

Used Sandy Beige on pure cotton and linen and both items are covered in blue and pink blotches. I followed the instructions perfectly. Items have now been thrown away. Utter waste of money .

Black dye is not fit for purpose and not of satisfactory quality. Unusable - not what is advertised on packaging and does not match the seller's description, unfortunately. Use the product twice for certainty however it was ineffective on both occasions. Communicate with customer services at Dylon however they were unable to assist in anyway.

Followed the instructions throughout, and Dylon completely ruined my bedding. I made a complain and was told to complete a lengthy form with a number of different photos attached as requested, dylon have ignored me since. Waste of money and time. Steer clear.

I have used Dylon many times on my item with great results but on this occasions the dye turned my grey outfit green! On contacting customer service I was met with someone who didn’t listen and insinuated the fabric was not suitable for dying.
I decided to re dye item black with a good result which rules out the fabric was unsuitable. The Dylon Colour I had was faulty either labelled wrong or colour - Dylon get better customer service advisors!

When I've followed the instructions properly, I've always had great results with Dylon hand and machine dyes. (Hand dye can come out a tad patchy if you don't stir it enough as per the instructions.) My machine has always been absolutely fine after the empty wash cycle instructed - even whites washed in the next load have shown no trace of dye. Looking at all these reviews saying the dye did nothing or was patchy, I suspect instructions are not being followed and a lot of people think they're trying to dye cotton when it's actually polyester or similar. I accidentally tried to dye polyester fabric once and it didn't work at all - because you can't dye plastic-based fabric with home dyes. This is clearly stated in the instructions. I don't normally write reviews, but I've used Dylon products quite a lot and feel they're not being fairly represented here.

Wish I read all the sad reviews before today. Tried to dye 2 items sandy beige and followed instructions to the letter with the all-in-one product. As others have found the result is terrible with the garments covered in blue and pink spots and splotches. I am terrified of the impact on my washing machine now. Is Dylon willing to provide compensation for damages?

I used the sandy beige dye pod on a pair of white linen pants I had made. The end result is a disaster, they turned out a muddy splotchy mauve with bright blue and pink spatters all over them. I did follow the instructions exactly. I'll never buy dylon again. The pods are 35$ each in Australia so it was a very expensive mistake. I still have a few more pods I'm not sure what to do with now. I definitely don't recommend

Brilliant.
My old black jeans which looked grey are now like brand new. Yes there is some dye in the washing machine but I’m going to do a few dark washes which will sort that I think. Looking at the other reviews all I can say is maybe people are not removing the outside wrapper on the pod as I found the instructions for that a bit confusing.

this is the second item i have dyed. I had no luck with the first one but i tried again, with cotton trousers, after doing everything exactly as instructed a complete waste of time there is more black dye left in the machine than on the trousers, no more for me

Bought intense black dylon dye to use on my green cushion covers. Followed the instructions to the letter, the cushions are the same shade of green after using the dye. Don’t waste your money, it doesn’t work
