DYLON Fabric Dyes Reviews 

Have just finished trying to dye my Tilley bucket hat from original "stone " colour to"sandy beige " which is not a big change but it came out with blue specs all over it , just as reported by others. £ 70 hat is not looking good. Not impressed with Dylon

Used the black hand wash dye on a black garment that had faded and the difference after following the instructions to the letter is absolutely minuscule. Not worth the effort at all.

The navy machine dye worked great on a stained white duvet cover and 2 pillowcases. 100%cotton. I had the fabric soaking wet before running a 40 degree cotton wash with the dye and then a second cycle with detergent. Came out an even navy colour.

Not worth even 1 star. Washed a T shirt as there were some decoloration due to bleach but after trying to dye with this product the results were same as before not a single percent change in fabric color.

Zero stars if I could!!
Twice now this product has ruined my material, patchy and two different colours
And no the drum was not full
Never ever using this again 😡

Dylon products used to be good. Many towels & items have been recoloured over decades in our house. I’ve spent almost £50 now trying to dye 6 towels from sand to cappuccino brown - I’m left with 6 towels that I can only use for the dogs!!! After the uneven brown & grey patches (?) emerged after the 1st wash cycles I decided to buy yet more Dylon dye and go black! More expense wasted as well as good towels! My poor washing machine!!! I will NOT be using any DYLON products ever again - I’ll give items away on freecycle instead - Dylon are utter rubbish!

I”m extremely disappointed in the Dylon navy blue hand wash dye. I have used them in the past with success so I tried dying an olive green denim jacket navy blue only to find that it came out a muddy grey, streaky and other areas hardly touched. Followed the instructions to the letter and will never use them again. Waste of money and a good jacket.

Have to agree with others here. Have used the Intense Black machine pod to dye faded Black jeans and the result on several occasions have be 1 hit wonders as colour does not hold after 1 wash. Used today from a pod bought from Morrisons and the result was uneventful, a simple waste of money and electricity. I also notice the pod instructions say to wet the garment prior, but on the Dylon website it demonstrated the item goes straight in the machine with pod. I wont be wasting my money on Dylon anymore... Some local market/handy stores are selling the pods at £9.99 (SMH). Will be trying the Rit Dye now

Bought three of the ‘Sandy Beige’ and it turned everything a horrid pink colour!
Awful! I am hoping the colour will fade with washing. Thank goodness I didn’t dye all the items I was intending to and only used one of the dyes. Rest will be returned!

I ordered this fabric dye for my hair extensions and it did nothing to them apart from cling to the clips and lace of the wig - not normally the one to complain but was annoyed at spending my money on something that did nothing

Used Dylon before multiple times and never had issues. Recently bought the black dye and only turned the item a dark navy, purchased a second dye and rewashed the item and it didn’t change colour at all. Have just washed a white top with the sandy beige dye on a 40c cotton wash for nearly 4 hours and it’s come out patchy as the dye hasn’t taken to an all cotton item. Quality has drastically dropped on this product I would avoid at all costs.

EDIT

As previously mentioned on another review after the final wash there is little blue dots all over the top, now ruined. Won’t be using again

I felt rather smug reading negative reviews. I have used dylon dyes in the past,and decided to dye a new white cotton skirt,(sandy beige) seemed fine when I took it out of the machine and then noticed all the BLUE SPECKS have put it back for another wash cycle.
HERES HOPING

Wish I could rate less than 1star, what a waste of money. We spent £8 on this rubbish trying to get the right colours back into my article of clothing (white) ,never buy this product as they are liars saying that it works. Sorry for the people working for them but I hope it folds up soon for ripping normal people off for using them. What a crap firm, I'm surprised Robert Dyass even puts they're name to them. Save your money and ask around.

Bad experience, like many other reviewers. All-in-one colour pod in Olive Green ruined a set of cotton beddings, leaving them with blue specs all over the textile. Green colour came out okeish, but the splatters of blue stains make it unsightly at the end. I am really surprised by Dylon audacity to keep this product on the market despite so much negative feedback on it.

I'd previously used the older version of the Dylon machine dyes - the ones which came in a packet - with success, in the same front-loading washing machine. I was therefore not anticipating any problems with this product (Dylon Smoke Grey All-in-1 Fabric Dye). How wrong I was. The dye simply does not dissolve or disperse properly, leaving streaky, spotted, uneven, ruined fabric. I tried following the instructions precisely, putting the pod in the machine with weighed damp towels and running a non-eco 40°C cotton cycle. Then I tried emptying another dye pod into the drum and putting (different) damp towels on top. Then I tried dissolving the dye in hot water and pouring it into the drum before putting more old towels on top. Then I tried dissolving the dye in hot water, putting the dyed liquid in an empty pod on top of the fabric and running the program. A disaster every time - a quite spectacular waste of time and money. I will edit my review to address any PR response from Dylon.

Terrible product. Read mixed reviews and was stupid to give it a go. I bought 2 tubs of the grey dye. Just wanted to change a light coloured pair of cotton tracksuit bottoms. I followed the instructions properly. After 1 tub there was no change. After 2nd tub. Very slight change but small blue dots all over the trousers now which will not come out.

I never complain about products but I have to write about this experience. I followed the aftercare instructions (something like 2 follow-up washes) and then I washed some whites and they come out covered in black spots. On further investigation the plastic ring is soaking in black dye still. 1 day later of scrubbing and 90 degree washes + doing special washes with cleaning products... the dye is still inside the washing machine. Tomorrow, I will be pulling the plastic ring out again to get back to scrubbing. Not looking forward to it. So ruined clothes and washing machine all because I wanted to save some cash by repurposing my jumper. In hindsight def not worth it.

Completely ruined my washing machine. Having used the black dylon in washing machine dye......3 weeks on and about 40 million empty cycles run on every number at every temp with bleach etc etc....I am still getting black flecks of dye on all my white washing.....my washing machine is completely ruined...thanks Dylon....heed this warning people....don't do it!!

The dye worked but after several washes as per the instructions the granules are still in the drum and around the door . I wipe it round after every wash but i think my machine is ruined

White shirt , trying to turn intense black but ended up brown. Total waste of money and of a perfectly good shirt which had to be binned.
