Would this work well to dye a lab coat? Also, will it stain the washing machine?

The dye is only suitable for non synthetic fabrics, a 50/50 poly cotton blend yes, fully poly no. Cotton that has not been treated is its primary use. You might consider using fabric spray paint dye, which will bond with synthetic fabrics. Any item you dye should be left to air dry for a few days, then you can wash it alone, it will bleed for the first few washed like a new pair of jeans. Also keeping the dye mix in a bucket and redying an item after its washed once, then repeating the process may be needed as the item may lighten, black is a dark color. So for any synthetic or polyester fabric spray paint is the way to go.

I suppose it could stain depending on what you get on it but we've had ours for over a year and have no stains. It has of course gotten dirty and we simply throw it in the washing machine and it holds up very well and comes out looking newish. Hope this helps.

I always used it in my HE washing machine. The HE just means that your using less water in the machine. When your using this on a small load Shana A. it still works. Your just trying to find a product that works on stains like Blood, grass etc. I've been using this Vivid since 1987. I hope this helps, Shana A.

I use it as a pre-treatment on laundry all the time! I love it! It doesn't get all stains out, but it gets out yellow sweat stains and a lot of other stains. You spray and let it sit for several minutes, then scrub. Sometimes I use it combined with Shout for other stains. They get even more stains out together. Occasionally, I will add Dissolve-it for stains like chocolate and tomato sauce.

It depends on how the colored piece is dyed and the fabric type. All cottons may NOT be as colorfast. So weak solution bleeds much less.I make a very mild/weak dilution with COLD water and first treat the stain with PLANET INC. dishwasher soap, then immerse in the weak solution. If it quickly starts to bleed a lot of color I remove and rinse completely with cold water and stop. Usually it bleeds out a small amount of color with weak solution.PS Sun cleaner POWDER is the same product and much cheaper from big lots stores or walmart. Small is $2.25 and large about $6!

Bill I have used it with both stain and paint. Just make sure you keep the nozzle clean or you will get drips. Its fine for continuous use but if you take a break for more than 30 minutes you should clean it out.

Bac-out works best as a spot treatment rather than laundry additive. It works on bright colors but I would spot test first to be safe. You can dilute it if necessary depending on what concentrate you buy

I did not see any color bleeding off onto anything. So I think aswer is no it wont stain clothes. We did our silly string outside and when I cut my bushes months later blue string still had its color.

Yes, it should work for you. I have used it on the fabric upholstery in my car to remove grease and ink stains. After you clean your upholstery thoroughly, might I suggest that you "seal" it with Scotch Guard. That will help prevent future stains. Good Luck!

This is precisely what I used this product for and the result was PERFECT. I had my washing machine tub develop a large chip, and the rust on the metal permanently stained a white garment of mine. I used this product to fix the spot and the results have been perfect for over a dozen washes now (I suspect the fix will outlast the machine). Definitely this works. Drying time for me was 48 hours with multiple rounds of blasting it with a hairdryer (so, longer than the stated 24 hour cure time) but the final result was flawless.

Yes. I always dye in a large plastic bucket. I don't know if the dye stays as well doing it this way but I only use my washing machine when the dye job is complete and the fabric has been well processed and rinsed. I have been dying clothes this way for years. And yes, the colors fade a bit with each wash.

they will stain fabrics, and as long as they are not washed aggressively with detergents (gentle hand washing, drip dry) the stains should stay decently, but if you want to dye clothes to wear I would not risk it because one washing machine run and they would probably lift right out and go into your other clothes. By the way the red is mostly just beet juice, so juice up a beet and see how it does on your fabric! You can make yellow from Goldenrod. Blue can be made from berry juices and other natural materials.

I've used it for stains on clothes. Spray...let sit for a couple of minutes. I use a brush to brush the tough stain and it goes away. I have also used for laundry as well. Clothes smell fresh!

I'm not sure, I have never stained anything. But if it is anything like painting I would think so. I bought this to paint my house. I hope this helped.

This paint stains. It washes off of hard surfaces but will stain hands and clothing. Soap water and a good scrub did not touch the color that stained my little girls hands.

Yes, I think it will. I have never tried it before so, I'm not sure how well it will remove an ink stain but I have friends that have tried it and got it out.

It depends on the stain and what chemicals u use to clean with. If using just water and the stain isnt years soaked into the wood then this pressure washer should work, but at very close range...about 2-6 inches from the surface of the wood.
