Does this dye work on polyester?

There are a number of interesting you tube videos that are very helpful. However, the color and the type of fabric that you are dying is critical. The closer that the fabric that you are dying is too 100 % natural fibers, like cotton or linen, the better the dye will take. The closer the color is the white the better it will take. I doubt that you can dye polyester. I think that the faded levis that I dyed are a good example. After dying, the blue part of the levi looked blue, but the white parts (these were very faded) on the seams etc. were almost as dark as the blue parts. The inside part of the pockets (white, but not cotton) came out a faded light blue and the orange stitching looked very orange. I hadn't even realized that the levis had orange stitching.

Yes. You need to use 100% cotton or other natural fabric for best results. If you want to dye poly, it takes a special product for synthetics. If you dye with blends, the poly part will not dye. The cotton part will. It might be an interesting effect. Try a small piece and see what you get. Plus, things loose a lot of brightness as the colors set and dry. And you may lose more color when you first wash the garment. And that kit will not dye 15 shirts. More like 5.

It worked on ink from a foutain pen but I don't know about clothe dye. I would think it would since it takes out ink, dog messes, and everything else. I love it myself. You might have to use it more than once on the dye. I use a dry cloth but you can try it wet if that works better.

Not sure about wedding dresses, however I use it on poly/wool and pure polyester and it works pretty good. Mostly used it on polos and police/security uniforms.

I'm not certain if it would really coat the strap enough. Sorry, but I don't have anything dyed like that on which I can run a test.

I used it on a cloth cap and, thus far, have had no problems. Now, to be fair, I DID wash the cap a few times right after dyeing in a cold wash to avoid bleed out.

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!

I haven't used them on polyester, I would think they should work just fine. Maybe test them out on an extra pillowcase before putting to much work into it.

I don't know it may, but this dye comes out VERY fast so you may want to try another brand.

Not really but just follow the directions and do a test spot and you'll be find. It will bleach out fabric.

My daughter used it on some clothing and it darkened and went blotchy on some of the items. It may depend on the fabric, but I`m not sure

I only have these in colors. I've never tie dyed but I've heard that cotton is the best fabric for this. These cases feel very soft after laundering so I assume they have a lot of polyester in them. I looked on the cases but could not find a tag that gave the breakdown of cotton/poly. If you have experience with dying synthetic fabrics you can certainly try it on these.

I've used it on a multitude of different fabrics & so far no noticeable discoloration.

Perhaps if diluted. I personally use this for very tough stains (clothing) and it works, even if the stain has set in.

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!

My project was on a cotton t-shirt and has faded with washing. Polyester probably will be a little different but to make it as colorfast as you can, I would advise pressing with a warm iron before washing. Also when using dye, it helps make items colorfast to soak in vinegar and let dry before use or washing. Good luck!

Yes, it will work on light colored (pastels) and a cottonpoly blend t-shirts, onesies, etc.
