How colorfast is this dye? Can the resulting fabric/clothes be washed with warm water?

Mine seem to be quite colorfast. I did not do any really deep colors but stronger than pastels. Love the dyes!

I've washed it on warm with a cold rinse cycle and it came out fresh and fine. Hope that helps:)

It is a wrinkle free, medium weight polyester fabric with the look of linen. It is not linen. I have never tried the dyeing a polyester fabric.

I wondered about if it was dyed since when I washed it in still water, the water changed its' color. I am wondering if I should throw it away.

I can only respond for purple and blue. If you put heat when dying it, for some reason it has more staying power and does not stain towels/clothes. It does not leak like temporary dyes. It says it's semi permanent however the purple was permanent, fades on tone.

Yes, warm water, no fabric softeners. Lay or hang to dry, do not put in dryer.

It is a long process and not especially suitable for a craft night if you want them to take home a finished product. That was my original intention too. You have to wash shirts first. Rubberband them up. (Watch the video to decide on design) Soak in a solution for 20 minutes. Apply the dye. Put shirts in plastic bags and leave overnight or longer. Then rinse excess dye out. Take off bands. Then wash. The kit is great and the shirts turn out really nice. But i only got about 8 shirts, not 15, and it takes a couple days to finish.

I soak mine in a bucket of soapy water overnight, rinse and air dry. They've lasted for 4 years and look fine. I would not machine wash them with ANY other garment--the dye runs like crazy.

My dye wasn't bad/oxidized. I had a great experience with this hair color. First time buyer.

You will want to dilute it a bit but you can use it on fabric. I haven't seen it cause any discoloration on anything I've used it on.

I noticed if you wash the clothes immediately the color washes out. I don't understand why the company hasn't figured out a better way to apply this.

Yes. This is just a rinse, not a dye. It's like applying colored water to your hair. It's not greasy or thick. No stain and rinses out. You can even dab it on gray roots to postpone dying your hair as often.

I dyed a white cloth (cover for my Kitchen Aid stand mixer). I did not use the entire bottle and dyed it in a plastic sink tub as opposed to a washing machine. It ended up a light blue. I guess it would depend on the size of what you are planning to dye ans what method you use. Hope this helps.

I would just wash the clothes in warm water with a little dawn dish soap :)

I think with a lot of scrubbing it'll get it light lavender, which will probably work for colored clothes or clothes with patterns. But it'll still be noticeable on white. For that you might try hydrogen peroxide, or bleaching, or give up.

No, they aren't color-fast but that's why the manufacturer recommends washing them 1st before using them. I bought the varsity blue one and it bled blue dye when I hand washed it so I rinsed it really well but it hasn't bled dye since. My brother has used it multiple times since I got it for him with no further problems and no color fading either. HTH!

Hi, yes the cloths are machine washable in warm or hot water. They can be air dried or put in dryer. No bleach or fabric softener. Hope this answers your Q.
