Dylon 350g Machine Dye Pod, Espresso Brown

Wow it’s like I have a brand new pair of jeans! I was hesitant to purchase because of the bad reviews. However, the package specifically states to use on 100% cotton and front facing washers only. And all the bad reviews they either didn’t use a front facing washer or they didn’t use cotton materials lol. Follow the instructions and it will work!

Got this to dye a favorite old pair of pants with so many stains I couldn't wear them without worrying that my friends would wonder about my mental health. Worked hard to assure the wife this would not ruin our washing machine, and came out on the winning end of that debate. Now it's like a new pair of favorite pants and I LOVE them. If only there were a way to throw them in the washing machine and come out with all the holes patched up...

The item I dyed was a huge linen duvet cover and two shams. Everything fit well into the washer. I was very happy with how everything looked until I got to the shams. One got completely ruined! It has large, overly dyed/stained spots on it that I tried to wash and rinse out without success. It's ruined and now I have to try to find some that match the duvet. I will say... Everything came out great! It was just the color I was hoping to get. I only used one pod with a cal king linen duvet cover and shams in my regular washing machine. So convenient.

It didn't work well for my king size duvet. It must have been the type of material as the color didn't change at all.

Ruined my favorite $280 worth dress! Yes call me crazy that I decided to dye my favorite expensive dress with this but mind you, I have home dyed with this stuff and brand so many times before. This jar or batch is just off and dead. Because this time it just ruined my clothing I’m so sad and mad. The dye literally just became a rock in the jar in the washing machine, while I did everything as described on the label. It left a big ugly brown spot in my dress that’s all. The dye is dried up like a big piece of concrete IN the plastic bottle. Wasted money wasted clothing. I could cry

It worked great but a bit pricey.

Easy to use.... may need to clean your washing machine a bit... but worth it!

Love this because it says it's natural

Very easy to use, with no mess. Colour was rich and has lasted.

I bought this 'Espresso Brown' dye with the intention of dying two old cotton throws, each of which was approx 1.2m square, and which had previously been dyed bright orange several years ago. The total dry weight of fabric was about 1.6kg, which is greater than the maximum weight stated for one pod of dye, but all I wanted to do was to tone down the existing colour. I had expected that I might end up with a sort of terracotta shade, but wasn't really too concerned about the end result, so figured that it was worth a punt using a single dye pod. I gave the throws a quick pre-wash to leave them damp and then followed the pack instructions, emptying the contents straight into the machine drum as indicated for larger quantities of fabric, and putting it through two full cotton cycles, with detergent added in the second cycle. The end result is an even coverage, and the shade is a rich 'chocolate' brown, not much lighter than the shade indicated by the manufacturer, which was surprising given the excess weight of fabric I was using. There was no staining left behind in the machine or on the door seals, despite the alarmingly dark colour during the process. All in all the product was easy to use and produced better results than I expected. My only criticism is that the instructions are printed on a long narrow strip of paper in tiny letters less than 1mm high, and are in white on a black background, which makes it very difficult to read. My eyesight is fine for reading most things, but even with reading glasses on I also needed a magnifying glass to read the instructions properly.

This product has destroyed a really nice pair of white trousers I wanted brown, from the minute I saw the dye in the washing machine I knew it was going to be awful, but couldn’t understand why because I followed the instructions exactly, step by step because it’s been years since I’ve dyed clothes but also I really wanted them to turn out perfect, as you can see from the photos they are completely unwearable and from wet to dry nothing changed (photos: first 2 are wet last 2 are the dry)! I really liked the white thread detail too, such a shame, I am going to complain directly to Dylan because it’s totally unacceptable. A very expensive lesson to never do this again!!!!!

Detta kom aldrig fram. Fastnade i tullen och har vad jag vet inte återbetalats….

Had a few old teeshirts which benefited greatly with some vibrant colour. Seems to have lasted several washes without any decernable fading
