DYLON Washing Machine Fabric Dye Pod, Forest Green, 350g

I used this DYLON Intense Black dye pod to refresh some faded black clothing, and the results were excellent. The colour came out rich, deep, and even, making old clothes look almost new again. The instructions were easy to follow, and using it in the washing machine made the whole process simple and mess-free. The dye took well, and the finished colour was consistent across all the items I dyed. Overall, a great product that delivers impressive results. Excellent value for money and a fantastic way to revive tired-looking black fabrics. Would definitely use again.

Reading some of the more negative reviews, I thought this new approach of chucking in the dye within a container would be problematic. Not so! All in one product (no more kilos of salt to buy) & no more emptying out of the dye into the drum - nice and straightforward with less room for accidents. I've been using Dylon's range of dyes for a few years now and this latest format makes it even more simple than the previous all-in-one pouch. To improve your chances of a consistent result, follow the instructions but be aware dirt or soap residues are the enemies to the dyeing process. So I ensure the wash before dyeing is a thorough one, with no fabric conditioner. You could try using distilled white vinegar as a conditioner replacement (useful when you've run out or for towels that you need to stay absorbent), because it helps by neutralising any remaining soap. Choose the highest spin setting your machine offers to get rid of all of those residues. Then, clean out the detergent/conditioner drawer and run another rinse cycle with just water, selecting the option for 'water plus' if your machine has the function to boost the amount of water used in the rinse process. The aim is to make sure there's nothing but clean detergent free fabric. Place the Dylon pod on top of the freshly-washed well-rinsed damp fabrics and follow the remaining instructions for the experience you've been dyeing to see. 4 wash cycles (cleaning, dyeing, after dye wash, machine clean-out wash) per batch of clothes is a bit energy intensive, so you might want to wait until you've got enough items to rejuvenate or for when it coincides with your scheduled machine maintenance wash and run a limescale treatment during the final clean-out wash killing two birds with one stone, to justify the 'leccy costs. But, it's better than looking scruffy or throwing out garments and your machine will most certainly be free of germs after the whole process. Several cups of tea later... results were uniform colour throughout. I chose the Navy Blue option (the product picture shot isn't that accurate in the colour shade - it appears online as a denim blue). Results were a nice and deep uniform blue to several items all done at the same time (3 pairs of partially faded navy trousers, 2 casual navy shirts that looked a little tatty and a light blue t-shirt). One dye pod was enough to refresh all the garments to look crisp and close to new again without looking artificially over coloured. I was a little apprehensive worried I'd get blotchy results claimed by other reviewers, but following the instructions which state to run on a 40 degrees cotton cycle, the results were as good as Dylon's previous generation all-in-one pouch, minus any dyed fingers. Trust me, the dye powder can get everywhere if it's mishandled, the pod just makes it all nice and simples.

I used this to bring some faded dark clothing back to life and was pleasantly surprised by the results. The colour came out noticeably darker and made the clothes look much fresher overall although it wasn’t back to being pure black. It didn't completely cover some stains I was hoping to hide, so I wouldn't rely on it for that, but it definitely improved the appearance of the fabric and evened out the colour. One thing to be aware of is that it left some black marks on the washing machine door seal after use. However, most of it came off with a quick wipe and a cleaning cycle, so it wasn't a major issue. Overall, a good product if you're looking to refresh or darken clothing rather than perform miracles on stained items.

I don't like faded jeans so tried this dye. Very easy to use and a brilliant result, dark navy jeans. It takes a while as each step has to be on a full cotton cycle. That's over 6 hours, but if you have a pair of great fitting jeans, just the wrong colour definitely worth it.

I was really impressed with Dylon Intense Black. It’s a fantastic way to bring tired, faded clothes back to life without having to replace them. The colour comes out deep, rich and bold, giving garments a fresh “like new” look when used on suitable fabrics. The best thing about this dye is how simple it is to use. The machine dye version is especially convenient. Just add it to the washing machine, follow the instructions, and the process is almost effortless. I used it to revive black jeans that had started looking washed out, and the difference was amazing. The fabric looked darker, fresher and much more expensive afterwards. The finish is a strong, intense black rather than a dull grey, and it’s a great option for refreshing jeans. I'm going to purchase again, but this time add 3 pairs of jeans for the darkness I require. A small tip: make sure you check the material of your item first, as synthetic fibres may not take the colour as strongly as natural fabrics. Also, it’s worth running an extra wash afterwards to remove any leftover dye.

Used it to colour a white shirt and a T-shirt using the deep black colour. The t-shirt is a bluish grey, and the shirt is a dark grey. These are light weight, 0.5kg so should have worked well. It coloured them but not the expected dark colour. It’s ok, not amazing result.

I've tried dyeing clothes for years and not been very successful, however this is the first time that the items were perfect. Very pleased with this product, but expensive in my opinion.

Used this product twice, each time following the instructions precisely, unfortunately it never turns out a crisp black despite the garment already being black. It definitely makes them look better than before but not as good as I was hoping.

Dyed 5 pairs of navy chinos as they were starting to fade, easy to do, no mess. Came out as good as new.

The clothes went in white came out black it’s really good
