Jacquard iDye Poly .49 Oz - Green

I recently bought a pair of pure white, full seat riding breeches on eBay that were badly misrepresented. The seat was ruined and they were not usable. I happened to have another pair of breeches that I didn't like but had a perfectly usable seat, so to try and save the eBay breeches from going in the trash, I decided I'd try and put a new seat on them and dye them a color to match the replacement seat. (Note: I dyed the breeches first and then replaced the seat material, so the seat material you see in the finished photo is not dyed with idye)This was my first attempt ever at dyeing anything but I figure the breeches were headed for the trash anyway, if I messed them up, there was no loss. The fabric content on the breeches (see photo of pre-dyed, white tag on the breeches) was a mix of cotton, poly and spandex so I bought matching idye color packets in idye for cotton and idye for poly fabrics, as well as a packet of idye color fixative and did the stove top method. The cooking color was very dark but they lightened up after rinsing and drying (which I was glad about). Also, because of the spandex content, I decided to keep the dye pot "almost boiling" but not bring it to a full boil like the instructions suggest. I cooked for about 1/2 hour (instructions recommend 1/2 to 1 hour). As you can see from the photos, the results were dramatic! I now have a perfectly beautiful pair of riding breeches and there is one less clothing item in a land fill! Yay! The idye packets also say it's safe for my septic system - another big plus.I can't speak for color fastness yet as I've only washed them twice since dyeing them but I do love the color I used (gunmetal, which has a blue base and turned out a deep navy for my difficult to dye fabric). In fact, I love the results so much, I definitely plan on using this method again for future breeches! So happy with idye and highly recommend it.

This is very good dye. It's easy to use and doesn't stain anything except what you're dying. Apparently doesn't bleed, either. Using this was a much more pleasant experience than my last attempt at dying something with RIT.That said, I was trying to dye some ugly light green cotton/poly curtains a darker, prettier shade, and while they look much better now, they didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted. But that was probably on me, not the dye.Because I didn't have a big enough pot for the stovetop method, I used a front-loading washer. It says on the Jacquard website that you can do this, but my experience is that it's not recommended, at least not with big items like curtains. Supposedly the amount of dye was appropriate for two 84" panels, but I don't think there was enough water in the washer. Also, it was impossible to keep the water as hot as it should be. I have my hot water heater turned up all the way and also threw at least 8 quarts of boiling water into the washer, but it needs to be that hot for at least 1/2 hour of agitation and I don't think it was. Perhaps if my item had been smaller so it moved more freely in the water, the temp wouldn't have mattered so much. But whatever, I think my curtains would have been darker if I'd had more water and/or hotter water. Darker is what I wanted.It also didn't smell nearly as bad as some reviewers indicated. There *is* an odor, and I think it gave me a mild episodic headache, but it's not anywhere near overwhelming as long as you have your windows open and a decent cross breeze. Perhaps the really negative reviews about the odor were from people who couldn't or didn't open their windows, or maybe who have severe chemical sensitivities. In the past the odor might have bothered me a lot, but since I've improved my health my sensitivity to odors has remarkably diminished. So I didn't find it troublesome.I was very happy to find that there was no green residue left in my washer. I washed some old green and blue things (stuff that no longer bleeds) right after I got done with the curtains, and also threw a snow-white rag in there to see if there was any staining or residual dye left in the machine. Not a bit.So I consider this product a win.What I'm going to do is get a bigger pot and two packets of dye and try again, stovetop, following the directions precisely, doing only one curtain panel at a time. I liked this product enough to try again.My main quibble doesn't have to do with the product itself but with the Amazon listing. In Amazon product description it says for "100% natural fabrics", but then the picture of the product is of iDye Poly, which is only for synthetic fabrics or blends. I asked the seller a question on Amazon, which went unanswered. Decided to buy anyway, and what I actually received was iDye Poly, which would not have worked if I'd had 100% natural fabric like cotton or silk.But for synthetic fabrics and blends, highly recommended!

if i could give this product 0 stars i would.this was not my first time using a dye like this, but it was my first time with this brand and i will never use it again.i followed the simple directions perfectly and my supposed to be pink fabric came out purple and very splotchy. my fabric was white to begin with and i only left it soaking for 45 minutes.that really isn’t my biggest concern though. the SMELL was absolutely the worst part. the other reviews on are are not exaggerating at all. i am usually not bad when it comes to strong odors, but i think i may have had an extreme sensitivity to this one. although i was in a well ventilated room with windows open and fans on, almost instantly after the steam started i got a terrible migraine and felt extremely light headed. i tried getting fresh air outside and drinking water and taking medicine to try and calm it down but it would not go away. i needed my boyfriend to finish the soaking process and clean up for me because i could not be in the room any longer. i’m not trying to sound dramatic but it really was horrible. i even ended up vomiting several time. it is about three hours later now and i am still feeling very dizzy and nauseous while writing this.i’m sure this isn’t common for most buyers because not a whole lot of reviews say it was this bad for them, but just be extra extra careful when using this product, and i defiantly would not purchase it if you have even the slightest sensitivity to this type of stuff. i will NOT be purchasing this again.

Top sur du polyester !! Ça a super bien marché j’en cherchais depuis longtemps c’est dur à trouver

Ich wusste schon vor dem Kauf, dass dieses Produkt hält was es verspricht.Dachte aber nie daran ganze 5 Ladungen ( 20h kochender Färbeprozess) mit einem Beutel färben zu können.Dazu noch fleckenlos und auch bei der fünften Ladung von sattem Ton.Ich bin verliebt und kann dieses Produkt nur empfehlen, weise aber auf eine gesonderte und den Warnsymbolen entsprechende Entsorgung des Farbgemisches, nach Beendigung des Färbeprozesses hin.

way more omph than other synthetic brands on the market

Ho tinto un piumino invernale, che era color panna, in materiale 100% sintetico (poliestere e poliammide), usando questo prodotto in lavatrice. Ho fatto un primo lavaggio con il capo, la tintura e il prodotto fissante, a 40° programma delicati, poi un altro lavaggio usando il detersivo, con acqua fredda, sempre programma delicati. Il piumino si è tinto perfettamente, la lavatrice non è rimasta macchiata dalla tintura (non ho dovuto fare un ciclo a vuoto per pulirla, come succede con altri prodotti), e il capo non perde colore (già indossato sopra abiti chiari). Completamente soddisfatta del risultato.

La conclusione è che è impossibile colorare il tessuto poliestere. Nella foto il telo ombrellone sbiadito dal sole potete vedere la differenza tra la parte sotto che è rimasta di un bel verde e quella invece che doveva colorarsi che è rimasta praticamente grigio. Solo acqua sporca soldi buttati.
