(Espresso Brown) - DYLON Machine Dye Pod, Espresso Brown, easy-to-use fabric colour for laundry, 350g

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!

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

Way easier than rit dye on the stove! Wish they offered more color selection. Did a knit cottomln cardigan with espresso and it turned out great, a gorgeous rich color. Followed instructions and it turned out great! Will buy more dylon pods for sure.

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.

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.
