Instructions
Haute Couture dye is ready to use and very practical. An all-in-one box comes with dye, salt and fixer. Here is how to use it in your washing machine in 3 simple steps:
1
- Weigh the fabric while it is still dry to ensure you have enough dye.
- Carefully wash the fabric several times, especially if it is new, and check that its initial sheen has completely disappeared.
- Put on rubber gloves, empty the contents of the sachet(s) into the drum (not in the detergent tray or directly onto the fabric).
2
- Once you've poured the powder into the drum, gently shake the drum so that the powder passes through the holes in the drum to avoid contact between the powder and the fabric.
- Turn the dry fabric inside out and put it into the machine without folding it.
3
- Do a 40°C cotton wash straight away (without a prewash)..
- Once finished, add laundry detergent and do another standard wash at 40°C for around 2 hours.
- Remove the fabric, add laundry detergent and do another wash at 40°C to clean the machine.
- Dry clothes without putting them in direct sunlight or a direct heat source
