Take a cue from one of our favorite DIYers, and add a fun pop of color with some inexpensive dye and cheap panels.Washing Machine: Front Loader How to Dye Using a Front Loading Washing Machine Dyeing in a washing machine is the most convenient method for dyeing large items and will not damage the machine if done correctly. However, the dyes may stain the machine around the plastic parts so it’s important to clean up immediately after dyeing. Since items need to be dyed on the hottest cycle, this process does not work well for items that are washable in cold water or are dry clean only. When dyeing items to a lighter or different color, first use Rit Color Remover to ensure you obtain the color you desire. We do not recommend dyeing more than 8 pounds of fabric at one time in the washing machine, or dyeing slipcovers and draperies in a front loader because the items are bulky and may become twisted during the dyeing process which can result in the fabric being striped or splotchy from uneven dyeing.

1-2 cups chlorine bleach Optional: Rit Dye Fixative Prewash items to remove any finishes that may interfere with dye absorption. To determine the amount of dye needed, weigh the items to be dyed together.

Wet item(s) in hot water, smooth out any wrinkles and place items in the washing machine. Set water temperature to the hottest possible setting and a wash cycle of at least 30 minutes or longer. The longer the item is in the dye, the darker the color will be. Shake dye bottles before pouring. Wearing rubber gloves, mix powder or liquid dye with 2 to 4 cups of very hot water;

Pour the dye solution into the dispenser when you would normally add detergent. Flush the dispenser with another 4 cups of hot tap water after the dye has been added. After 10 minutes, if you are dyeing natural fibers like cotton or linen, dissolve 1 cup of salt in 4 cups of very hot water and add it to the dispenser. If dyeing silk or nylon, mix 1 cup of white vinegar with 2 to 4 cups of hot tap water and add it to the dispenser. Then flush the dispenser thoroughly with 4 more cups of hot tap water. Optional: To reduce color bleeding, use Rit Dye Fixative on cotton fibers immediately after dyeing, following instructions on bottle. After the machine cycle ends, rewash item in warm water with mild detergent. The machine will automatically rinse it. Hang item or machine dry. To clean the washing machine: Using hot water and the “high” level setting, clean the washer with 1-2 cups of liquid bleach. Make sure to wipe around the inside of the lid and pour a little bleach through the internal dispenser as dyes can get into these areas.

Fill washer to highest water level with the hottest water temperature setting. Add detergent and 2 cups chlorine bleach and run a full wash cycle with 3 to 4 old towels.
