Question: How Do I Dye Clothes in the Washer?

How Do I Dye Clothes in the Washer?

Answer: To dye clothes in the washer, you will need to use a commercial cold or hot water dye. Dylon and RIT are common dyes that can be used in your washing machine, and both cost under $5.00 a package and can be found easily in grocery and craft stores. Follow the directions on each package to ensure that you are using the dye properly.

You can also soak clothing in cold water dye without using the washing machine.
