How to Dye with Coffee

Rinse and wash the garment

Follow the above rinse instructions for each shade of brown. After rinsing, wash your garment in the washing machine on hot with detergent. It is very important that you put this garment in the washing machine alone! Do not wash your coffee-dyed garment with any other clothing until it has been fully washed and dried on its own.

Line dry or machine dry according to the garment’s care instructions.

If your garment is not as dark as you would like, repeat these steps until you reach the right shade of brown. If your garment started out as white, then keep in mind that it will take more soaking to turn it a dark brown. If your garment was originally colored, then the brown color will be a muddy version of the original color.
