Tintex Fabric Dye Colour Remover

Tintex COLOUR REMOVER is used before dyeing to achieve the best results by improving the absorption of our dyes.

Use before dyeing a dark article a lighter colour. Lightening fabric before dyeing helps create a blank slate for your next DIY project. Lighten fabric to get to a cream, warm white, off-white or ivory colour. When you start with a lighter base your final dyeing result may be closer to box colour.

The stove top method is the best way to lighten but you can still get good results using a machine. Results may vary with each fabric; repeat application if necessary.

A successful lightening project has 3 main parts:

Hot water (simmering is ideal for the hand technique)

Agitation (keep moving fabric around in the solution)

Time in solution (extended time, beyond the minimum may be needed for the most lightening)
