Liquid Fabric Dye Black, Clothes, Denim, Handbags,Spray, Dip, Batik, 1 Litre

Amazing product. I bought another one on amazon which was an aerosol fabric spray and cut completely destroyed 2 cushions off the sofa I'm spraying , rock hard. So bought this for the others and it is fantastic. Buying another and will try to salvage the other ones.

I bought this dye looking desperately for something to dye my two pink nubuck sofas black. There's nothing available for nubuck in industrial quantities, only those ridiculous 50-ml pots just enough to dye a pair of shoes. Why can't anyone sell nubuck dye in large amounts, I've no idea! I looked everywhere and found nothing so I decided to try this one out of pure desperation.It worked like a dream. First I applied it with a brush and then I poured it into a spray bottle and it worked even better. At first I tried to dilute it half-half as the label suggested but it didn't work too well and the pink colour still seeped through, making the sofas appear dark brown. I applied a second coat neat, without diluting, and it turned my sofas a perfectly black colour. Naturally, at first I was afraid to even sit on them but once they dried out, the colour didn't run at all. You can sit, lie and roll on them with no damage to light-coloured clothes whatsoever. I've washed the sofas since with a soapy sponge and the colour didn't run, either. The nubuck texture hasn't lost any of its properties. This turned out to be one of the best buys for our house and I can't recommend it enough.

Brilliant stuff. I didnt dilute it at all. Used it for a bed base and it was plenty.

So I tried dying a dress, but it didn't work. It was a plain brown dress, which I wanted to dye black, but it is now just a patchy black and brown mess.I'm not new to dying clothing or fabrics, I do it for a living, as a fashion designer. So thought I'd give a new brand a go. Wish I hadn't, it's a waste of money and time. I fully submersed the dress in the dye, left it overnight in the dye, added heat to set it. I did this process twice, in hopes that maybe the first attempt just didn't take the dye evenly, so I repeated the process to get a second coat on. But alas it made no difference and I'm now left with a patchy mess, which I suspect will completely wash off in the washing machine, leaving me with the exact same colour dress I started with and a fair few quid out of pocket.

This dye is 'ok' it covers....but I have learnt a very valuable lesson.....don't dye sofa's if u have no patience and also....don't dye sofa's unless they can go in the machine.I wanted to update my front room as I'm so bored of the grey now. Can't afford a new sofa so I had a great idea....I'd copy the 'stay at home mom dyes sofa's for 20 dollars' trendIts messy. No matter how u put it on its messy and when it says it needs 72 hours to dry....believe them and add another 24!My sofa's are a very pale grey channel, velvety type fabric, they absorbed the dye well. I've used 4 bottles on these 2 sofa's and the 3 seater back isn't done. Nor the seat covers. I started to paint the seat covers and then changed my mind. I did 3 of them, let them dry for 2 days then thought no! ill keep them grey and stuck them in the wash....ALL THE DYE CAME OFF....which is great for me but not if u wana dye them! So I'm having a 2 tone sofa of jet black and ash grey. I decided that because wen the dye is dry....it transfers onto clothes. I can imagine this dye working on leather, but it doesn't become colour fast when dry on my material couch. To combat this, I will try coating in scotch guard....i'll have to re edit when I've done that.It does cover well, but like I say it transfers dye. So i'll only be wearing black from now on along with the entire house hold. I'm hoping the scotchgard works. Some fabrics won't dye because they are synthetic, in other words plastic....so if its synthetic fibres I'd say avoid, mine obv must have sytentics in there hence why it won't stay on the fabric. In all, I wish I'd just left it grey and stuck a cover on it. £60 quid later and with aching arms from trigger spraying and painting, I'd be sat now drinking tea....but I can't they need another 24 hours and the guard spray.I found with a brush you use less dye....but its lighter coats.With a spray bottle (and I can't stress enough how it should be a great spray bottle that doesn't drip between sprays or is a sharp shot....wide mist is best....the better the bottle the bigger the difference....TRUST ME)....The spray application seems to give a deeper colour in coat and rub in with gloved fingers....my glove ripped and now I have 1 very jet black finger.As soon as I scotch guard i'll update on wether this helps woth the transfer. It also needs it to give a waterproof layer as I know any liquid will wash off the dye....just like the washing machine did. ....imagine a sofa with dodgey tan lines....😅 and a puddle like cried off mascara on the floor. If that fails....I've ruined a perfectly great sofa! Unless I can jet was it all off in the summer!? Another possible idea.ALSO if u think you need 2 bottles, order 4...double your initial idea of what you think you need.Now sit and really think....do I want to dye my sofa when it might not work!? Thats what I did and I decided to....now I wish I wasn't as enthusiastic about my sofa's changing colour.Edit: tried the scotchgard. Emptied 2 cans on it... no difference, dye still transfers. I now have to find some cash to replace the sofa as the dye transfer is pretty rediculous.If your thinking of dying fabric sofas.....DONT DO IT! TRUST ME!
