Dharma's Dyehouse Color Remover

DyeHouse Color Remover is used to remove the color from whole pieces of fabric, also for "reverse" Shibori, or tie dye where you are removing dye in a pattern from something already dyed - either by simmering in a pot on a stove or using very hot tap water in a bucket or washing machine. It works with varying degrees of effectiveness depending on the dye and the colors to which it is being applied. Simmering works best. It is usually very effective for use in correcting dyeing mistakes made with Procion dyes, again, depending on the color. Testing first is always recommended. Not to be used with Aluminum, cast iron or copper pans or utensils. A 2 oz. packet is good for about 4 lbs. of fabric. You'll also need 8 oz. of soda ash and some Synthrapol. Also called Thiox or Spectralite, this chemical is often listed as one of the ingredients in Indigo dyeing recipes. See our discharging instructions in our How To section.

Always work in a well ventilated area. We recommend that you use Color Remover with a Respirator Mask using Gas/Vapor Cartridges especially if you have allergies or asthma as this product has been known to aggravate those conditions.

To prolong shelf life, store in airtight container in a cool place. Exposure to moisture and heat makes it go bad. It will gradually turn yellowish if it has gone bad. When in doubt, test!
