Idye color remover removes color. Surprise, surprise, surprise! That's right, we are all about the unexpected around here. Use this little packet of color remover to remove color, lighten color, or brighten whites. It's like a bleach, but not. It takes out iDye, and you can test it on other dyes as well. One small packet of iDye color remover will treat 2-3 pounds of fabric.
FIVE SIMPLE STEPS:
- Fill a stainless steel, aluminum, or enamel pot with just enough water for the fabric to move freely. Turn on a medium to high heat.
- Add the iDye Color Remover soluble packet to water and stir.
- Add garments and raise temperature.
For cotton, wool and silk bring temperature to just below a simmer.
For polyester bring to just below a boil. Please Note that anything over a 50/50 poly blend will have less and less a chance to remove color as stronger measures are needed for the color removal of poly fabrics. - Maintain temperature and stir frequently for 10 to 20 minutes, or until color has left as desired.
- Wash the garment with a mild detergent and dry.

I bought this product to discharge dye from silk but before I got a chance to use it for that purpose I thought I might use it to try to brighten up a white spandex microfiber shell I got at Chico's years ago and a once-gorgeous white rayon blouse that had become dingy over the years. It worked great. I'd tried lemon juice peroxide and various commercial products before and none of them had an effect. I just thought I would pass this on.

This product did remove most of the color from the wool knit item I used it on but it took a long time. I had to boil the item for about an hour to get most of the color out. There was a tinge of color left but for my purpose that was OK. I am not sure I would have ever gotten the item to come out white. Fortunately I intended to felt the item later after redying it because it was partly felted by the time I took it out of the dye remover process. The dye remover does smell pretty bad when it is boiling. However I am not complaining because this is about the only way I can use this wool yarn I have (the color is too awful to use as is) and this particular yarn has many other good qualities so I want to use it. Hence dye removal.

Works really well-- I even was able to use the same batch twice in qiuck succession. Left my silk as white as it was before my botched first dyeing job.

I used this to lighten a beige lambswool sweater in preparation for over-dying with forest green acid dye. It removed enough beige that the green turned out a lovely sage color. And the garment remained soft.

This product works as described. It won't take everything out because some colours will not budge. I have used this successfully with woolen knits silk linen and acetate fabric. Sometimes it won't remove colour but that means that nothing will. I use it to lighten fabrics that I redye with plants. Recommended. I hate running out of it!

Worked reasonably well in my effort to lighten an overdye that was too dark. I used on hand-spun merinoalpaca plied yarn. Was pleased that it didn't ruin the fiber.

Used this color remover on a bridesmaid dress that was lavender which needed to be coral for another friends wedding. I bought a 12 quart stainless steel pot and heated it as directed. The dress was 100% silk over 100% acetate. The silk immediately became white (less than 5 minutes). The acetate didn't lighten until 30 minutes of water that was just below boiling point. Amazingly it worked! After I dyed the dress coral the acetate lining became a beautiful champagne color and the silk became color. I couldn't believe I was able to recycle this dress but I did!

I work for a ladies sleepwear company & we use this brand to dye our samples. It's easy to use and colors are fabulous! Deep vibrant bold colors. We use it to dye poly lace and fabric and always very pleased with the results.

Didn't work as well as I had wanted on the wool coating material I used it on. It turned it a weird shade of green but it was light enough I was able to over dye it to a shade I was planning on anyway.

Wish I didn't need this as much as I seem to but it works very well and doesn't leave a nasty smell.
