Works with several (but not all) kinds of dye and any natural fabric or blend. Reduces bleeding of improperly fixed or improperly washed out dye jobs. Particularly valuable to quilters when bought fabrics are bleeding or when new clothing is bleeding all over. This product can often \"fix\" these loose dyes to prevent color bleeding in the future. Test if possible, because it doesn't work on all dyes. Works on most dyes for cotton and other plant fibers, like Fiber Reactive Dye (see next paragraph), Direct Dyes, \"All Purpose\" dyes and also sometimes helps Leveling class Acid Dyes to be more fast on silk.

Use it after draining the dye bath, but before rinsing and washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor all solid colored fabrics, use 1 oz per lb. of fabric in a HOT soak for 30 minutes to help fix the \"fugitive\" dye, then, for complete safety, wash after with HOT water and Synthrapol to get out any remaining unfixed dye. Any fading you get at that point is dye that would have come off anyway and gotten all over.

You can also add a pinch to your dye mix for tie-dye to make the dye stay put rather than bleeding through the fabric.

Gathered and ground in much the same ways, the fallen, yellowed leaves from the Symplocos cochinchinensis imparts a lighter shade of yellow along with a higher percentage of naturally occurring alum.
