After ten minutes or so of washing I manually drain and rinse &ndash; I find the soap has done its job by then, and I don&rsquo;t want it swishing around in muddy-coloured water for longer than necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;ve washed tie-dye in hot water in a twin tub with no problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;ve also hand-washed tie-dye &ndash; I did a double hot wash with cold rinse and had no problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much tie-dye to put in the washing machine?!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about it &ndash; if you can wash a rainbow spiral without it staining itself, mixing a few items together really doesn&rsquo;t matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My rule is <strong>no more than half a load<\/strong> ie. if you have an 8kg washing machine put in a maximum of 4kg. If the colours are very different split them into smaller loads of lights and darks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also tend to put in other items that the dye won&rsquo;t affect (not when I&rsquo;m washing stuff for sale, of course. You don&rsquo;t want that anywhere NEAR my husband&rsquo;s running clothes). Black socks, synthetic work-out clothes, and <a href=\"https:\/\/dyediy.com\/low-water-immersion-towels\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2096\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">already tie-dyed towels<\/a> all get thrown in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The clothes wash just as well and I feel that the extra water helps the tie-dye wash out better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about Synthrapol to wash tie-dye?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Synthrapol is a pH-neutral, professional textile detergent that claims to keep dye in the washing water, preventing it from binding to other areas of the fabric. People say it leads to crisper, cleaner tie-dye, especially when white is involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, I&rsquo;ve never used it. I was going to buy some when I started tie-dyeing but the added shipping for a liquid detergent to Australia made me hit the Remove from Cart button real quick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to use Synthrapol, and can afford it, great. But it&rsquo;s not essential. Just make sure you rinse well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about a Blue Dawn rinse for tie-dye?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EZUsOE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blue Dawn dish soap<\/a> is commonly recommended for rinsing and washing tie-dye. Again, the claim is that the pH-neutral soap will pull the excess dye away from the fabric and lead to crisper results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&rsquo;t buy Dawn in Australia, so I experimented with equivalent pH-neutral dishwashing liquids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I couldn&rsquo;t see any difference<\/strong> &ndash; it didn&rsquo;t seem to make the rinsing process quicker, or to remove the dye more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, if you want to use it, go for it. It won&rsquo;t hurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I think rinsing tie-dye well is the key, not how many different products you use to rinse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an example, here&rsquo;s a white onesie I overdyed in black and washed without Blue Dawn, Synthrapol, or any additional steps. The white is still white, and the edges are as defined as I&rsquo;d expect &ndash; it doesn&rsquo;t need anything fancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dyediy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_20211115_125342-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Black and white tie-dye - how to wash tie-dye\" class=\"wp-image-2309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dyediy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_20211115_125342-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dyediy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_20211115_125342-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/dyediy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_20211115_125342-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/dyediy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_20211115_125342-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/dyediy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_20211115_125342-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dyediy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_20211115_125342-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/dyediy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_20211115_125342-1068x1424.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/dyediy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_20211115_125342-1920x2560.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/dyediy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_20211115_125342-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/dyediy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_20211115_125342-scaled.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dyediy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_20211115_125342.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eek!
