Practical Textile Yes of course. we are discussing the most useful technique behind tie-dye instructions for washing clothes black without feeding. Washing or cleaning after tie-dye is an important factor in tie-dye history. Improper washing/ cleaning techniques can make the clothes feed. It happens normally in black/deep color, red color, and Blue/turquoise type color. So we have to be more careful about this color during tie dye wash.
Random tie-dye instructions for washing or rinsing:
- M: L(Material: Liquor): 1:20 Wash after tie dye you have to use the correct liquor ratio. Here you must use a minimum of 20 times water for washing. It is the best resulting ratio.
- Detergent: We have to use high-quality detergent during rinsing and before tie-dye. If you use low-quality detergent before tie-dye, then the dye will not be evenly absorbed, and the unfix dye percentage will increase. which needs a longer time to rinse and make the fabric fade.
- Dyes Behavior: We have to use reactive dyes and branded dyes.
- Color Depth: Normally tie dye needs a higher dye percentage so we have to carefully apply dye to the fabric. Improper dye application can cause it to take more wash.
- Fixing Agent Used: Need to use a fixing agent or vinegar by which we can rinse more.
- No. Of color Used: Tri to use color not more than three.
Step By Step Instructions for washing and rinsing tie-dyed clothes
- STEP: 1 Rinse the tie-dye clothes with the tie. In this stage, we have to rinse for a minimum 25min with cold water. You have to run this rinse until the water is clear. But not more than 35 minutes. Important note: color will not be 100% clear.
- STEP: 2 Rinse the clothes without ties. Here we have to open the ties and start rinsing again. Here we have to rinse for 15 minutes to 20 minutes with cold water until it is cleared.
- STEP: 3 Now we have to wash the cloth with detergent. Here we can watch clothes on Vasel/pot or in the washing machine. Vasel: Liqur ratio min 1:20 with a little bit of detergent (we must have washed in cold water) Washing machine: wash with detergent and cold water. Time for both washing machine or manual: 15min.
- STEP: 4 Hot wash(Special case): We can use hot wash after the above 3 steps. But the temperature is not more than 50 degrees centigrade. After the hot wash, it needs 5 minutes and 5min two cold wash, or 5 minutes hand rinse wash.
- STEP: 5 Drying: After all those 4 steps we have to dry it. Air drying is the best practice for tie-dye. We can also use trample dry but at low temperatures.
Not to do during washing tie dye or rinsing:
- Do not use hot water during rinsing.
- Do not use excess detergent for washing or rinsing.
- Do not wash in the washing machine the first time.
- Should not wash multiple clothes together. Note: we can wash together if every clothes has no bleeding at all.
- Don’t keep the tie-dye clothes on the water before the washing and rinsing procedure is done.
