Worked great! No color bleed whatsoever on the garments I dyed.

I've never used anything like this product so all I can say is it was suggested to use when dying with the iDye. I do know that when I washed the items for the first time after dying there was no black water in the washer from the dye coming out of the clothing. That is the purpose for this product so I'd say it worked very well. When I've dyed clothing with regular rit dye it always bleeds some of the color in the wash water. My wash and rinse water with iDye Black had no bleeding out at all.

iDye is super easy to use with no hassle whatsoever. We dyed our Ikea sofa covers with the navy dye and they came out great. The fabric was already a turquoise blue and now it has deep blue over-dyed look. There was no problem using our front load washer we just put everything in at the beginning of the cycle and let it go. Afterward we ran one empty cycle to rinse the machine and there was no more dye left. We used the Jacquard iDye Fixative as well and there is no offset of dye onto our clothes which is pretty important for a couch! I will definitely be using this dye again.

Stained fabric (with poor results) and then washed one load with fixative and one load without. Dye ran equally in each load. Have washed twice since with same results. Very poor product.

While the color turned out great (plenty of dye stuck to the fabric fibers) even with the appropriate amount of fixative (and appropriate post-dye fabric laundering) I got a lot of color bleed the first time I washed the completed item I made from the dyed fabric. I'm a bit disappointed. The fabric itself still looks great but I clearly can't wash it with ANYTHING else.

Will reserve final rating of 5 until I have washed the goods a time or two. I expect it will be 5+ as is usual with your products.

This is my insurance that colours stay on the scarves and don't transfer onto clients' necks.. Works as it should and I love it.

Fine but I have found the cottons I have dyed without it do as well in the wash as the ones I've dyed with it. So not a necessary step in my pov.
