Step-by-Step Instructions (Sink / Bucket Method)

Pre-wash item: Wash jeans/fabric in warm, soapy water to remove finishes, oils, or dirt. Leave wet.

Prep the dye bath: Fill a plastic tub or sink with enough hot water (approx. 60 C) for the item to move freely.

Add dye & salt: Shake the Bold Blue All-Purpose Dye bottle well and pour into the bath. Add 1 cup of table salt (for cotton denim) and 1 teaspoon of liquid dish soap. Mix thoroughly.

Dye item: Submerge wet jeans. Stir continuously for the first 10 minutes, then periodically for 20 to 50 minutes until desired colour depth is reached.

Apply ColorStay Dye Fixative (Crucial Step): Remove jeans from dye bath and squeeze out excess liquid. Fill a tub with hot water, add the entire bottle of ColorStay Dye Fixative, and stir. Submerge jeans and agitate continuously for 20 minutes to lock in colour and prevent fading.

Rinse & Wash: Rinse in cool water until rinse water runs clear. Wash separately in warm water with mild detergent and hang to dry.
