Review: Though I initially bought this for dying fabric, I find I used it often on brand new designer clothes to set the dye from THEIR processes so I can avoid having to be so "specific" with my basic laundering. Most of my clothing tags say "launder separately, inside out, cold/cold delicate wash" I have found that more often than not, it is due to dye color bleed NOT the fabric itself...I don't know about anyone else but I don't have time to launder every single item of my wardrobe separately lol...its not like I only wear a couple of different colors. I actually wear a lot of different bright "jewel tone" colors along with the basic darks so simply separating like colors is not recommended for many of these items either. So, when I buy something new, I wash it in this FIRST, according to instructions until I have no more bleeding. I have yet to have color transfer issues on my clothes after using this and mixing my laundry so I would say this works like a charm to set dye! AWESOME to keep your blacks actually black as well. :) Of course, once I treat my new clothes with this, I do wash on delicate, inside out, on cold/cold but not because of color run but just to keep them their brightest and darkest for longer. (I use detergent specific to darks etc. as well...I find doing these things and starting with this, my clothes look new even a year or more later, with no fading.) Using it this way, it makes it well worth the price! (because lets face it, it is pricey for such a small bottle...but not when you calculate the savings of your hard earned money forked over for a new wardrobe sooner just because of fading issues like your favorite black pants are now gray! This way you can at least hang onto things until the styles have changed enough that you WANT new clothes lol.) When dying your own fabrics, well...lets face that too, few hobbies are cheap lol so it is what it is price wise. Review: Very disappointed that this did not work to remove colour's runs on my cream ottoman cover. I followed directions to the letter and it made absolutely no difference to intensity of number of runs on item I ended up using two other methods to remove/ reduce runs with limited success but still, these methods made a positive difference unlike this product. As synthrapol 's primary use is for stripping oils and finishes and removing excess dye after hand dyeing ( which I do) I will reserve judgement until such time as I can use this for other applications. 2 stars down as it did not work for one process mentioned above 3 stars as I didn't realize a product like this existed until I researched how to remove red colour's runs off cream cotton upholstery fabric, but I do have other multiple uses for this product It's not available in Australia except through desertcart from what I can see. So my 3 stars are high hopes ,it will make dyeing a lot easier with better results. I have about 30 items to dye, so will update once this is done ## Features - Professional-Grade Textile Detergent – Jacquard Synthrapol detergent is specially formulated for pre-washing and post-dyeing, ensuring that fabrics are clean and ready for optimal dye penetration while removing excess dye after coloring - Prevents Uneven Dyeing- Use Synthrapol before dyeing to thoroughly clean your fabric and remove any impurities, which can cause uneven dyeingPrevents Backstaining & Removes Excess Dye – This Synthrapol keeps loose dye particles suspended during washing, preventing backstaining and helping maintain the vibrant, crisp colors of your projects - Ideal for Fabric Preparation – Use Synthrapol detergent to remove oils, dirt, and sizing from fabrics before dyeing, helping dyes penetrate cotton, linen, and more.

I use it in the washing machine after I tie-dye clothing to keep the colors from bleeding together. However, I have learned in my new "modern" washing machine it does not fill up with water fast enough and colors can sometimes bleed anyway. I have to mix the Synthrapol in water first and add it to the machine immediately or do it in a bucket, agitate the tie-dye clothing, and then pour it all in the washer. **Q: What is the difference between Synthraphol and Retayne?** A: Retayne fixes dye to fabric and should be used to wash fabric that bleeds or may bleed PRIOR to using in a quilt or other project. Synthrapol is a detergent that suspends dye particles in wash water so that they do not reattach to fabric. Under the best circumstances it can help salvage a completed quilt which has been found to include bleeding fabric(s). **Q: Can this be used along with Oxiclean in the washing machine? I need to soak clothing in hot water to remove stains but I want to prevent color bleed.** A: Yes no problem. Perfect for that. This is called backstaining and is exactly what it was meant to prevent. **Q: Can you use this Synthrapol without the recommended added soda ash?** A: Synthrapol is a detergent intended to wash excess dye out of fabric. Soda Ash is used in the dying process to help the fabric retain color better. Between the two, Soda Ash is the more necessary component to the dye process, but both are recommended to produce the highest quality finished result. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***C on 15 March 2017* Though I initially bought this for dying fabric, I find I used it often on brand new designer clothes to set the dye from THEIR processes so I can avoid having to be so "specific" with my basic laundering.
