How to Use Kadam DyFix Sachet? : A Step-by-Step Guide

Fabric dyeing is a way to breathe new life into old garments, and to add a personal touch to your fabrics. Dyeing fabric is more than just pouring vibrant dyes and making patterns; it is to achieve a long-lasting color that doesn't fade easily. And that's where Kadam Dyfix comes in! Kadam DyFix is a specially formulated fixing agent to stop color bleeding. It is a skin-friendly solution that contains anti-fading agents, and is free of Formaldehyde components. It works by chemically binding the dye molecules to the fabric, ensuring that the vibrant hues remain intact even after multiple washes, providing long-lasting durability to your dyed fabric.

How to Use Kadam DyFix Sachet? A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Prepare the Solution: 

To lock in the dye, begin with preparing the DyFix solution by Kadam Colors. Pour 2 caps (20ml) of Kadam DyFix solution into 5-6 litres of water in a container. The amount of solution needed may vary depending on the size and quantity of fabric intended to dye. Make sure the container is large enough to immerse the fabric completely and allow it to move freely within the solution. Stir the solution thoroughly for DyFix to distribute evenly throughout the solution. This step is important for the uniform fixation of the dye on your fabric. 

Step 2: Submerge Your Fabric: 

After preparing the solution and stirring it well to ensure mixing of the solution, it's time to immerse your fabric completely. Ensure that the fabric is fully submerged in the solution so that every part of the fabric receives the fixative treatment, resulting in color longevity. Allow the fabric to soak for the recommended duration, typically around 10-12 minutes, taking care not to agitate it too vigorously. During this time Kadam DyFix penetrates the fibres of the fabric and locks in the dye molecules and enhances color fastness.

Step 3: Stir Occasionally: 

It is important to stir the DyFix solution while the fabric is soaking in it, to ensure even distribution of the fixative and promotes uniform color fixation. Cover all areas of the fabric by gentle stirring motion to avoid any damage to the fabric. This step helps to prevent uneven fixation and ensures that your colors are vibrant and consistent throughout. Keep an eye on time to ensure that you don't exceed the recommended soaking duration. Kadam DyFix is formulated such that it doesn't affect the quality of the fabric and is also skin-friendly.

Step 4: Rinse the Fabric: 

After soaking the fabric according to the recommended time period, it's the time to remove it from the Kadam DyFix solution. Carefully get the fabric out of the container and rinse it thoroughly with room temperature water. Rinse the fabric until the water runs clear, this indicates that all excess dye and fixative have been removed. This step is important to remove the unwanted dye or fixative from the fabric's surface. Prefer the use of cold water for rinsing, as using hot water can cause the dye to bleed and affect the final color result. Take time with this step and double check rising to prevent the residual fixative left on the fabric to affect its texture or color. 

Step 5: Dry the Fabric: 

Make sure to rinse the fabric completely until the water runs clear. Post that, this step is to dry the fabric thoroughly. Lay the fabric flat on a clean surface or hang it to air dry, taking care to avoid direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time and decrease their longevity. Choose a well-ventilated area that is away from harsh light and allow the fabric to dry completely before handling or wearing it. The drying time may vary as per the fabric and environmental conditions. The fabric is ready to wear after proper drying and is "dyfixed" to be incorporated into your wardrobe and worn with confidence.
