Dylon Fabric Care

As all shopaholics who have emptied wallets and abused credit cards on the post-Christmas sales know, this seasons mix of floral prints, bright colours and gleaming whites look great in theory, but can prove a nightmare to wash - especially if the colours run or whites get mixed in with that bright pink bikini!

Luckily, mixed wash or colour-run disasters (and very costly mistakes!) need never happen again thanks to DYLON - the experts in fabric care. Simply read on to find out how...

Firstly, to avoid making the ultimate washing sins, the important thing to remember is always read the garment care label. Although often ignored, these little white labels clearly instruct the best way to wash your clothes and will guarantee your favourite new top won?t end up a mish-mash of colours!

There are five common fabric care categories that appear on garment labels - prohibited treatments, washing, drying, ironing and dry-cleaning instructions. Following these category guidelines will help to ensure your clothes remain in prefect condition all year round.

But if all else fails and your gorgeous new summer dress does run in the wash, DYLON has the perfect answer - two simple to use Colour Run Removers that will save your clothes, and your wallet, this summer!

Whiten Whites

Before throwing away that white singlet, stained from a stray red sock in the wash, try DYLON Run Away Colour Run Remover 25gm sachet.

Specifically designed for use on whites, Run Away, is a non-chlorine bleach formula that won?t yellow or damage fabrics and can even be used on printed transfer T-shirts, wool and silk!

Suitable for machine or hand use, only soak 100% whites. RRP $3.45

Restore Colours

If your patterned clothes colours have bled into each other, you can now safely and effectively remove the stains with DYLON Colour Safe Run Away Colour Run Remover 150ml pack.

Unlike other colour run removers, Colour Safe Run Away is completely safe and effective to use on coloured fabrics. The machine agitation does all the work to flush the colour off your stained items.

Colour Safe Run Away is bleach free, pH balanced and pleasantly fragranced so your fabrics will remain soft and fresh smelling, without the need for a second wash.

Machine use only, soaking non-fast colours is not recommended. Always check the care label for advice. RRP $10.95
