Does anyone know how to dye Chinese prefolds safely?
I dye my soon to be children of blue cloth diapers, I can of how much it cost to buy them already dyed. Anyway I will use the dyed cloth diapers as burp no diapers (using Fuzzi Bunz for that). Serious answers only please … Thank you!
If you choose the right dye, you can get any color you want with no bleeding or fading color. If you choose the tint wrong, it will bowl and bleed forever, making it more problems than it is worth it, and you always have to worry about dye loose cause a rash or something for the baby. The wrong type of dye used is an "all purpose" as Rit dye. Sure, you can buy almost anywhere, even the grocery store, but not strongly bond to the fiber in the fabric, so it is not truly permanent. The right kind of coloring is called through fiber reactive. You can buy at any crafts store, or you can mail-order that, if a mail order supplier of good ink, dyes cost much less per piece and come in hundreds of different colors. In the craft store, look for any link good dyeing kit, such as those made by Jacquard, Tulip, Rainbow Rock, or Dylon (avoid Rit tie-dye kit and tie dye kit magic strings) or search for Dylon Permanent Dye Tulip One Step Fashion Dye, or Procion MX dye. For mail order, see the following link to sources of supply of dye. Fiber reactive dye such as Procion MX dye, permanently bonds to the cotton diapers. Only you have to follow the instructions, and let the dye sit down with soda ash overnight. The next day, when washed in cold water to remove the ash soda, then wash twice in hot hot water to remove any loose dye in excess. After completing this step of washing, the remaining dye will not fade or washing. You can throw it in the hot wash with whites and have no color transfer at all. You do not have to order the clothes at all, if everything is tinged with these High quality colors! And because the ink does not loosen the material, not have to worry about whether or not the loose dye is safe for your baby. Proper application of dye reactive fibers is the safest of all dyes for cotton fabrics to be used in infants.
