THE MOST DIFFICULT PROBLEM WITH REACTIVE DYES IS REMOVAL OF UNFIXED DYE AT THE END OF THE DYEING PROCESS. THIS IS BECAUSE THE DYES HAVE SUCH STRONG AFFINITY FOR THE FIBRE.
DYEING
Hitech Wash Off can be mixed with the dyestuff to improve its solubility and eliminates
spotting and streaking - particularly Reactive Dyes. Paste dye with 1-2gms Wash Off then
pour on boiling water to dissolve.
WASHING OFF
Add 2 gms per litre of Wash Off to first rinsing bath to reduce wash off time and help
prevent backstaining of white areas. Add Hitech to warm rinse bath, agitate fabric in rinse
bath for a few minutes, then do a hot soapy wash. Because of its low PH, Hitech Wash Off
is much kinder to fabrics than commercial detergents (especially Wool & Silk)
