Prepare the Bath

Submerge and Stir

Fix the Shade

Rinse and Dry

Dissolve the pigment thoroughly in warm water, ensuring no undissolved particles remain to cause uneven spotting on the fabric.

Wet your garment completely before dipping. Stir continuously for thirty minutes to guarantee the color binds evenly to every fiber.

Add our specialized fixing agent to the bath. This locks the rich pigments deep inside the weave, securing monsoon-tested fastness.

Rinse in cold water until it runs completely clear, then dry in natural shade to preserve the newly restored brilliance.

Treating every weave with care

Different fabrics absorb pigments uniquely. From delicate silk innaphis to heavy cotton phaneks, adjust your approach for perfect shade consistency.

Weight Guidelines

Lightweight silks require gentle stirring and lower temperatures to protect the delicate fibers, while heavy cottons need extended immersion to allow the dye to penetrate the core of the dense threads.

Always wash garments separately for the first two cycles to ensure any excess surface pigment is safely cleared.
