This is a low water dye method and it is not all that messy. I can usually clean up any splashes in the sink right away. I do have a bunch of Dollar Tree cat litter boxes that I put the full bags into just in case there is a leak. I then leave them to incubate on the back porch, but I have a very small kitchen. Until you plunge in and do you will never know how easy and mess free this can be. I like the crystalline patterning so I usually put a yard in one gallon bag. My dye stuffs are contained in two smallish totes and stored away until use. I don't find it a problem, but if you are hesitant then wait till summer and do your dyeing outside. All you need is Hot water to mix your fixer solution and that is mess free and done in a gallon jug.
