Desperately need Synthrapol
 

Hi, Ladies, I did some prewashing of fabric and one of my fabrics bled onto another. As a result, I am looking for Synthrapol. I am currently in Brunswick, Ga. but I can go as far as Jacksonville, Fl or St. Augustine. I have tried googling some possible locations for Synthrapol, but so far have not found a source. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Order it off the internet, Then you don't have to go out and find it.

I did this Google search:

Looks like some JAF stores carry it along with Wal-mart and Michaels

That's what I forgot to put on my list when I went to W. Oh well need to pick up another script.

http://www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/ should have it.

Regular Blue Dawn dish detergent works just as well. BUT, you need a top loading washer with LOADS of water. If you only have a front loader, use your bathtub. The loads of water hold true for Synthrapol too.

I have had really good success with dawn and also some store brands.

Many LQSs carry it, I have also seen it at JoAnn's

I used to do tie dying with my son (ages ago). I got my synthrapol from "Grateful Dyes". Maybe they are still around.

I bought mine from Amazon... quick delivery

I buy mine from Dharma Trading Company on line. I have seen it in quilt shops. Synthropol just keeps the dye suspended in the water so it won't get on other fabrics, if dye has already transfered to other fabrics you could toss in a couple ( color catchers) and rewash until it all comes out. The color catchers will ( grab) the dye & keep it from getting on other areas. Color catchers are sold in the laundry area of the grocery store, in a box like dryer sheets, made by *Shout*

I did a red and white quilt twice a couple of years ago. The first one I did bled badly when I washed it. I used Synthropol and hot water and it removed almost all of the red bleed on the white fabric. I decided to do it one more time to try and remove what little bleed was left. The whole quilt came out looking sort of like it was tea stained. Then I read the directions and it said to only do the hot water with Synthropol once. I know - I should have read the directions before I did the second wash - but I didn't. So, I threw that quilt away and made another (same pattern). I washed all the fabrics and the rick rack (which I think was the main culprit in my bleed) prior to making the quilt, and washed the quilt the first time with lots of color catcher. Worked great!

I have looked several times for Synthrapol in JAF Michael's and Walmart and have yet to find it. I use the color catchers and throw 2+ sheets and a cotton towel or piece of old fabric. Helps to determine if I have to rewash.

curious, how do you use blue dawn in a top loading washing machine?

Just pour it in.

Hi I live in Wisconsin. I ordered a few bottles of synthrapol. I would be more than happy to send you a bottle. Yes for free. I don't know how to go about the process of mailing it to you. I don't want to be to free with my e-mail or telephone number. If someone knows how I could private message that would be wonderful. I could send it out in tomorrows mail. Dee

Just Click on DeeRaye's name here & a box will pop up with an option to send her a private message

There is also a site called "The Woolery" that I stumbled on to. Have not ordered from them but they have a 16 oz bottle for $6.50 as well as the smaller bottle.

I ordered mine through Amazon.
