I especially use Retayne on Batiks ... Batiks is what got me started using Retayne.
Synthropol is for use once a project is completed, and fabrics have not been treated with Retayne. Syntropol will not keep the fabrics from running/bleeding it justs suspends the released dye so it does not discolor the reamaining textiles. Note Syntropol is to be used in warm water, and the company recommneds once Synthropol has been used all subsiquent washes of treated must be washed in warm as well. Retayne works to lock in the dyes not just work with excess that is released. Once Fabric has been treated with Retayne , wash in cold water. |
I also learn things everyday on this board. Glad it helped on your near-disaster. That would of been heart breaking.
3 cheers for our board! |
I have to get some Retayne! I have Synthropol. Thanks for explaining the difference here and in other posts!!!
|
Again I say.......thanks for this board. I have learned so much here.
|
Glad you didnt have a dissater!!!!!!!
|
How do you use it?
|
I put a sheet of Shout Color Catcher in my machine when I am washing clothes and I have not ohad any problem with bleeding.
|
A Color Catcher does not set dye. It helps keep loose dye from redepositing on the fabric. I find so-so results. They help but I think setting dye completely first THEN use color catchers is a smarter way to go.
