Will this product work on synthetic fabric or fabric that is colored? Like could I dye a polyester, red shirt white?

I don't think it will work! Red is a strong dye and the color remover states it won't work on synthetic fabrics. I thought I could change a royal blue hoodie to just a lighter color - it had some synthetic polyester fabric in it, but it was mostly cotton. It turned the most ugly color of orange you have ever seen in your life. It's seriously not worth your money, time, or frustration to use this product. I'm not sure what it works on, but nothing I've tried it on has worked... especially if there's some synthetic fabric lurking in the material.

I have not used it on fabric. I checked the label and it says it is suitable for use on surfaces; nothing about using it on fabric

I don't see why it wouldn't. I used this on my sofa and it's synthetic fabric....nylon based. I have also used it on cotton based fabric on my pillows as well. I have two dogs and it has worked well resisting stains. .

I have not used the product for laundry, so I'm sorry I don't know this directly, but I would definitely try it with an item you don't care about that is the same kind of fabric as what you would wash, and see what happens as an experiment.

I've sprayed it on my furniture without any problems. My furniture is light and cotton covered though. I am not sure if it can be sprayed on every type of fabric or if you won't stain on darker fabrics.

I doubt if it can be used on Fabrics because it's very runny and gets all over the place and when it dries, it dries a beige colour and is obviously dried glue. There are fabric glues out there that Costumers use to make an instant hem but I don;t know the name of it.

It's akin to Febreeze - only natural - so I'd assume you can use it on any fabric (test first to be sure, but I haven't had a problem with stains, even on microfiber).

they will stain fabrics, and as long as they are not washed aggressively with detergents (gentle hand washing, drip dry) the stains should stay decently, but if you want to dye clothes to wear I would not risk it because one washing machine run and they would probably lift right out and go into your other clothes. By the way the red is mostly just beet juice, so juice up a beet and see how it does on your fabric! You can make yellow from Goldenrod. Blue can be made from berry juices and other natural materials.

I know this question was posted more than 2 years ago, but thought it was a good one, so I'm answering it! Polyester cannot be dyed with typical dyes because it is a synthetic material. You need to get disperse dyes. I found a really good "how to" here: http://www.wikihow.com/Dye-Polyester.

My experience with "Iron Out" is that it will take red stains out of almost anything. In one instance, I used it on a towel that had become bright orange with a little red mixed in; After an overnight soak in Iron Out powder with a tad of laundry detergent mixed in the water, I had an immaculate white towel - couldn't believe my eyes! My towel was cotton terry so I can't vouch for polyester, which I assume is the fabric of baseball pants. Good luck! You could also try a paste of plain ole table salt mixed with cold water on the stain. That works wonders for a blood stain - the stain disappears almost instantly.

I only use it on paper. My instinct tells me it would not work on fabric since it smears even after I've let it dry overnight (and it would probably smear when washed). But maybe some one else has had success.

Great cleaner when nothing else works. I never used it in cloth but would try it only on something white. I believe it would remove color.

I wouldn't use it on fabrics. Its paint for metal wood plastic. If used in Fabrics i think it would dissolve or fade after washing. But you can try it Good luck

No, since this product adds color and will not add white. You'd want to use some sort of a paste. Try finding a rinse-out "Manic Panic" hair gel, or even use white toothpaste. Baking soda or baby power mixed with water would also work, but if your shirt will be dark a pre-mixed gel or paste will be better (baby powder would likely "dust" your shirt at some point).

It only affects dyed colors so the white should be unaffected. Keep in mind it's meant for dyed fabrics so if the colors are screen printed etc on a white background it won't affect the color

Yes, it will work on light colored (pastels) and a cottonpoly blend t-shirts, onesies, etc.

Absolutely this cannot be used on fabric. It should not be used on anything. Had to literally leave the house after trying to use it. I took the pets with me, as I didn't want their little lungs to disintegrate.
