Product Description

Cotton, linen, and rayon fabrics dyed commercially that bleed should be treated with a Color Fixative.

Treatments are best done by hand, with 140F water, or with a machine from the 1960's (not energy efficient).

A washing machine that uses less energy is not recommended for use with this product.

If it is the first time you're washing the fabric, test it first.

Questions & Answers

Do you know if this is the same product as retayne by G & K Craft Industries?

You are correct it is an identical product

Spot treatment may be used as well as non-spot treatment Is chlorine bleach safe to use on products that have been ?

I have never done any research to know the answer, but an item treated with Retayne will need to be treated again if other bleach is used on it and eventually the bleach will remove the Retayne treatment.

What is the shelf life of this product? Is it effective for a short period of time and then loses its efficacy?

There is no expiration date on this bottle, and other Retaine products do not seem to lose their effectiveness over time. I have only had this brand for about a month, so I cannot tell you for certain.

you use this to set the colors of vintage huipils?

The answer is yes. It is possible you will need two or three different treatments for the huipils because they are dyed with fugitive dyes that come off very easy. When applying Retayne to water, it must be at 140°F. In the event that she has fully treated her fabric and there is no color rubbing off after it is completely dry, she needs to wash the item in cold water from then on.

Selected User Reviews For PRO Retayne 1/2 Gal.

The safety of my new fabric gives me a sense of relief

5/5

The first thing I did was wash a small yard of fabric without using Retayne to demonstrate the effects to my family. all firmly believed that the Retayne I needed for my burgeoning sewing business had to be on hand at all times. The fact that you provide this in larger quantities is so that it is more affordable and that I do not have a myriad of tiny bottles littering the ground of my washing machine.
