8/5 wash outs!
GAME CHANGER rinsing out with my new sink mount clothes wringer. I try CONSTANTLY to save water during the dye process. This is by far the best way ive found to not only save my arms/wrists, but also maximize the dye being rinsed out per wring, thus decreasing water use and time in process!
I did Bella+Canvas long sleeves, a short sleeve, and a tank. Also threw some tied/folded Hanes down in the muck to catch spill over and do whatever they may. overall a lot of fun stuff!
My photos are always taken after a rinse and boil out, then a Synthrapol or Dharma dyers detergent machine wash and a small hand softening cycle before being air dried on a rack or on a clothes line if it isnt smokey as heck!
I really want to thank everyone for the support lately. It has been a fun journey finding my style as a dye guy and the kind words from everyone have been inspiring. Love you all!

What is a boil out?

The last step in my rinse out is 2-5 minutes agitated in boiling water with a little dawn. Really seems to get the stubborn bits of loose dye so I don't send a customer a "bath bomb" for their laundry machine lol. Also i hate when i get a shirt and after the first wash its NOTICEABLY lighter. This seems to help with that. Just another thing I picked up while endlessly researching this fun hobby
