Dye

By , About.com Guide

Definition: Dye comes in commercial and natural forms and is used to add permanent color to clothing. Special care should be used when dyeing clothing because dye is a very difficult stain to remove.

Different fabric types and consistencies will require different treatment with dye. Make sure to read directions thoroughly.
