## Features

- PREVENT COLOR BLEEDING - Retayne is a color fixative. It should be used in pre-washing your commercially dyed cotton fabrics before you use them in a project, not after you have completed your quilt project. By locking the dye into the fabric, Retayne prevents future bleeding. Since it fixes colors, Retayne helps fabrics to retain their vibrancy. Note: only one application of Retayne is necessary.
- HAND WASH DIRECTIONS - Add 140 ̊F water to a pot or tub, enough to fully cover the fabric you’re treating. Then add one teaspoon of Retayne for each yard of fabric. Add the fabric you wish to treat and soak for 20 minutes, stirring regularly. Remove the fabric, rinse it in cold water, and immediately hang it to dry.
- WASHING MACHINE DIRECTIONS - Follow the same steps above, setting the water level appropriately in your machine and using a 20-minute wash. Note: Retayne does not work in energy-efficient top and front loader washing machines
- 16 OZ BOTTLE - This bottle contains 16 ounces of Retayne dye fixer. Retayne can also be purchased in 4 oz. bottles.
- MADE IN THE USA - All G&K Craft Retayne is made in the USA.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use Retayne or Synthropol on printer fabric sheets?  I followed the instructions for making the fabric colorfast, but still get some bleeding**
A: Retayne or Synthropol is used normally when you wash the fabric prior to cutting the fabric out for your project to help set the color, preventing the colors from bleeding to other fabric.  I now use a color catcher sheet and small amt of gentle detergent, and rinse with vinegar.  lightly dry or let it dry on its own, then press.

**Q: should I use synthrapol and retayne at the same time for prewashing fabric?**
A: We recommend using the Synthrapol in a hot 140F wash to flush out any excess dye from the cloth that has been dyed. Retayne is used to treat commercial fabric that tends to bleed easily, especially reds. That treatment will help to lock in the color so that the fabric does not bleed when cared for. The treated fabric needs to be washed in cold water only.

**Q: Can I use this for prevent jeans bleeding on my white sneakers?**
A: You can treat your jeans with Retayne as long as it is applied to the jeans at 140F water. From then on, the jeans need to be washed in cool water only. it still might be a good routine to wash your white sneakers separately, even after the Retayne treatment.

**Q: Would this help to get bleeding stains out of a quilt that has already been washed and dried?**
A: No Retayne will help set it. Synthropol is the only product that I know of that will take the bleed out and it is not guaranteed to take it out.  If it has been dried it will be difficult to remove the run.  Retayne is the perfect product to wash the quilt with to stop the bleed before it happens.  If you are a  quilter then prewashing your batiks in particular, will stop future bleeds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product to wash a handmade quilt in.

Excellent product to wash a handmade quilt in. Keeps colors from running as well as keeping colors and whites true to their color.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Retayne Works.
*by K***R on January 1, 2026*

Retayne works. Often materials will bleed and that can lead to discoloring of other fabrics when washed together. I wash all new fabric individually with a Color Catcher. If the color catcher is discolored, I treat it with Retayne. One treatment is almost always sufficient. I then wash it again individually with a color catcher. If this follow-up wash shows a discolored color catcher, then I usually put that fabric in the scrap pile or trash it. Only rarely have I done 2 Retayne treatments. If the first treatment was insufficient, then usually the second treatment also fails and definitely time to trash the fabric. I have found a variety of colors that bleed - red, blue, green, yellow... with red seeming to be the worst. Considering the time and effort in making a quilt, or the cost of all the other garments in the washer, save yourself the anguish. Wash it alone and if it bleeds, treat it with Retayne. Bottomline, Retayne works.
