Frequently Asked Questions

I use fiber reactive dyes. They bind with the fabric, are colorfast, and don’t fade after washing. They are safe! They are considered non-toxic. You can even use them for infant clothing & chemically sensitive skin. (However, when using the dye in it’s powder form, you should work in a ventilated area and wear a mask) Even though they are not natural dyes, they are eco-friendly. They are classified as low impact dyes and meet the requirements of the Oeko-Tex Standard 100.

Ice-Dyeing is a dyeing technique that uses ice! It is similar to tie dyeing because you use the same kind of dye and you bind the fabric with rubber bands. However - instead of mixing the powder dyes with water, you place ice over the fabric and sprinkle powder dye over the top. As the ice melts, it creates a beautiful watercolor effect that is unique each time. Here at The Wildest Company, I mainly use this method to dye our apparel, along with a few other dyeing techniques like tub-dyeing. If you would like to learn how to ice dye, click here!

Hand-dyed pieces should be handled with care, but don't be scared! You got this! ​ DO NOT USE PRODUCTS WITH BLEACH ON YOUR HAND-DYED PIECES! When in doubt, hand-wash and hang dry using a mild detergent, but there are exceptions! Read below. ​ Silk & Rayon Pieces like Silk Scarves, Dusters, Robes, & Kimonos: These should be handled with care & caution since they are more delicate. All items should be hand washed with a mild detergent in cold water & hung to dry. Iron on low if needed. This is the best way to care for your pieces. ​ Cotton t-shirts, Hoodies, Crewnecks & Dog Bandanas: These can be machine washed on a gentle cycle after hand-washing them the first few times to ensure there is no additional bleeding. They can then be tumble dried on low or hung to dry. Iron on low. ​ Bamboo Socks: Hand-Wash or Machine Wash on gentle cycle with mild-detergent. Hang to Dry or Dry on Low. Iron on low if needed but not recommended. ​ Throw Blanket: Machine wash on gentle cycle. Tumble dry, low. Iron medium temp. ​ *For Roses Are Red & Blue Lagoon Colorways: Make sure you hand-wash multiple times to make sure no dye bleeds. The red/blue could turn other clothes pink/light blue so it is best to wash separately or make sure that it's not bleeding before washing with other items.

During the dye process, I wash these pieces at least once (and up to three times) so the intial shrinking should have already taken place. However, studies show that clothes can shrink between the 1-5 initial washes. If you'd like to avoid the clothes shrinking, I recommmend hand-washing in cold water and hang dry.
