Halfway through the process of dying some cotton shorts with fiber reactive dye and just realized my tutorial does not clarify wether they need laundry detergent when the go in the washing machine at the end. Who knows the answer 😭

You’re dyeing them in the bucket and then the very last washout is in the machine? I also use a mild detergent it dyers detergent.

I do cold rinse: no detergent, hot rinse: no detergent, hot machine wash: dyers detergent, warm or cold machine wash: regular detergent.
