Will tie-dyed shoes fade? Is it normal for tie-dyed shoes to fade?

Tie-dyeing is a craft that everyone likes. Tie-dyed shoes are very special and beautiful, but many people worry that tie-dyed shoes will fade when washed. Tie-dyeing discoloration is generally a problem with the dye or the dyeing process.

Tie-dyed shoes will fade. There are two reasons for the fading of tie-dyed shoes, mainly due to the dye problem and the process problem. If it is made with direct dyes, the color will fade due to the special craftsmanship and the characteristics of the dyes, as well as the failure to control the dyes, salts, temperature and time during the operation.

Tie-dye is the same as batik. It is not fading, but floating color. Just wash it with clean water once or twice before use. There will be fading phenomenon in the first wash, but it will be fine after a few washes. The possible reason for the fading of tie-dye is the dye problem or the dyeing process problem. If it is made of direct dye, due to the special handicraft and the characteristics of the dye, if the dye, salt, temperature and time are not controlled well during the operation, it will fade severely. If you want to keep the original color without fading, it is impossible. Only by washing it with high temperature to dilute it a little and wash the floating color first, the fading will not be so serious in the future.

There are several ways to prevent tie-dyed shoes from fading, as follows:

1. Soak in salt water for 24 hours. Remember to soak all the shoes in it. However, this method is obviously not suitable for Nike, Converse and other shoes.

2. Use white vinegar, apply it to the discolored area, and then blow it with a hair dryer for half a minute, which can effectively alleviate the fading of shoes;

3. Scrub or scrub with raw soap to remove floating color, then use 1%-3% sodium hypochlorite solution for oxidation rinsing. After removal, it must be washed with low-temperature soap. Before brushing shoes in the future, soak them in salt water first, so that they are not easy to fade. However, it is still not suitable for shoes that are easy to debond.
