Dharma Professional Textile Detergent

Condition: New (sealed)

Price: $3.75

Size / Weight: 16 oz. (Pt.)

As a prewash - As an afterwash
Non-toxic alternative to Synthrapol developed by Dharma!

Works as well according to most who have tried it, lower-price, more eco friendly! Life is good! Enjoy!

What happened to Synthrapol? Nothing actually, but there was a scare...

Read on, and learn... At one point the manufacturer of Synthrapol told us they were completely discontinuing it. Just like that, Synthrapol is no more! After freaking out in the office for about 30 minutes, we set about working with a respected detergents chemist to make a viable substitute. Since Synthrapol has always been one of those things most dyers would never be without, we didn't want our customers to be left high and dry! So we managed to develop an industrial strength, non-toxic, alcohol free, solvent free, more environmentally friendly detergent that works as well as Synthrapol, and it's less expensive to boot! Enter Dharma Professional Textile Detergent.

After thoroughly testing the product ourselves for pre-washing, getting out oils, dye washout, etc, we then had one of our top tie dye customers test production scale usage doing a 3-way, blind, side by side test - Synthrapol, a replacement we were offered by the manufacturer, and our new non-toxic Professional Textile Detergent. Our customer liked the results of our product as well as he did Synthrapol, and enjoyed not having to smell the alcohol fumes. With the proper normal rinsing, washing in hot water with the new detergent, his tie-dyes came out brilliantly, and the white areas were still white, which is the ultimate test of any dye-house detergent.

Of course, the manufacturer of Synthrapol gave us a call soon after the "big scare" to let us know that it was all a hoax! Synthrapol is not discontinued, it will be available for the foreseeable future. So, since we put the time, energy and money into developing a non-toxic alternative to Synthrapol we are offering it as well. Use is exactly the same as Synthrapol - 1/4 cup per washing machine load, best used with HOT (140ºF or higher) water, both as a pre-wash to clean and prepare fabric for dyeing, get rid of fingerprints, oils, silk worm gum, and other things that cause the dye not to adhere well, and as an after-wash to get the excess dyes out. Also used, in the case of tie-dye, batik, or other situations where multiple colors are involved, to hold the dye out in suspension so it doesn't re-deposit where it isn't wanted. Gets out excess dye better and faster than normal household detergents so that items are safe to wash with others in the future. Another Dharma step forward towards a toxic free world!

Change / Cancel Your Order

We pick, check, pack, invoice, and often ship orders within hours of receiving them so we can get them to you fast! Therefore, if you need to change or cancel your order, you must contact us quickly! It's best to call us on the phone rather than emailing us because by the time we go through all of the day's emails, your order will probably be on its way to you!

Returns

If you need to return something, no problem. You can request a refund or an exchange or a credit, as you wish. Please examine the contents of your order upon arrival and call us right away if you need to return something for any reason. You have 30 days from the invoice date to get an RA# (Return Authorization Number). After 30 days no returns are possible. See below for more detail, and about special order and drop shipped items, books and DVDs - Books must be in brand new condition and must be returned within 10 days. DVDs cannot be returned unless defective. Sorry, but we sell them discounted and returns after they are read or viewed are not possible.

Call and get an RA# to put on the outside of the box. (Without it there will be confusion). Returned items must be in resellable, original condition.

Ship all returns to:

Dharma Trading Co.
654 Irwin St.
San Rafael, CA 94901

Do not ship anything C.O.D. We'll refund the shipping or pay for shipping to replace the item only if we made a mistake. If we did not do anything wrong, then we still have no problem with a refund or exchange, but we won't refund the shipping.

If your return reduces your order to a lower discount level, naturally we will have to recalculate the cost of the items you keep at the correct discount. Opened dyes and paints and other liquids and powders are not returnable unless defective, nor are sale items. DVDs, Steamers, Heat Presses and other drop ship or special order items are not returnable unless defective. We also do reserve the right to charge a restocking fee to cover our expenses for arbitrary returns for reasons not involving an error on our part or exchanges for a different size. That seems fair.

Dye Expectations

Dyeing is a craft, not a pure science, and like all crafts there is a learning curve and many nuances that affect the outcome...Be advised - we do not guarantee the result you wind up with will be what you want. One needs to read the directions carefully, follow them step by step, and test first when the results are more critical. If you are not sure about which dye to use after reading our descriptions, let us know, we're here to help, but in the end, you should still test, because many situations are unique. Also, when kids are tie dyeing, they are delighted no matter how the shirts look. We adults are much more critical and hard on ourselves or we just have a vision in our head of what we think it should look like. For those trying to match the color of something else exactly, you can get lucky, or it can take days of testing and tweaking.
