You have to be able to completely remove the covers - you can't dye while still on any part of the sofa because part of the dying process is to rinse out the excess dye from the fabric. You also want to be able to wash the covers first to remove dirt and stains so the dye takes evenly. If you have a soiled or stain spotted sofa and can't do it this way - consider....get it steam cleaned first - then stencil or sponge paint (lightly) with flat acrylic paint in random patterns so you cover the bad parts or at least diminish their noticability. I've done this to all kinds of fabric. If you don't put the paint on too thick (so it gets stiff and hard) it will look great and be comfortable to sit on. Good luck.

Dying a yellow sofa grey what colour dye do you use. Ive used Dylon grey colour and its come out olivey green. I only done two seat covers and I have the rest of the sofa to dye. any help appreciated?
you need to bleach the covers first (i don't mean household bleach). once that have been whitened then you can go grey, you will never get yellow to be a light grey
If i bleach a pink sofa cover can i then dye it with a brown dye?
As long as the sofa cover is made of cotton, linen, or another natural fiber this should not be a problem. Manmade materials like polyester are impossible to dye.
What is the best way to dye a red sofa cover brown at home?
The sofa cover will first need the old dye stripping out. This is to achieve a good base to dye on and help remove any finishes that may interfere with the dyeing process, the problem will come in getting the sofa cover into the washing mc so that it is free to move and take the dye evenly (so as not to get a patchy result). If the sofa needs to be split down into several batches they must be the same wt and have the same amount of dylon dye to have a chance of dyeing the same colour. Alternatively try looking up sofa cover dyers on google there are some companies listed there that do this professionally and will offer advice.

Do you rinse your tie dye shirt before you wash it?
After you tie-dye a shirt you need to wash out the loose dye that didn't fix to the shirt. Hopefully you used "reactive type" dyes which are permanent on cotton if used correctly. Here is how to wash out the loose dye: 1. Leave the shirt tied up! 2. Let it sit for a while if you have time to. If you let dyed shirts sit for a few hours it is much easier and cleaner to wash out the loose dye. 3. Wear gloves when you touch the dyed shirt because it's messy! 4. When you are ready to wash the loose dye out, take the tied up shirt to your sink. Leave it tied up and put it in the sink and turn on the cold running water. Let the water flow onto the shirt. A lot of loose dye will start to flow out from the shirt in the cold running water, this is normal. The cold flowing water will wash away the dye and keep the colors from running together and keep the white areas white. 5. Leave the shirt tied up and rinse and rinse until you kind of get sick of rinsing! 6. Finish washing out the loose dye by filling your washing machine with warm water. Add laundry soap (or special synthrapol detergent you can buy from the dye seller) and get the water sudsy. Untie the shirt and throw it in the soapy water. If you've rinsed out several shirts you can put them all in the washer together now. Wash the shirts in the washing machine as many times as you need to until when you look in a rinse cycle the water is clear and no more dye is coming out of the fabric. When you get to this point, you're done.

How do you get your gray hair to color the same color as you color the rest of your hair?
The only reason that this can happen is that you are using the wrong dye. Permanent dye covers grey hairs completely. If you are using a home dye make sure that it says 100 percent grey coverage. If this isn't the problem go to a salon and have a consultation. Your hair could be very resistant and they will be able to cover your grey for you.
