If there's grease on them then the bleach won't penetrate properly and neither will the dye, more likely to come out patchy.

I had scrubbed them with cilit bang degreaser,even the seat i have in dyeing orange is looking a little patchy it was white kashi,but looks as if its like a wee yellow patch or 2 on it,this fooking dyeing carryon is going my head in lol need to strip red ones i tried and need to re-do them again

Maybe the scrub with the Cillit Bang isn't removing all the the contaminants or even worse it might be part of the problem and causing the contamination depending what chemical is in it.

Don't know how dirty yours are but all I did with mine was put them in a jug with warm water and bleach.
1/2 & 1/2






Don't know if that helps

They came up a treat :daumenhoch:,i will try them 1/2 & 1/2 if the dye doesnt work or even the bleach would remove the dye wouldnt it if i wanted them white again. :daumenhoch:
