peach polyester to light pink


Name: rhonda wildman
Message: i have some beautiful curtains and they are polyester and peach color right now i really want them to be a light pink, can you help

To go from peach to light pink would require bleaching, not dyeing. Dyeing can only darken a fabric, not lighten it. To lighten a fabric, you would have to remove or damage the dye that is in it.

Unfortunately, you cannot bleach polyester. The only color change that is possible would be to go darker, such as to a hot pink. See Dyeing Polyester with Disperse Dyes for more information on dyeing polyester.
