Is there an easy or accessible way for me to dye my polyester comforter myself?


Name: Matt
Message: I have a 100% polyester fill, 100% polyester microfiber cover white comforter that I am wanting to dye black. Is there an easy, or accessible way for me to dye it myself that would not damage, or prevent me from using it? If so, how? Thanks.

The only way to do this is to buy a 100% cotton duvet cover, dye that, and then cover your comforter with it. Or, perhaps you can find a duvet cover which is already the color your want, which would save you quite a bit of effort. Try a web search with 'black duvet cover' and see what you can find.

You cannot dye a comforter that has a polyester cover, because dyeing polyester requires that you somehow find a cooking pot large enough for the item to move in freely as it boils for an hour with special polyester dye. I just can't imagine any way that that could be possible without access to industrial dyeing equipment.
