How to Dye Fabrics in a Maytag Front Loader

It used to be that if you wanted to dye fabric you had to boil it in a pot of dye and carefully stir while avoiding staining anything else. Thankfully, now you can add modern clothing dyes directly to your washing machine for successful fabric dyeing. The process is slightly more of a gamble when using a front loading machine because you cannot check the color midway through the wash cycle, so make sure you are committed to your selected color in all possible shades.
