Your cna get it in the south but they tend to put labels in Greek over the instructions and they are impossible to get off the original instructions. I always ask people who are coming over if they can bring me some. Worth a try.

You can get it in Debenhams in Ledra street. Up in the haberdashery department. It costs about 5.50 Euros. The instructions are in greek but it is simple to use:



Just empty the dye into the machine together with 7oo gms of salt. Put in the clothes clean and dry and do a wash at 40 degrees. Be sure that you do not choose a programme with a pre-wash. When the wash is finished, they recommend that you then do a normal wash to get rid of excess dye from the fabric.



Hope this helps.. Happy dyeing!

To get sticky labels off in one piece, warm them up well with a hairdyer.

This softens the glue, so that the label will peel of easily.
