Turn off the heat and let sit for 10 minutes. For even results, gently agitate the fabric so that all the fabric is exposed to the dye evenly. Rinse the fabric with cold water, wash in warm soapy water and then roll in a towel to remove excess moisture. Line dry in the shade. For a flat finish iron the front, for a fluffy finish, place in the dryer at low temperature  when it is just about dry.
